I was always a fan of Dooku through the movies and in the original clone wars cartoons, and i thought that this possibility could have created some really interesting scenarios; including a Dooku V. Palpatine battle and i cannot see a downside to giving Christopher Lee some more screen time in the prequels.

It's the rule of The Sith: a Sith apprentice cannot acheive the rank of Master until he's killed his own. Dooku was trying to tempt Obi Wan into joining him. (Not much different than Vader tried with Padme and Luke.) It's a big reason why there aren't very many Sith left; they're constantly trying to kill each other!

In response to Afrobean:
Obi Wan never used anger to defeat Maul! In fact, it was the way that he defeated Maul that made him plenty prepared for Anakin's "leap of faith". Anakin using his feelings as he fought was an example of a BAD JEDI, so it's good that you did indeed notice that. Also, Yoda could defeat Dooku, that's why Dooku put Obi and Anakin in danger; so that he could escape with his life!

Oh, and Vader was a Sith Lord; the same as Maul and Dooku.

As far as the question on whether Lucas should continue the franchise: http://www.cracked.com/article/167_5...an-prequels_p2 Not to say I don't think I wouldn't enjoy 'em (Luke becomes so powerful in The Force that he crushes an AT-AT with a wave of his hand!), I just think that there would be even more haters than those for the PT (especially after reading that article).
