In legends, Dooku actually explains why he hates Anakin: He could feel Yoda's touch still lingering on the edges like a distant echo. Vividly his mind went back to their last meeting, on Geonosis: swords drawn at last, and finally equal.
In Anakin's case, it was his background (son of a slave raised in poverty) and his prosthesis what made in inferior in Dooku's eyes.
During that battle, he learned why Qui-Gon supported and defended Anakin, when he showed how strong his connection to the Force is. Dooku had very little respect for the young Jedi Knight, despite his bravery and unbelievably strong connection to the Force.
Count Dooku was a wise and powerful Sith Lord, so he knew that his death would be inevitable in the end. He also knew that Anakin had been corrupted by the dark side of the Force, and he wanted to spare him from any further suffering or guilt.
Palpatine, pretending to be a helpless bystander, goads his future apprentice on. “Do it!” he hisses. Skywalker does, beheading Dooku as he gives in to his base emotions. He almost immediately feels regret, but Palpatine works to dismiss it.
Giving in to his feelings, Anakin cuts off Mace Windu's hand, giving Palpatine the opportunity to kill him. Anakin regrets this almost instantly, but the thought of Padme was stronger than his remorse This is the moment Anakin officially became Darth Vader and led to serious issues in the Skywalker Saga.
It's not shown, but it is clearly insinuated that Anakin killed the younglings. This is confirmed later in the movie when Obi-Wan informs Padme that Anakin killed them. Both are torn apart with hurt and confusion, trying to make sense of something so terrible. How could Anakin do such a thing?
Count Dooku became a Sith because the Jedi served a corrupt Republic, but he had another more personal reason to betray the order. The following contains spoilers from Yoda #4, on sale now from Marvel Comics. Darth Sidious was Star Wars' master schemer.
Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army.
Obi-Wan discovers that Qui-Gon's old master, Count Dooku, has become a Sith Lord; and Dooku mentions Qui-Gon as he interrogates a captured Obi-Wan, expressing grief over his former apprentice's death and debating that Qui-Gon would have followed him in leaving the Republic had he survived.
Anakin gives in to his hatred of Dooku and uses his anger to overpower him, severing both of Dooku's hands and leaving him helpless. Palpatine then orders Anakin to execute Dooku on the spot, thus betraying Tyranus. After initial hesitation, Anakin decapitates Dooku, much to his horror of the betrayal by his master.
With a potential Jedi Code-defying love affair with another Jedi, Dooku is more of a foil to his Clone Wars-era enemies, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Dooku's lover, Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, possibly retaining feelings for Dooku well after he joined the ranks of the Lost Twenty.
While Dooku was certainly evil -- and even had a Darth sobriquet, Tyranus, that he rarely used -- he was never quite a Sith, at least not in the true sense. Unlike those who espoused the Sith doctrine, Dooku wasn't motivated by hatred or fear, but by the same purpose that drove him as a Jedi.
The attempt was carried out by Zam Wesell, a partner of bounty hunter Jango Fett who himself following orders from Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems so that it could gain the backing of Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation under the condition that Amidala was killed.
When Dooku was still with the Jedi Order, he was considered to be one of the greatest (if not the greatest) lightsaber duelists of his generation. Anakin really wasn't as good of a duelist as many people hype him up to be.
He fell under the influence of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of Naboo, and left the Jedi Order. After learning that Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself, replacing Darth Maul as Sidious's second apprentice.
Far from it. Count Dooku, aka Darth Tyranus, was one of the most powerful Sith Lords, not just during his time, but ever. Dooku practiced Form II of light saber combat, Makashi, which focused heavily on technique. He was not only a master of it, but most likely the greatest practitioner of the form ever.
Bottom line, Dooku never considered himself a Sith. And he wasn't; he was a man looking to change the galaxy in a way the Jedi were unwilling to try. And that is why he joined the Sith and became Darth Sidious' apprentice, Darth Tyrannus. When Dooku became Sidious's apprentice, he was already an elderly man.
The Abduction of Chancellor Palpatine was a plot initiated by Count Dooku and the criminal mastermind, Moralo Eval, which involved abducting the Chancellor while attending the Festival of Light on Naboo. The plan was formed to strike a crippling blow to the Galactic Republic.
Count Dooku was once Yoda's padawan learner. He was given the title Jedi Knight and then Jedi Master, and while he was a Jedi Master, he trained his own padawan learner, Qui Gon Jinn.
While Yoda holds his own in both of these fights, he doesn't win any of them. We never see the greatest of Jedi win a fight. They both end in draws. It makes sense that he'd battle to a draw with Darth Sidious, but he should've easily been able to handle his old apprentice Count Dooku.
“The tear [on Anakin's face] says that he knows what he's done, but he has now committed himself to a path that he may not agree with… but he is going to go on anyway. It's the one moment that says he's self-aware that he's rationalizing all his behavior.
No, he did not. He loved Padmé too much to cheat on her. He even got angry and almost killed Padmé's colleague, Rush Clovis, when Anakin walked in on Clovis trying to kiss Padmé. In addition, he killed innocent children and lost his dreams for her.
However, when Palpatine destroyed the Republic, Panaka sided with him. Though he never acted against Padme, his support of Palpatine included the support of a stronger military presence, which was a betrayal of her ideals.
