10 Movie Sequels That Totally Insulted Great Characters

While Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones leaves a lot to be desired, main antagonist Count Dooku is the closest thing the film has to a redeeming quality. Played by legendary actor Christopher Lee, the Sith Lord is a powerful opponent to Anakin and Obi-Wan, defeating them both easily. He even matches Yoda in combat.

However, in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, the character has only four lines before losing a quick lightsaber battle to Anakin and Obi-Wan. At the behest of Palpatine, Anakin slices Dooku to bits, first taking off his hands and then his head.

Given how commanding he was in Attack of the Clones, he seems almost a different character. He's significantly less imposing, and it's hard to believe he ever stood a chance against Jedi Knights.
