Star Wars: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Count Dooku
1. He Once Became A Vampire!
There's a reason this barmy entry sits comfortably atop this collection of Count Dooku facts and secrets; how on earth do you top a Force-sensitive blood sucker?
In what was clearly a sweet nod to the legendary career of Dooku actor Christopher Lee, the comic book miniseries Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader’s Castle actually involved a story that saw the devious fallen Jedi becoming a very different kind of Count.
Interacting with bat-like creatures who possessed the ability to transform humans into a similar form of monstrosity, Cavan Scott's tale saw Dooku very much becoming Dracula-esque in this tribute of sorts to Lee's work as the world's most famous vampire.
Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this 2018 development is the fact that the series is actually classed as Canon. So, who knows? We may yet see some undead Sith menaces coming to blows with our heroes in a Disney+ series or nutty horror movie spin-off later down the road.
For now, though, we'll just have to make do with a Dooku brandishing his fangs on the pages.
