Dooku first appears in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones as the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid). He is also the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a federation of planetary systems rebelling against the Galactic Republic. Dooku claims to be angered by the bureaucracy of the Galactic Senate, as well as the apparent unwillingness of the Jedi Council to aid oppressed galactic systems.Dooku captures Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on Geonosis and informs Kenobi that he is attempting to save the Republic from the influence of a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious. Dooku also states that he was saddened by the loss of Kenobi's former master and Dooku's former apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson). Kenobi refuses to join Dooku, who promptly sentences him to be executed.An army of clone troopers and Jedi rescue Kenobi, along with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman). Anakin and Kenobi chase Dooku and engage him in a lightsaber duel in which Kenobi is incapacitated and Anakin loses his right forearm. Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz), Dooku's former master, arrives to save them. Yoda fights Dooku to a stalemate, and Dooku distracts him by trying to make a large pillar fall on the two Jedi. Dooku then escapes from Geonosis as Yoda is distracted. Dooku returns to Coruscant and delivers to Sidious the blueprints for the Geonosian-designed Death Star and informs his master that their plan is working: "The war has begun".
