Let us be thankful that Dooku was not cut from ROTS. In my view, he should have been shown on the Bridge of the ship while the Jedi were making their way up to the tower. Or perhaps had a scene with Palpatine. Or both. Then, he would show up to duel the Jedi. That would give him around 15 minutes of screen time. Not that great, but better than 5 minutes.

Sadly, both Saruman and Dooku had utterly pathetic deaths. With Dooku's moreso humiliating than Saruman's, but the fact remains. *Sigh*...I won't get started. ~Vassago
