They might not have spoken at the funeral...unlikely, but not impossible.
Darth Maul was good enough for me in TPM, but having Dooku would be interesting.

I was actually thinking how much more depth it would have been had Dooku been in TPM in terms of Anakin, and how that plays out with them in AOTC and ROTS.
What I am saying is that how excellent it would have been had Qui-Gon introduced Anakin to Dooku, and told him that was once his master that trained him.
Then in TPM, rather than have Obi-Wan being tempted to join Dooku, how much more it would have been had this been Anakin, especially when Dooku talks about wishing Qui-Gon was there and needing his help, and Dooku telling him about Darth Sidious and that he must join him to help him join the Sith. And then think of how this would have played out when they battle near the end of the film
This then would for me would have really added more to what takes place in ROTS when Dooku and Anakin battle once again. Then add all this to Anakin's relationship with Palpatine, and that Anakin was supposed to destroy the Sith.

I am torn at the idea of Dooku in TPM. Part of me loves it, since Dooku is such a great character, and the more the better. On the other hand, it takes away from the mysteriousness of him.
I think that mystery was the key component to Dooku's character. (Remember AOTC's opening scroll describes him as "mysterious.") You're not supposed to know what Dooku is doing, not sure if he's good or bad. Not until the end lightsaber duel is it revealed that he's an enemy. (This gets forgotten upon subsequent viewings, when you know he's the villain right away.)
Having Dooku in TPM takes away from the mystery factor. It would be clearer that he's an enemy of the Republic right at the beginning of AOTC.
But I wonder if Lucas would have included Dooku in TPM if he had the character planned from the beginning ...

"Anyone else find it funny that this is the second box office smash trilogy to have Christophe lee in, yet for some reason, his Character should be in all 3 films, yet is only in 2 of them? Just a thought I had."
Actualy if you remember Saruman was put back in Return of the King in the Extended DVD.

It would have given a nice little surprise for AotC. To see Dooko as a good guy,
then be slandered by Padme for trying to kill her,
then seeing that he actually was trying to kill her
and on top of it all is a sith lord :o
Maybe he can digitally add Dooko sitting in the chamber haha.

These are some good ideas, and make for great story telling and all but...
I don't think Dooku was mean't to be fleshed out like that. Only given a slight background..more so than Maul.
Because like Maul..he was just another stepping stone to get the ball rolling for the creation of the empire.

I think Dooku on the council would be awesome! LOL..that would've added an element of foreshadowing to the next movie if Dooku could've said something like "Anakin's journey into Jedi-hood would be a well remembered event in of the Jedi order..." or something to that effect.
