Lit Dooku Novel: Should James Luceno Write One?

"Doo-doo" is one of many English euphemisms for excrement.

Example "We are now in deep doo-doo" would be appropriate to be said by Han & Leia in the garbage masher.

 

you must read LoE, and then ROTS novelization. killer awesome combo

 

Hi JediMatteus,

After reading this thread I got the impression, that the novelization of RotS is much more endowed with additional information than for instance the novelization of the Maul/Opress-arcs "The Shadow Conspiracy".

@Ironlord
Thanxx. Maybe I find Doodu also in the novelization of RotS or in the Labyrinth

 

It is. Lots of bonus scenes, some existing scenes with dialogue modifications, lots of showing what the characters are thinking and how they are feeling.

The Kashyyyk scenes from the movie are basically cut though, to squeeze everything else in.

 

Hi Barriss Coffee,

Dooku was broken when Sidious ordered him to kill Asajj Ventress, his favorite assassine.

 

Dooku is also featured in Yoda: Dark Rendyvous.

 

Randy Dandy Dooku

That was the first Dooku book I read. With an amazing Ventress too

 

Legacy of the Jedi:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Legacy_of_the_Jedi

is another Dooku-heavy story (it's referenced at least once, in passing, in the ROTS novel - Dooku recalling a comment from Lorian Nod, from that book.

 

Lorian Nod may have been a jerk until much later in life, but his assessment of seeing emptiness in Dooku's heart certainly was accurate.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I mainly read it because I know that James Luceno's prose style agrees with me very well, and I went in prepared to be forgiving of it as a book that is a lead-in to the movie, knowing that some people weren't satisfied because it doesn't stand alone as it's own story. I really impressed, though, LoE's best trick was making me feel like it belongs as a nearly indispensable part of RotS and the Prequel Trilogy in general. It left me with a sense that I would like to have seen much of it's material as part of the actual movies for a more complete experience.

 

The timeline is important, if it would've been between TPM and AotC, then yes it can be interesting. If not, nah. There are lots of books and comic book about Dooku already... Such as Labyrinth Of Evil, Legacy of the Jedi etc.

 

Don't we wish that about many Star-Wars-Books

 

yesh but those novels, as well as Dark rendyvous are no longer canon. so we need a new Dooku novel or two
