Dooku was driven back and brutally disarmed by Skywalker, who cut off both of Dooku's hands and seized the lightsaber. Skywalker held both Dooku's lightsaber and his own weapon in a cross at the Sith Lord's neck, and after continuous goading from Palpatine , decapitated the defeated Count. However, as the character was developed, and Christopher Lee was cast, the concept art was shelved, with the curved hilt of Dooku's lightsaber being the lone holdover from it.
The final hilt was designed to resemble a rapier handle, down to the guard, as a reflection in the actor's own skill at fencing.

Dooku's lightsaber , also known as Darth Tyranus' lightsaber or Dooku's Sith lightsaber , was the personal curved-hilt lightsaber of Dooku , the Count of Serenno. The former Jedi Master , who became Darth Tyranus and the political leader of the Separatist Alliance , handcrafted the weapon's unique hilt with a kyber crystal that emitted a red blade.
The weapon was built for the purpose of lightsaber combat , and the Sith Lord carried it with him into numerous battles during the Clone Wars , a conflict he and his master orchestrated from both sides. In his final bout , Dooku lost his Sith lightsaber to the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker once he was defeated in a duel aboard the starship Invisible Hand.
Skywalker used Dooku's own weapon to behead the Sith Lord and end his life. Dooku's curved-hilt lightsaber featured a red blade after becoming Darth Tyranus. When he was a Jedi Master , Dooku set aside the lightsaber he had used as a Padawan to create one that was superior. The new lightsaber used a personalized design, and it had no connection to his master, Yoda , or to the fashion of that time. Dooku studied the Jedi Archives ' records to make the design, and the lightsaber was made to suit his technique, and favored long, elegant moves and deftness of hand.
He continued to use the blade even after he became a Sith , [12] but by then his lightsaber had begun to generate a red -colored blade as a result of Dooku utilizing a red kyber crystal provided to him by his new master, Darth Sidious. Unlike any standard lightsaber, Dooku crafted his with an unusual curved shape, which helped control the weapon when in a duel. Primarily, it allowed Dooku greater finesse and precision in combat when lunging or slashing at an opponent.
This was done by Dooku as he considered himself a sophisticated duelist, [3] often able to use his lightsaber under the control of only one hand, and against multiple opponents. Dooku wished to create a superior lightsaber, and, after studying Jedi Archives to make the design, the Jedi Master had his personalized design. His lightsaber had no connection to the fashion at the time or to his master, Yoda.
This lightsaber was made to suit his technique, and this weapon favored long, elegant moves and deftness of hand. Dooku continued to use the blade even after he became a Sith and during the galactic -conflict known as the Clone Wars.
The weapon now had a red color, and, ten years after the Invasion of Naboo, Dooku used his weapon at the First Battle of Geonosis , which started the Clone Wars. Renouncing the Jedi Order, Count Dooku challenged his former master to a lightsaber duel.
Immediately after, Dooku was confronted by his former Jedi Master, Yoda, whom Dooku was unable to best in combat with either the Force or his lightsaber, regardless of having challenged his former master to prove how powerful he had become. Lightsabers remain a cornerstone of the Star Wars universe, but while new colors and designs repeatedly appear, curved-hilts like that of Count Dooku's distinctive weapon are a rare sight. Dooku's Makashi form represents a bygone era, a simpler time before blasters and other advanced weaponry were encountered on the battlefield.
As the most prominent weapon of the antiquated Makashi style, curved-hilt lightsabers are scarcely used in more modern Star Wars battles. Though the design may be dated, Dooku cherished his personalized weapon and considered himself a sophisticated duelist, realizing that certain contests are decided by one's skill with a lightsaber rather than knowledge of the Force.
