Dooku Captured Friday On Cartoon Network

New episode of Clone Wars returns Friday with "Dooku Captured."

Clone Wars is back after the holidays.  I still think everyone should be watching this.

In "Dooku Captured" Anakin and Obi-Wan are about to capture Count Dooku but it seems he's already been captured by some space pirates.  In the episode we will also learn more about Dooku and how he fell from being a Jedi to become a...jerk.

The episode will also be introducing some new characters with the space gangster/pirates.

Director Jesse Yeh had this to say about the episode:
“I have always been interested in the drama behind this particular character,” Yeh explains. “He thinks realistically, and has a solid mind. The actions he takes are always so direct and straight forward.

“I sense that deep down, Dooku holds a sort of emotional connection with the Jedi,” Yeh says. “I’ve always been interested in the drama behind him. Dooku thinks realistically, he has a solid mind, and the actions he takes are very direct and straightforward.

“In a way, he’s almost pathetic. His mind is constantly being twisted by his pride, which is what originally led him to the dark side. Because of his pride, he doesn’t realize he has turned into exactly the sort of monster that he once fought against. From his perspective, he is not doing anything different from what he did when he was still a Jedi. He’s just trying to save the universe – but this time from what he sees as a corrupt Republic. In the end, he’s become  just another expendable pawn of the true evil.”
