Star Wars: Dooku: Jedi Lost

by Cavan Scott Narrated by Orlagh Cassidy, Euan Morton, Pete Bradbury, Jonathan Davis, Jinn Neil Hellegers, Sean Kenin, January LaVoy, Various Narrators

Overview

Delve into the history of the sinister Count Dooku in this audio original set in a galaxy far, far away....

Darth Tyranus. Count of Serenno. Leader of the Separatists. A red saber, unsheathed in the dark. But who was he before he became the right hand of the Sith? As Dooku courts a new apprentice, the hidden truth of the Sith Lord's past begins to come to light.

Dooku's life began as one of privilege — born within the stony walls of his family's estate, orbited by the Funeral Moon where the bones of his ancestors lie interred. But soon, his Jedi abilities are recognized, and he is taken from his home to be trained in the ways of the Force by the legendary Master Yoda.

As he hones his power, Dooku rises through the ranks, befriending fellow Jedi Sifo-Dyas and taking a Padawan of his own, the promising Qui-Gon Jinn — and tries to forget the life that he once led. But he finds himself drawn by a strange fascination with the Jedi Master Lene Kostana and the mission she undertakes for the Order: finding and studying ancient relics of the Sith, in preparation for the eventual return of the deadliest enemies the Jedi have ever faced.

Caught between the world of the Jedi, the ancient responsibilities of his lost home, and the alluring power of the relics, Dooku struggles to stay in the light — even as the darkness begins to fall.

Editorial Reviews

JUNE 2019 - AudioFile

An ensemble cast narrates a story involving one of the Star Wars saga's more sinister figures: Count Dooku. Told through two storylines, the audio drama examines Dooku's life through flashbacks and through the eyes of his apprentice, Asajj Ventress. While the story seems rushed and bare-bones, the talented narrators and impressive production quality result in an engaging listen. Orlagh Cassidy perfectly captures Asajj Ventress, and Marc Thompson nails the iconic Master Yoda. Euan Morton evokes Christopher Lee’s Dooku without attempting to emulate Lee’s iconic voice. Every scene is enhanced by subtle scoring and sound effects, giving the experience a movie-like quality. The rushed nature of the story benefits Star Wars fans but less so newcomers.
