I have to admit, I am very much looking forward to seeing him! I got a sense from a really short clip from a Christopher Lee interview that the character isn't a simple bad-guy, that he has some legitimate concerns about the Jedi Order and part of his character's function is to point those weaknesses out. That will be fun, although I will have a hard time not snickering when I hear his character say, "You must join with me, Obi Wan..." Hehehe, now where have I heard him say something like that before?

Massive spoiler for those who are yet blissfully unaware (highlight to read): SPOILER Count Dooku is the new Sith apprentice! His Sith title is Darth Tyranus, as we find out toward the end of the film when he meets his master, Darth Sidious (the real one, not yours truly :-)END SPOILER

With that in mind, Dooku is set to be the most complex character of the saga, only surpassed by Anakin. I suspect that Dooku's motives are VERY elaborate, and not merely "I'm bad and I'm gonna kick your tail". No, Dooku will do that too... but at heart, I do believe he's got a higher good in mind, in a sort of "Doctor Doom"-ish sense.
