Where did Dooku get his Count title from?

Post by Gandalf »

I was wondering this, is he royalty on some planet, was the title bestowed in some bizarre Jedi way?

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Properly speaking, a county (or an earldom, in the English context) does not imply royalty, only nobility. It would appear that Dooku of Serenno belonged to a noble family, and on leaving the Jedi Order, acceded to the title.

I heard R2-D2 has his own line of trashcans, but he only took it because he was outta work and needed money, to many lube jobs ate up all the money he got from the trilogies.

I think he also took a few cheap porn jobs to make ends meet between the trilogies
