Dooku was such an interesting character that I honestly feel bad whenever I remember Anakin killing him. I know he deserved it for the horrible things he had done and Palpatine causing this to happen was really smart, but still

This entire scene of the duel between Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku in front of Palpatine was my favorite part of the book. It describes in eloquent detail how all 4 players in the room show up in the force. Obi-Wan as pure light-side, Dooku in the dark side and Palpatine as a black hole somehow hiding his presence from the Jedi...then Anakin as a storm, not yet light or dark...

It follows Dooku's point of view and his surprise at how strong Anakin was and his shock when Palpatine pushes Anakin to kill him. The entire scene is so surreal to me.

My favorite quote from that book is

"when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself...It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith--Because now your self is all you'll ever have."
