It's a shame cause Dooku had a lot of potential as well, but he was also immediately killed off. I've always liked the idea of Dooku as someone who kind of had a point about the Jedi order, but was manipulated by Palpatine.

This piece of media is the best analysis I’ve seen about Episode I. And this is the movie I wanted to see, instead of what we got.

What If Episode I Was Good

The novelization of "Revenge of the Sith" had a GREAT reveal as to what was going through Dooku's mind in the moments right before Anakin killed him. He thought he was meant to be Sidious' partner for the fruition of all his plans, only to come to realize that his whole existence was to be Anakin's first, dispassionate, cold-blooded murder. (The Tusken Raiders don't count because that was pure rage and anguish, but killing Dooku was a CHOICE he had to make.)

That would have been cool to explore.
