The German pronunciations of SW characters are so hard-wired into my brain it never even occurred to me that "Dooku" might sound a little silly to anglophones. Like idk I always thought "Doh-ku" goes kinda hard like the fuckin Dovahkiin from Skyrim. Wdym you guys pronounce it like doodoo

That being said I regularly flush that one fanon name for Cody down the toilet

I'm not calling him that.

#i think the “german“ way of saying dooku might actually also be correct for anglos bc that's how christopher lee pronounces it too #makes me wonder why george had to spell it like that #he could've kept with the obi-wan and qui-gon lineage tradition of hyphenated pseudo-asian names and just gone for doh-ku straight away #count dooku #commander cody #sw uniquely capable of giving glup shitto names no matter the language
