Although Dooku, the Count of Serenno and former Jedi Master, who went on to become Darth Tyranus and the political leader of the Separatists, isn’t a good guy, his lightsaber is certainly a work of art. We found Count Dooku’s Jedi Lightsaber at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland.
Count Dooku’s Jedi Lightsaber – $169.99
The blade is not included with the hilt and can be purchased separately at $25 for a 24″ blade or $50 each for a 31″ or 36″ blade. Dooku’s blade will ignite blue.
His iconic curved hilt is rendered in detail. Unlike many Force-wielding characters, Dooku uses the same hilt when he becomes the Sith Lord Tyrannus. He is simply given a red kyber crystal by the Emperor.
Dooku crafted the curved hilt and unique emitter after becoming a Jedi Master. He discarded the saber he built as a Padawan and studied lightsaber design to build a weapon optimized for dueling.

The lightsaber of Dooku’s apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn, also recently arrived at Dok-Ondar’s.

“His iconic curved hilt is rendered in detail. Unlike many Force-wielding characters, Dooku uses the same hilt when he becomes the Sith Lord Tyrannus. He is simply given a red kyber crystal by the Emperor.”
Initially this was true, but This hilt is quite a bit different from the red-bladed Legacy hilt also available at Dok-Ondar’s. It features a shrouded emitter, shorter spike, dark metal beveled pommel, gold detail near the pommel, and more differences.
Also, I might point out at the time Dooku switched to his red lightsaber, Palpatine was not Emperor and was the Chancellor of the Republic and secretly leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems/Separatist Alliance. He may not even have been officially elected Chancellor yet actually. Palpatine didn’t declare himelf Emperor until a while after Dooku was killed by Anakin.
Sorry if I come off as a know-it-all….
