I think Dooku has so much More to be desired, whether to be loved or hated as he went from 1 of the best and most powerful Jedi in the Order, to a man of Nobility in which planet he went after he left the Jedi order and Republic because he saw in his eyes, so much lying and deception and corruption within' the Republic he was sworn to protect with his life.

So much more can be made and written about Dooku, as the Jedi Order literally swore to others that Dooku could No way have turned from 1 of the best Jedi in the Order, to a dark-sided Sith.

I don't know really, I mean Christopher Lee has had a very distinguished career, however only a "minor" part of the SW universe (I really do mean that with the greatest respect).

Now is that really enough to warrant something in the game (possibly not), maybe a likeness to his face appearing on a holo in the jedi temple on Tython perhaps as Dooku's great, great, great, great .... you get the point.

The oldest role I remember seeing him in was "the Spanish captain" in the Gregory Peck movie Captain Horatio Hornblower. I think that was made in '51. Of course, that doesn't mean it was Lee's first role ever.

Personally speaking, I don't think anything should be done. Ultimately, where would it end? Who are we or BioWare to decide who should receive an in-game memorial over another who were part of the Star Wars lore and universe.

To be honest, Dooku was nothing more than a pawn in the grand scheme of things. It's not like the character is as iconic as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, or any of the other primary characters in the canon (and I am talking about the official canon, not the craptasticness that is the (thankfully) nuked EU). I could see it if this was STO memorializing Captain Kirk, Spock, or "Bones" McCoy, since the timeline of the game would make such a thing a lot more practical. Here in SWTOR, not so much. I think it would be a much better tribute for the communities on each server to come together and organize their own in-game tribute to Sir Christopher Lee, than having BioWare implement something that just wouldn't fit or make sense in the game.

That being said, I certainly wouldn't object to seeing a curved hilt lightsaber making a limited time appearance in the CM. At least it would be something a little different worth buying. And they could donate all proceeds from the sale of that particular item to a charity in the name of Sir Lee.

I dunno, they could actually use the CM for good in this case. I know Lee was pretty active in charity work - take one of his favorite charities, all proceeds go to it.

I would love the bust of him from the Jedi Temple (the scene explaining it was cut from the final release of the film, but it's still around in deleted scenes somewhere.) You don't have to call it Dooku's bust, but we'd all know what it was.

Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee...........Maybe name a planet Carandini, that would work, or a asteroid field.

Headless commemorative statue 'He-who-shall-fall-to-the-chosen-one'.

And a lightsaber. Yes, a lightsaber.

I don't mean to sound rude or insensitive, but to be perfectly blunt Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) doesn't really deserve to be memorialized in SWTOR. Leonard Nimoy being memorialized in STO is another matter entirely. He was Spock, hell he practically MADE Spock. He directed two of the Star Trek films, wrote two autobiographies "I Am Not Spock" and "I Am Spock", made the phrase Live Long and Prosper what it is today. He even had an asteroid renamed after him to remember Nimoy as Spock. Long story short, Nimoy WAS Star Trek. Hate to say it but Dooku wasn't all that important to the Star Wars universe.

If anyone from Star Wars deserves to be memorialized in any way it's Mark Hamil, James Earl Jones, and Harrison Ford; and they're still living. Hell even Hayden Christensen deserves it more.

Of course Lee was a great actor and had a ton of good roles under his belt and a pretty long list of movies behind him, not belittling his career.
