Wan Kenobi and  tries in vain to recruit him was not in the original shooting  script. This scene was shot during reshoots in early 2001, and was  designed to confuse the audience into thinking that Dooku may not be  evil after all. This new scene replaced two other scenes, discarded  during postproduction where Count Dookus true allegiance was  clearly stated; a brief meeting where Padme and Anakin meet the  character in a conference room and refuse an offer to join him, and  their subsequent trial where they are sentenced to death, which  would have led directly to the scenes in the execution arena in the  film.
