Phantom Menace had Darth Maul, Attack of the Clones had Christopher Lee as a Sith and Revenge of the Sith had a Jedi-cyborg with four arms though. They looked really cool at least : P The problem was all three were completely unimportant to the plot. Maul looked cool, but you could have replaced him with a few cardboard boxes with a frowny face painted on them a lightsaber taped to them for all the difference it would have made to his role. Dooku was probably the biggest waste of a big name actor in the PT (his only real competition being Samuel L. Jackson) as he seemed like an intriguing character that would have some interesting insight on the Jedi, the Sith, the Republic, and the Confederacy (having been involved with all of them at various points), but the films hastily got rid of him before he could ever get around to doing much. Grievous was a completely ridiculous and pointless character who didn't even have the wow factor of the other two and seemed to have been hastily shoved into Episode III when Lucas realized he didn't have a new character he could use to sell toys yet. None of them had any buildup or gave the main characters (or the audience) any reason to have them or cheer for their defeat beyond them being the designated bad guy, which is partially understandable given that none of them lasted for more than half a film's worth of runtime. Considering that Lucas created two of the most iconic villains of all time in the OT in Palpatine and (especially) Vader, the fact that the PT's villains were so painfully lacklustre and misused becomes all the more glaring as one of its more notable pratfalls.

Clonetrooper - "We're out of rockets!" ...Dude, did you forget you have like 20 laser cannons on that thing? Personally, I like the way they ended the subsequent fight scene with Dooku trying to drop a rock pillar on Anakin and Obi-Wan. Yoda could have quickly pulled the much-lighter Kenobi and Skywalker to safety or slammed the pillar into Dooku's ship after catching it in order to disable it and prevent his getaway, but instead he just takes an agonizingly long time tossing it to the side so that Dooku is given enough time to escape. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
