Description: Darth Tyranus / Count Dooku, The Clone Wars, Sleepwear
Prefix: SL
Detachment: Sith Lord Detachment
Context: The Clone Wars: Season 3 (Episode 12)

The Nightsisters, under a cloak of invisibility, infiltrate Dooku's palace on Serenno in their attempt at assassination. Though they fail to dispatch the Count, their attack reveals Count Dooku's stylish sleepwear. Dooku sports the finest silk easy-fit trousers and a matching side-opening silk blouson in dark gray-blue with a midnight blue collar and sash. The front pocket is monogrammed and the sleeves are accented by finely embroidered patterning along the sides. The ensemble is finished off with hand-stitched kid leather charcoal moccasins.


For 501st membership, only the requirements in black need to be met.

The Sith Lord Detachment defines additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, items listed under “For level two certification” are recommended features that will greatly improve the quality of the costume. These items are not required for 501st membership, but are highly recommended. Items listed under “For level three certification” are some of the highest level accuracy features for those who strive to be screen accurate. Please visit the SLD site for more specific details.
