[Dooku supposes he shouldn't be too surprised- this boy helped create a Porter earlier this year, after all. But still, he is doubtful, and maybe a little defensive. Part of the status he elevates a lightsaber to comes from their rarity as uniquely-crafted weapons using specially-harvested crystals. A lightsaber, like the title of Count, is a mark of being amongst the elite, those gifted with special power and perception beyond ordinary beings. The idea that one could simply be wished into being- particularly the specific one that Dooku assembled with his own hands and wisdom after painstaking research and design- rankles somewhat.
He forces the feeling down. A lightsaber is simply a powerful tool, he tells himself. His goal must not be clouded by foolish sentiments.]
