    Anakin was constantly pushing Dooku back and rocking him with raw overwhelming power and then just like that...finessed his hands right off of his arms. The look of shock and horror as Dooku lost his hands and then begins to understand what is happening with Anakin...intense and incredible really. Count Dooku was a beast too...

      Nah he was instructed to hold back initially, was surprised by Anakin and Obi wan, and was also just beginning to weaken due to age. Anakin knew how his rival fought and had almost every advantage in the fight whether he knew it or not.

      Maybe a younger Dooku. Anakin WAS draining his stamina; had they been closer in age Anakin might have still won, but it would have surely been a longer, more grueling duel

      @@Parocha I agree, but a younger Dooku might have more stamina, but lets be real hed be a less refined duelist. dooku's skill with a lightsaber isnt just about physical strength, its about decades of precision and technique. Take that experience away, and hes nowhere near the level of a pre prime anakin. Anakin's raw power, combined with his aggressive style, would still overwhelm a younger dooku, who'd lack the seasoned control that makes him formidable. In a duel, anakin's relentless offense would find every gap in a less experienced dooku's defense. Younger or not, Dooku wouldnt stand a chance.

      @@KyleWallPuncher hold back? Thats giving dooku way too much credit. Anakin didnt just win because of "advantages" he won because he was stronger, faster, and downright relentless. Sure, Dooku was aging, but anakin’s raw power and aggressive technique were overwhelming. Dooku underestimated him, and it cost him. This wasnt about surprise or age; it was about anakin’s sheer dominance. He was a force dooku couldnt keep up with, plain and simple.

    • @JohnGrove310
      @JohnGrove310 5 дней назад

      The thing is that he would be the best light saber duelist but his force abilities maybe not. When he lost his ability temporarily when losing to Obiwan, he had to tap into the force more than light saber. Even Sidious told him that a true sith relies on the force more than on a light saber. Sidious used them mostly to mock the Jedi

    • @clintonmorris7318
      @clintonmorris7318 День назад

      He said ANAKIN NOT VADER. Anakin WOULD HAVE been the most powerful IN FORCE ABILITIES AND THE LIGHT SABER. Even Sidious himself said that Darth Vader (who was still Anakin because he had not lost to Obiwan at that point) would be more powerful than Sidious himself AND Yoda. He would have been able to shoot red force lightning, with none able to stop it because it would be too powerful. That's just one example among many.

    • @dzbanek4971
      @dzbanek4971 Месяц назад +15

      This was never the case. Palpatine was simply testing Anakin, to see if he could defeat Dooku, which if he did, meant that he was much better candidate for an apprentice.
      Dooku never intended to let Anakin win.
      He was to anger him into using the dark side, as it was necessary for his transformation.

    • @darkscripterr
      @darkscripterr Месяц назад +6

      Let anakin win? Thats a reach. Dooku was confident, sure, but not reckless enough to throw the fight. If anything, he underestimated anakin’s power and paid for it. Palpatine might have hoped anakin would embrace the dark side, but anakin’s victory wasnt handed to him it was earned. He overpowered dooku fair and square, and that ‘icing on the cake’ was dooku realizing he couldnt keep up with anakin’s strength.

    • @TheJpf79
      @TheJpf79 Месяц назад +4

      @@darkscripterr Dooku had already tried to influence Obi Wan to his side. He was quite clearly in what we saw, trying to goad Anakin into using his anger and negative emotions, yet the common weakness of the sith, overconfidence, left him totally unprepared for when Anankin *did* use his anger. The plan as far as Dooku was concerned was to turn Anakin, Dooku had been manipulated by Palpatine from the start, Dooku was the known enemy force user at odds with the Jedi, all the grief was on him while Palpatine remained hidden, he always meant for Anakin to be his apprentice. The fact that Dooku is gone is what puts everything in place for the Emperors overall victory.

      Palpatine directed Dooku to hold back, and allow Anakin to work up his rage and anger. Read the book, Palpatine wanted Anakin to go full in at one hundred percent, while Dooku went in at only partial potential til he realized he’d been set up by palpatine. Reading the novel explains everything, and removes the need for these senseless debates on what actually happened

    Exactly! I referenced this fight as evidence of Anakin’s ascension. Someone countered, suggesting, because Palpatine and Dooku conspired to throw the fight, it wasn’t a clean win for Anakin. But as you point out, any pre-alignment is irrelevant. Dooku was completely overwhelmed. Anakin had arrived.

    • @darkscripterr
      @darkscripterr Месяц назад +1

      Dooku being "in on it" changes nothing about the outcome. Even if palpatine had plans, dooku was utterly outmatched. Anakin’s raw power and skill left dooku with no way out. This fight wasnt staged, it was a genuine display of anakin's ascension. dooku didn’t ‘let" anything happen he was simply overpowered. Anakin proved he was a force to be reckoned with, no schemes needed.

      @@Thesonof-sf3rr ??? When did George Lucas ever say Anakin is stronger than Vader? He simply said Vader has less potential, and yes, Vader actually does have multiple feats and statements putting him far above Anakin, I can name them if you want to

    This fight has no sense at all, Anakin is no way near a match for Count Dooku

    I do not hold anything against a person that has had so much wrong done to him.
    There will always be the turmoil of justice unrealized.
    Judges these days never take the level of abuse into account, and simply mete out more abuse.
    That’s not Justice. That it retribution.
