Perhaps he was 'charging'? Call me crazy, but the more rage you get. the more stronger in the darkside you are. Dooku's always been conflicted and probably still feels something akin to the light when fighting jedi. So using force lightning requires darkside and he just needed to generate it. That, or he was just wanting to have a little fun in testing his abilities.
It’s part of the Mentality of Makashi, the fencing form of lightsaber combat. The user moves with the least resistance conserving energy and being precise with attacks. Dooku using Lightning is part of that: a surgical strike that creates distance, harms the target’s nervous system, and tires them out.
@@PsychSoldier756Well, savage is not very strong in the force but has a lot of brute force. You can see that one good hit puts Dooku to the grownd, so he know's fighting him in hand to hand is gonna be to his disadvantage. Which leads to the conclusion to use force lightning against him as savage doesn't know how to counter it and also doesn't really know how to create a force sheild. Which makes him weak to force attacks.
Honestly, on pure technical ability, I think Obi-Wan was literally the best swordsman of his age, with the possible exception of Dooku (the last Dooku vs Anakin fight, he expected to lose as part of the grand plan, and in any case, Anakin beat him through brute force). He beat Maul as a Padawan, beat him repeatedly again and with Savage, he rinsed Ventress repeatedly, and he fought Vader four times, three in their respective prime, and absolutely destroyed him twice (the other time, he was 10 years rusty, mid-PTSD flashback, and running away). The last time, he held Vader - who was notably much, much more cautious that time - at bay for precisely long enough, smirked at Luke, then casually ascended to a higher plane of existence. Seriously, if he used two lightsabres all the time, he'd have been pretty much unbeatable.
@@TheFireHawk7 definitely, obviously kenobi doesn't have as much raw power as anakin yoda or windu, but his fundamentals tactics and skill with a lightsaber is way above anyone with his atonement to the force
can we just appreciate how much of a menace krell is? 4 hands, 2 double bladed lightsabers, and despite now betraying them, has the balls to say “you dare attack a JEDI?!”
it's interesting how distinctly different his saber style is then say grevious. Not only because of his twin double bladed lightsabers but the positioning and use of his extra arms is very different. Also before we start trashing on clone wars grevious I'm basically comparing him to 2008 grevious because that's the only one worth mentioning.
For someone who's trained in "lightsaber fencing" which is predominantly Aimed at 1v1 dueling, Dooku's ability to fight multiple opponents at once even while maimed is terrifying
And he was like 80 at that point . In his prime Anakin wouldn't have stood a chance . I know Dooku won against him like 8 times but still Anakin got the last laugh
The Ashoka Maul fight feels so much more real. It’s almost as if they animated a real fight between 2 people. I love the other duels but this one has way more realism to it!
@@jeremyfejedelem5061 There is. I think you can find it with BTS Maul vs Ahsoka fight. They even brought the original Maul fight stuntman from Phantom Menace for it, it was really cool.

@@dacianastilean-styles3895 It is the one time we seem him not toying with Anakin or Obi-Wan in the series. Most of the time he is holding back for whatever reason.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 indeed. His flawless integration of Ataru's acrobatics with his personal favourite Makashi technique really make it a beautiful fight
@@dacianastilean-styles3895 It's interesting because people have routinely said Dooku couldn't handle [insert name] because of their use of Form whatever and that he is too slow etc. People seem to think that one can be the Order's greatest duelist outside Yoda being being a slow, methodical fencer. The fact of the matter is that Dooku like any great combatant is going to switch up his approaches. Whats more is he was considered the greatest Jedi of his age, outside the ever present Yoda, and he only grew more powerful as a Sith. And yet people assume he is incapable of using the Force to augment his movement to the point of super-human? People make assumptions because we never really see Dooku at his best. He is consistently holding back during Clone Wars to the point of absurdity. He could have killed Anakin half a dozen times over in that period but didn't even when he was dueling at 50%. The closest we see his full potential is when he is fighting the Nightsisters, albeit in an highly degraded state being blinded and drugged, and the Obi Diah duel. And maybe when he easily overwhelms and disarms Ventress in a matter of 10 seconds after Savage went rogue.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 Precisely. Dooku is a god when it comes to duelling. Only Yoda and Sidious surpass him and only Mace equals him. He probably would have beaten Anakin in ROTS if Palps hadn't told him to go easy on Ani.
The thing is krell knew the clones would attack. The reason many jedi died was because they were caught completely off guard and usually also had to deal with droids firing on them too
The fact that Maul is in all of the Top 3 fights just shows how good and cool of a character he’s become through Clone Wars especially that he knew about the future the Jedi just needed to listen…
They both have their appeals. Sidious vs Maul and Savage is more entertaining to watch purely for fight value just because of how powerful Sidious is and how he just steamrolls the two Savage and Maul. The Ahsoka vs Maul fight though is a lot more personal and, imo, holds a lot more personal stakes and power due to how grounded and guttural it feels
@@maxii6254 After warching I can say I agree. Sidious really was just playing with them boys. It teally isn't even funny when you watch and finally realize just how outmatched they really are.
@@shoopledeboople7048 thats what i didnt like, being too realistic isnt good id rather have an imaginative way of finding as long as it still sticks with star wars realism. other fights like obiwan and anakin vs dooku is far better in choreography
Sidious was on another level because of him using the force to enhance his reflexes and moves using a lightsaber but my god, even knowing that and seeing him do it was still surprise because of how quick he was.
He had mastered all 7 forms of lightsaber combat and he literally trained maul. He know exactly how he fought. He was literally playing around in that fight as if that was the most fun he had had in a while. Truly a beast
Gotta love how dooku just keeps blasting savage with force lightning, like he isn't even trying to hide what hes doing, savage just keeps letting it happen
Barris was a fool to try and fight Anakin as one he was one of the greatest duelist at the time and two he was angry BC of what was happening with Ashoka.
The fact that Savage is involved in four out of ten fights shows what a monster he was. If he had been able to finish his education, he would definitely be one of the strongest characters. Whoever came up with the idea of letting him die so early, it's a shame
Totally agree, I would have thrown some grevious in there. But so hard with all the amazing battles in the series, I love how they added some brutal, actually intense duels amongst all of the comic relief, politics, anakin romance, and simple missions. Will always be my favorite SW series
In the maul vs obi wan duel obi wan uses form 4 ataru while he usually uses form 3 soresu. I think they have fantastically animated the scene and i love the change in obi wans combat style
According to lore, dodging or blocking lightning attacks is very very hard to do, and let's face it, Savage as badass as he was he was still a learner.
The fact that half of those duels were Maul's and two were Dooku's, with Ventress in both of Dooku's duels and one of Maul's, shows how good at dueling they are. And how good Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka are, to have fought them and lived.
what i love the most is the distinct sound effects for each saber. mainly Savage's, Krell's, and Sideous's sabers all that the under lying growl but at different pitches so they are distinct. its superb.
For a padwan Barriss was so good. Anakin had to dip into his anger to apprehend her. I also think that was the dual that convinced Ashoka that she needed dual sabers. I would love to see her character again but in Live action, Ventress too. Looking at you Ashoka series.
She already had the dual sabers. Also, Tales of the Jedi shows that training to defend herself against the clones by Anakin’s orders was what motivated her to get the second one
7:32 “hey let’s run directly at the guy with swords that are as hot as the stars and can cut through steal like paper while I hold my weapon that’s meant for long range attacks.”
Ahsoka vs maul fight was impressive, but I think the talking BEFORE the fight made the scene good. My favourite has to be Savage and Maul vs Palpatine. It’s just amazing to see it.
The way I look at these battles, force telekinesis is far more powerful than lightsabres and if I were a Jedi I would not even pull my sabre and just toss them around constantly.
There are two things about that: In ESB, Yoda tells Luke Skywalker that the "Jedi's strength flows from the Force," and that the Force should be used for "knowledge and defense, never for attack." (also his confrontation with Vader in cave on Dagobah) Secondly, ancient sith preferred to use force and standard blades enchanted with dark side rituals as they believed lightsabers to be inferior and the switch happened only to level playing field with jedi
Small problem with that - only when one fighter greatly outweighed another in the Force could they do more than sucker punch them with the Force in a straight fight.
Obi wan vs savage and darth maul was amazing. That tactic of kicking savages leg until it was weakened enough. Shows how smart Jedi and Sith were when dealing with bulky stronger opponents
I'm kinda sad that the old republic era never got a show like TCW. The modern sith and jedi keep in mind, are still rediscovering lost power after a galactic dark age (and imo the rule of 2 actually handicapped the sith, despite majority opinion. The whole point of the infighting was to ensure survival of the fittest, but with only 2 sith, lots of knowledge is lost upon succession). The ancient Jedi and Sith were on a whole other level, imagine how crazy those duels would be.
This is why, in my opinion, animated will always be better than live-action. Maybe not in love stories, but if it’s got a lot of action sequences or magic or superpowers, you can do so much more in animation
That finisher from Sidious on Savage is, well... actually pretty savage indeed. He didn't even have to look at the guy, instead he wanted to watch his brother's reaction.
İt was Savage’s unprepared momment when obi cuts his arm off and sidius can easily force choke them both without any duel but he wanted to kill savage in front of maul to anger maul after overwhelming him while maul use his anger sidius showed him he is master of sith then make him beg to yourself for dont be tortured
2:52 can wejust appreciate the fact Anakin's lightsabers didn't burn him when blocking Barriss practically jumping onto him with her lightsabers? The sheer muscle bro put into that it made her look light asf
The thing with the krell fight the clones never managed to get to a point where their firepower became overwhelming, as that’s how they were trained to take down lightsaber users and you can see in order66 that’s often how they managed to kill so many Jedi, and it’s consistencies like that that just make the series so special
Palpy just casually obliterating 😂 i swear the only time i have actually seen him get owned in a fight where he not outnumbered was VS Starkiller and that's not even cannon now Sidious was a beast
Hot take but I think the top 2 should be switched. Both were amazing but I just loved seeing sidious in action and not him just using his force lightning
To be fair to the #1, the reason it's so iconic to so many is generally because that was actually mocapped by the GOAT Ray Parks himself. In case you don't know who that is, he was the actor for maul back in phantom menace. So to see not one, but TWO fan favorites propping up maul (Sam Whitwer too, might remember him from TFU games) we already knew it was gonna be awesome.
I love how Dooku's ultimate technique seems to be everyone forgetting his force lightning until he zaps them
Perhaps he was 'charging'? Call me crazy, but the more rage you get. the more stronger in the darkside you are. Dooku's always been conflicted and probably still feels something akin to the light when fighting jedi. So using force lightning requires darkside and he just needed to generate it.

If Savage Opress had time to hone his power, I believe he would’ve been crazy OP as during fits of rage you could see his potential in the force.
exactly!
I noticed that too. He would’ve been deadly. He was already a physically strong brute
for real remember when he killed them 2 jedi like it was nothing.
The fact the maul is in half of these shows you how good of a character and villain he was
Yooo what are you doing here
You know Darth Maul is one of, if not the best character in this show, when he always gets the best fights.
When you realize that if every Jedi fought like General Krell, then the Jedi Order might have had many more survivors.
The thing is krell knew the clones would attack. The reason many jedi died was because they were caught completely off guard and usually also had to deal with droids firing on them too
I think having 2 double lighsabers really helps with defence. Also the clones had a little bit of stormtrooper aim that day
Had to watch the 11:45 fight at 0.25 speed to fully understand and appreciate that choreography. Just incredible.

That finisher from Sidious on Savage is, well... actually pretty savage indeed. He didn't even have to look at the guy, instead he wanted to watch his brother's reaction.
you can see how unfocused Bariss was during her fight, because her force push was so weak.
Pri Visla standing toe to toe with Darth Freaking Maul is one of the coolest things done by a non force sensitive
The move anikin pulled on barris made him look like a god with the force
Can we all agree that maul had some of the best fight scenes
Very nice list, I agree with number 1 for sure.
Darth Maul is such a good character honestly. No wonder all the best fight scenes involve him.
2:07 explains why she's called Ventress
Very good rank list but id add here luminara and ahsoka vs ventress
Sidious is literally just there to have a little fun
I think Barriss deserves some respect. Despite only being a padawan, she challenged Anakin, one of the best duelists and held her own. Fair dues.
god the sounds of Sidious lightsabers are so awsome
16:16 he cut out the best part where maul goes 1 on 1 vs palaptine.
Dooku vs ventress and savage is basically dooku spamming lightning at savage
That second part of Obiwan and Galia vs maul and savage is the best single sequence of any duel imo
Dooku dominating every single,s time will never get old for me
In conclusion maul and savage are good against everyone except dual weilders
İt was Savage’s unprepared momment when obi cuts his arm off and sidius can easily force choke them both without any duel but he wanted to kill savage in front of maul to anger maul after overwhelming him while maul use his anger sidius showed him he is master of sith then make him beg to yourself for dont be tortured
2:52 can wejust appreciate the fact Anakin's lightsabers didn't burn him when blocking Barriss practically jumping onto him with her lightsabers? The sheer muscle bro put into that it made her look light asf
Clone wars was great. The best choreographed duels. Best shot and super dynamic
Dookus skills are practically unmatched. Oh, and btw, the fact that savage again and again fails to deflect force lightning is very hilarious lol
the number 1 battle is a hard agree i mean i watched that fight back to back to back and im still not tired of it
The fight with General Krell was what General Grievous should’ve looked like
Savage couldn’t catch a break😂 kept getting shocked and kicked in his knee
The thing with the krell fight the clones never managed to get to a point where their firepower became overwhelming, as that’s how they were trained to take down lightsaber users and you can see in order66 that’s often how they managed to kill so many Jedi, and it’s consistencies like that that just make the series so special
The fact that Barris lasted that long against Anakin is kinda crazy
and the fact she beat ahsoka... barris was crazy underrated, deserved way more screentime fr
“Muh strong wahman”
The only thing I think is missing imo is Ashoka running from the troops in coruscant while they’re all blasting at her with stun
Palpy just casually obliterating 😂
i swear the only time i have actually seen him get owned in a fight where he not outnumbered was VS Starkiller and that's not even cannon now
Sidious was a beast
savage was getting molested with that force lighting 💀 had me crying bru
I'm so thankful I got to see The Clone Wars back in 2008 when it came out.
Hot take but I think the top 2 should be switched. Both were amazing but I just loved seeing sidious in action and not him just using his force lightning
To be fair to the #1, the reason it's so iconic to so many is generally because that was actually mocapped by the GOAT Ray Parks himself. In case you don't know who that is, he was the actor for maul back in phantom menace. So to see not one, but TWO fan favorites propping up maul (Sam Whitwer too, might remember him from TFU games) we already knew it was gonna be awesome.
Obi Wan & Anakin and the Pikes vs Dooku would be top 5 for me
Man Sidious cackling while fighting Maul and Savage really denotes the skill gap between them.
Obi just handling savage and maul is crazy😭🔥
14:33 “Like you said: ‘Only the strongest… shall rule’”
Best last words possible
Thanks so much for this compilation. I love swtcw!
