Obi-Wan Kenobi is a shadow of his former self by the time of A New Hope, and Kenobi in his prime (Revenge of the Sith) gets anally destroyed by Dooku in telekinesis -- or, at least, is quite clearly the inferior in that regard.
Some believe Vader is inferior to Ben Kenobi in the Force by A New Hope, or at least not superior to any notable degree that it would be relevant in a combative scenario.
So given what was laid out, do you think the powerscaling would look somewhat like this: Dooku > RotS Kenobi > ANH Kenobi > Darth Vader in the Force? Actually, seeing as how the gap between Dooku and RotS Kenobi is likely decently large, and "shadow of his former self" implies a pretty large disparity in ability, it actual may look something like this: Dooku >> RotS Kenobi >> ANH Kenobi ~ ANH Vader.
Do you think Dooku can make Darth Vader as of A New Hope his ***** with the Force? Why or why not? And please, no trolling posts, as this is a very serious thread aimed at a legitimate discussion. Thank you.

ANH Kenobi>>Vader in the Force, did you not pay attention to the Force tiers in the previous thread?
Obviously Dooku>>ROTS Kenobi>>ANH Kenobi>>ANH Vader, or in simpler terms Dooku>>>>>>Vader
And this makes logical sense. Sure Vader has monstrous TK feats, and threw down with Galen who redirected a Star Destroyer, but that doesn't matter, because Riva Anu achieved the much greater feat of holding up a massive cruiser. With that in mind, Riva Anu is way inferior to any member of the Jedi council, some of whom are considerably beneath Obi-Wan, so again this continues to make sense. Especially when you consider that Dooku threw around several star destroyer sized ships casually, and was evenly matched with Yoda in a Force fight, who evenly matched Sidious, who in turn could solo an infinite army of Vaders.
So there's three lines of logic:
1. Dooku ragdolled ROTS Kenobi whose much more powerful than ANH Kenobi whose much more powerful than Vader
2. Vader's TK feats are only enough to match Galen who can only redirect one Star Destroyer with all of his effort, while Dooku can casually throw around several star destroyer sized ships at once. Vader is better suggested to be Sub-Riva Anu level, who doesn't even scratch Jedi Council level like Obi-Wan.
3. Dooku matched Yoda, proving he's near Yoda/Sidious level in the Force, which is enough to solo an infinite army of Vaders.
Thus, the obvious holistic intent is that Dooku shits on Vader in the Force so hard that if he had unlimited staminia he could solo an infinite army of Vaders.

I agree. Why disregard Rivi-Anu's feat as a retarded one-off in a retarded, exaggerated medium when we could use that one feat as the foundation of our desperate agendas?

The real question is why is Mundi such a dick? He's obviously more powerful than Rivi and is a member of the Jedi council, so since he scales significantly off of her, surely he could've actually succeeded in bolstering her efforts to the extent that they could move the star destroyer away from themselves or redirect it, but no, Mundi kept his republic cruiser holding up+ levels of power to himself and let Rivi die when obviously any council member of that era could've saved her.
I mean shit, he let Rivi Anu think he needed saving when he could've just held it up on his own most likely effectively enough to save both of their lives... which kinda makes me wonder why Rivi Anu is so stupid. Why is she so stupid? It's obvious that if that is her standard level of power and the council members are above her they hold access to telekinetic power greater than this at all times, so what kinda weird mental gymnastics did she have to do to convince herself Mundi was in danger if Mundi obviously has this level of telekinetic power?

The fact that you think a thread titled "Can Dooku Ragdoll Vader" has potential to be a serious thread, and that your answer depends on if it's canon or legends seriously worries me.

So much stupid in one thread. Dooku isn't stronger in the Force than Obi-Wan, he was just faster in that particular instance; Kenobi could have easily blocked it.
The real chain is:
RotS Kenobi >> ANH Kenobi >> Darth Vader >/= Count Dooku
As Sas said, your chain gets broken by the fact that the junior novel makes it oh-so-obvious that Obi-Wan could've stopped the Count's TK. It was just too sudden.
Yeah, you're probably right. Kenobi attempting to counter Dooku definitely means he would have successfully, it's just that my double standards are preventing me from really understanding that. I'm sorry, guys. I'll try better next time.
