If Ashoka and Ezra fended Sidious off it's just bad writing.. Ezra can't even beat the inquisitor without struggling, sidious should have easily defeated both if them...lol but that would have been the end of the show. But it's a kids show of course they're going to escape and beat the bad guy. They have a supposed Jedi killer like grevious losing to Ashoka who was a child.
Sidious is one of the best duelists in Star Wars canon, he stalemated yoda and IMO could have defeated windu but choose to fake a loss but that's up to debate. Force powers wise he again stalemated yoda.
They HAD IT though! ....Man I dunno why this really grates me, but it does(not that it shouldn't, but I feel it's moreso than it really should). It'd be like if Obi-Wan came back after his great sacrifice.
no, they should make a book about how dooku learns to become a force ghost like quigon, and then have him connect with yoda again to apologize for all he's ever done, to redeem him
They should give him the Maul treatment, have him show up with robot crab hands and get beaten up by Chopper and punked by a blindfolded Ezra. Maybe pratfall a few times.
In the final fight with Ahsoka he just dies of a heart attack and shits himself.

aww...
That would've been believable of Dooku had it happened by Dark Rendezvous; Dooku being sorry for committing mas genocide and countless assassinations is kinda hard to believe otherwise.
Maybe Yoda still sensed some good in him, hence explaining why he exclaimed "Skywalker, no!" right before Anakin beheaded him in that TCW vision despite expressing intentions to kill the two sith right before arriving.
A force ghost Dooku could be interesting though...
Dooku has too much class to die like that.

Even in the new canon Dooku was slapping Anakin around a lot of the time, he was obviously a superior duelist and force user.
I think his loss to Anakin should be attributed to the boomerang affect the stunting Sith do can have (forgot the proper term. We saw how Luke beat Vader after Vader taunted him about Leai and Obi Wan was close to overwhelming Maul to it. Basically the Sith taunt their opponents to cause fear and demoralize them, ut can cause them to lose focus etc. but in certain instances such as Ive mentioned it'll backfire and the opponent will become enraged and attack even more ferociously.

In canon, yes, I'd definitely attribute his defeat to his failed use of Dun Moch, as well as pissing him off by incapacitating Obi Wan more than anything.
The RotS novel favors Dooku less, but factors like him counting on Sheev to save him, his overconfidence, and the jedi's fake stances at the beginning also contributed.

I agree, I don't think that anakins light saber style should have contributed that much, Dooku could have called upon the force as well to make himself physically more powerful.
Remember how he kicked Anakin against the wall? If anything Anakins tapping into the darkside should be the winning factor
