Well, there are a lot of rumours going around Mech Vader having the ability to force lightning or not. A lot of people believed that Vader COULD use force lightning but never did because he was wearing a robotic suit, and if he did use force lightning, it would probably have an adverse effect on the only thing that keeps him alive. That was probably why when the emperor zapped him when he threw him into the core reactor, there was no way he could survive.
In ESB Luke was out fought with class and experience by Vader..
In ROTJ Luke bought Vader by using the Darkside a bit with the same unrefined mad slashing style that Vader had circa ESB plus the culmination of his new and only recent and not time tested-sunk in experience too...against a vastly physically disadvantaged and non-force-lightning using Vader..... Yup I concurr, that that given the force lightning effect on Vader in ROTJ AND the fact that he only had the speed
craft advantage over Luke (Relatively inexperienced) that Dooku would've been like either:
(A)"Hello Vader..."(Force lightning) respirator-game over...
(B)"Hello Vader..."(Outclasses a slower less agile target)
"Heres your ass on a plate for you...Hmmm.. What a pussy....."
Two footnotes: I am aware that in my "Jar-Jar demise" thread that I depicted Vader using force lighting in it...
A: I didn't think too much back then about it being the stoner that I was back then.
B: Jar-Jar thoroughly deserved it anyways 😉
First off, this has been an amusing thread. Sadako, when I read your post I about died. I love the pic of Jar Jar, btw.
Second, if Luke's a fully trained Jedi I'm a bloody master. A few weeks with a decrepid old hobbit and successfully defeating a Hutt sure didn't make him a full Knight in my opinion. Note too that he didn't apparently master his emotions in either his trials nor at the end of the flick.
Third, Vader is sloooow. I don't care if he could Force Lightining the sun, his fighting style has grown weak with lack of use. Keep in mind that Vader was about the only visible Jedi/Sith of his time when episode IV begins, so naturally he hasn't fought anybody in a long time. And neither his Obi Wan, his only comfirmed movie Jedi kill (omitting the not-yet-out episode III) And seeing as ancient Obi Wan let himself die, more or less, kinda takes the air out of the kill.
And considering Vader let his son more or less whoop him speaks measures. You know, I completely forgot what this thread was about and just had to go recheck... alright, onto the point.
Count Dooku may have been old, but he was more human, and definately much more learned than Vader or Anakin. Even without use of Force powers I believe he could whoop at least Episodes VI thru VI Vader. I haven't as of yet seen Episode III so young Anakin may just get better. Who knows? But Vader definately loses this one.
