i give dooku that he is strong in the force and also good at dueling. but i he is kinda dumb. as i stated before he should of knew that sidiuos wanted to replace him. he is so weak were sidiuos is so strong at. and sidiuos is almost unarguebly better then dooku in the force. so what else does that leave? lightsaber combat. we know dooku is good at lightsaber combat. some people say that sidiuos is not good at lightsaber combat. why? when has sidiuos done something wrong in a lightsaber duel? he got attacked by 4 of the best lightsabers duelers and killed three of them. he was surprised by the attack and still did well. that is one posibility. the other is he knew of the atack and lost to mace on purpose. either way he is a good dueler.
Dooku would definetly kill Sidious in a Lightsaber and force fight. Although, yes, it would be a long and hard match, Dooku would come out ontop.
Dooku wasn't the Master because Sidious may not be as good with the Lightsaber and the force as Dooku, but Sidious' sneaky and manipulative persuasion techniques were unmatched.
Sidious was a Mastermind when it came to manipulating people and twisting them. Even someone so experienced as Dooku did not see Sidious' do this to him or Sidious' master plan. Dooku is proof that Sidious that almost manipulate anybody.
But if Sidious ever tried to strike Dooku down with a saber....
Sidious would meet his end.
I agree with Windu. Dooku would give sids a hell fight. And he might even come out on top. I mean he is much older, possibly just as wise. And is skills with a lightsaber are unquestionable. Dooku is not guaranteed true victory or ownage, but if he fights very wise and hard, no doubt he will become the next master.

You don't delve into things like you should. . . Dooku and Sidious are not yet on par. But what we ARE saying is that Dooku would give Sidious hell. Look at and read ALL the posts on this thread before you say things like that.
There were a couple people I noticed that said dooku would beat sidious so I had to correct that, your right though dooku is very powerful and it wouldnt be a walk in the park.
Kam. . . .that actually made sense! Good job.
And yes, I think that in a full-blown battle, Sidious would win. But he'd have to use the same tactics as he did against Yoda; retreating and blasting the enemy with Force powers and debris. If Dooku got Sidious into a saber duel, the Master would get owned. BUt as long as Sidious can stay a step ahead, he can win it.
