Sidious could take it, the only wild card here would be Anakin and he'd have to tap into Zonakin in order to get the job done; Sid would normally let the fight drag out but because he knows all about Anakin potential i could see him trying to finish this fight quickly. Bottom line is Dooku and Obi Wan get dropped easier than Maul/Savage and Anakin might be able to beat Sidious so long as he can keep the others alive long enough to help
Dooku goes down almost as easily as Obi Wan does. Or did you miss the part where Sidious casually chokes Dooku out from half a galaxy away?
Dooku is clearly afraid of Sidious; he'd die quickly, great swordsman or not; hell Savage and Ventress gave him a hard time... the guy got bested by pirates for fck sake

Lmao I'm sick of this argument. Dooku never had his force defenses up, he wasn't expecting an attack.

It's pretty consistent going by other showings tbh. Besides most Force Chokes & Ragdollings happen when the opponent is caught off guard.

It would only be worse if Palpatine can just overpower him again.

Originally posted by Darth ThorSo Dooku is going to fight his master without the intent to over-throw him and expect everything to go well later? Obviously Dooku knows he's not powerful enough to win against Palpatine so why shouldn't he just roll with the punches and continue on rather than try to be a tough-guy by resisting his master's hand and being severely reprimanded, or worse, later on?

We saw what happened in the new Vader comic when he let his emotions and testosterone supersede whatever little logic he had by attacking Sidious. Dooku isn't an idiot.
It's not a question of can Dooku win against Palpatine but one of can he not get rag-dolled. Using the force choke feat as an indication of yes he can be rag-dolled in a combat setting is completely out of context.
