Originally posted by skywalker833thank you for realizing that. I was hoping i wouldn't have to point that out. 🙂
Actually, now that I think about it, in ep. 1 dooku was a jedi. So here's my new list:
1. Yoda
2. Mace Windu
3. Count Dooku
4. Obi-Wan Kenobi
5. Anakin Skywalker
6. Qui-Gon Jinn
7. Depa Billaba
8. Sora Bulq
9. Cin Drallig
10. Kit Fisto
That doesn't matter. The novel makes it clear that even after Dooku rejuvenated himself with the force, Anakin- when deciding to win- utterly decimated Dooku without fully using his power.
Oh, and Anakin > Obi-Wan in skill. He is capable of defeating or holding his own against multiple enemies stronger than what Obi-Wan is capable of dealing. Just because Obi-Wan can- and will- defeat Anakin a second time doesn't mean that he is necessarily better. Anakin is, in general, a superior swordsman and combatant.
Nah. Dooku, mid-combat (while fighting the duo, mind you), reasoned that, being in his situation (losing), he decided to go all-out and try to kill them. And when Anakin was owning him, Dooku realized that Sidious betrayed him and therefore logically fought for his life. He tried his best to kill Anakin, and failed. Anakin > Dooku.
According to the novelization, Count Dooku was aware that the situation had been engineered as a test. He knew that Palpatine was testing Skywalker's combat skills and his aptitude for the dark side, and he also knew that he was being tested to see if he was skilled enough to eventually take mastery for himself. What the Count wasn't aware of was that the "test" was actually a snare that would end in Dooku's death -- he actually believed, even if he failed to subdue Skywalker, Palpatine would save him.
