b) Dark Side points would be earned. Why don't you go around and ask anyone. 'Killing' a person, especially when it's not in self defense, is a little thing called 'murder'. Murder is a sin, no matter how hard you color it up. And, even in the Star Wars universe, repetative use of such 'sins' can draw one closer to the Dark Side. Anakin gave into his anger and hatred for Count Dooku, and executed. So yes. It was indeed for Dark Side points. Dooku was simply too scared to attack Sidious, when the man was shackled to a damn chair. Color it up the way you like.
Facts:
a) Sidious wanted to turn Anakin to the Dark Side. Killing Count Dooku helped. FACT (!
It would look f*cking dumb on his part! He would have been alone and without no one if he killed Sidious! It isn't in Dooku's nature to kill an unarmed opponent. He isn't a True Sith! Sidious is the Sith Coward, NOT DOOKU! Dooku would not just run up to Palpatine and slash him. Then he wouldn't have Anakin as an apprentice. Anakin would have been like "WTF?!?! YOU KILLED TEH CHANCEY! CHANCEY ARE MEH FRIEND! HUZZAH!!!!!!!!"
It would have made Dooku look even worse to Anakin, whom he wanted as an apprentice. I am sure he didn't try to unlock his Anger for no reason. He was also talking of how Anakin had unatural powers in AOTC. He wanted him as an Apprentice after he tooled Palpsy.
b) If Dooku wanted to betray his master, he tried to turn Anakin, and something stopped him from laying waste to Sidious (if he even could) while he was shackled to the throne. FACT (!)
Such disgusting Arrogance! You're slapping your Opinion down as fact? I am a Fanboy and even I don't try to pull that bullshit.
c) Perhaps he could've blocked it. Or perhaps not. Yoda was NOT looking to kill Dooku, otherwise he would've chucked the pods back. You speak of Ianus and Nai. Hop on over and ASK Nai his theories on this fight.
Nai WILL come here, don't worry. And I can assure you, he will be against you on this one.
He didn't need to chuck the Pods back. But he did chuck the Lightning back! And he did grunt and scream while attempting to kill Dooku!
d) 'Moorings' are the things that connected the pods to the wall. They were also static, like Dooku's debris. Dooku struggled, and used both hands to rip the debris out. Sidious chucked pods that were THE SAME SIZE (notice I did NOT say weight) as if they were PAPERWADS. Now, at the same time. Let me ask you:
Give me proof that the debris was bigger. 🙂
No one said it was bigger. SHAZAM! 😛
I am sure if Sidious was Dooku's age, he would have struggled too.
And, even if they were. Let's see... Let's say that the debris WAS around 700 lbs. And the pods weighed each 500 lbs. There were three pods that Sidious chucked with ease, so 3 x 500 lbs is 1500 lbs compared to Dooku's 700 lbs debris, so Sidious not only potentially lifted MORE, but the heavier object. I have a hard time believing that his debris weighed more than ALL THREE pods put together. And again. Sidious chucked them WITH EASE.
Dooku had to lift the Machinery above the arching and then aim it directly at Yoda. It was directly behind Dooku and Dooku was on a straight base. Dooku had to turn around and aim it properly without a Down slope. Sidious had his pods almost directly above his head and did not have to aim them, but instead just pivoted them out of the wall and threw them in an akwardice positioning towards Yoda. Yoda was on the down slope. Because remember: Having the High Ground always helps, and as I recall, Sids had the high ground and Dooku and Yoda were equalized.
e) Well, again. ANYONE is CAPABLE OF DEFEATING THOSE WHO ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THEY ARE (!). Kenobi vs Anakin and Sidious vs Vader. So, even IF Dooku were stronger in the Force (which he's not), Sidious is STILL capable of killing him.
Indeed, but even if Sidious was stronger in the Force (Which he is not) Dooku is STILL capable of killing him.
f) Then have Ianus and Nai get involved. Both are extremely capable debators and certainly beyond myself. But, in the same token, I'll still argue against it until I see evidence or an EXTREMELY well put together opinion that can convince me otherwise. And -YOU- lack both.
I am not the only one Lacking things around here.
g) No. In fact, if I were to have any bias, I'd probably have a Kun, Ragnos, or Yoda bias before I would for Sidious. You'll find me 'cheering' for DE Sidious, who 'IS' powerful. Moreso than Yoda or Dooku (sorry if that offends you, but DE Sidious would hand Dooku's ass to him, but that's beside the point). And Sidious's intellect is among the most capable Star Wars characters. He's easily the greatest in the PT and OT.
That's great, but DE Sidious is just beyond comprehensible power. Besides, Dooku isn't alive in DE times. Sidious needed HELP from ancient Dark Lords ressurecting him to obtain this power. Damn, If Dooku had that same help, well.... Figure it out.
h) This isn't always the case. Traya ? Ragnos ? Revan ? Those three are just some of the few. If the apprentices ARE stronger, they will rip the mantle of Dark Lord from their masters. Which unfortunately, Dooku never did.
Traya's apprentices smashed her, Sidious' apprentice smashed him, Malak smashed Revan in the beginning, and Sidious smashed Plageius. It is a streak in the Sith to betray their Masters, more powerful or not. And as we see, all of the above succeeded. And not all of them were more powerful, but alot of them were, Like DOOKU!
i) If he were the more powerful Force user of the two, he would BE the more powerful SITH. More power does NOT mean more experience. If Dooku had more POWER, then Sidious's superior experience would be negated. Dooku does NOT have the title. So explain to me THAT.
No he wouldn't! Sidious was more intelligent and had a great Knowledge of the Dark side. Being the stronger Sith isn't "Force, Force and Force" Like you seem to think.
