^^Actually that stuff about Mace's Fighting Style and how he was able to overcome Palpatine's attacks including deflecting the lightning is described in detail in the official Novel.
And btw, all the lightsaber combat styles are force related not just simply a bunch of different moves.

Originally posted by overlordWell there are also the crystals inside the lightsaber(but thats EU so I'll just stop there) Also on Anakin's lightsaber he has some gadgets that make it look different and probably effect its power and dooku's lightsaber has that curve which gives him a completely different way to handle the lightsaber
Lightsabers are all the same except for colour, sorry to break the bubble.

There is no difference in color. Blue, green, red, it's all the same. It is the jedi with the lightsaber that has the power. Palapatine/Sidious used all of his power against Yoda that is why they both flew back. During Palps and Mace's fight Palps was purposely losing so it would look like he was being assasinated, and he had not fought at all. Dooku is not as powerful as Sidious, and his the level of intensity was much less in Attack of the Clones.
Fanboys are still saying this crap? Wow, it's just not true. Watch the damn movie, because in the ROTS that I watched, Sidious' face melted. According to you, he had it melt on purpose. Right. No, the reason that Mace was able to block the lightning so effectively and yoda could not was A) Mace was prepared for the attack, and thus able to block it with his saber rather than his hands (which I doubt he--or anyone other than Yoda--could have done), and B) Mace is a better duelist than Yoda. Less powerful in the force, more powerful with the saber. Anakin says as much in Episode 2.

Nope. Movies, official novels, and radio dramas are all cannon (in that order, when contradiction comes into play, IIRC). Cannon<>EU. You would obviously be right in saying that it's literature, but at the same time it warrants discussion in the context in the movie since, lets face it, movies are a pretty limited genre in their ability to convey the non-visual. You need the novels to fully understand the movies.
