Count Dooku and ROTS Sidious vs Mace Windu and ROTS Anakin

1st Round : Lightsabers
2nd Round : Force only
3rd Round : All powers.

Who wins?

Assuming Anakin keeps his head on properly right? Bah, Sidious and Dooku win anyways.

1. Anakin and Mace. Anakin has betetr saber skills than Dooku, that's why he ebat him in ROTS, and Dooku got tired. Mace's saber skills are at least even with Palpatine's.
2. Palpatine and Dooku by far. Palpatine's Force skills beat any one's from the movies except maybe Yoda's. Mace is a few notches below him and even Dooku is a notch above Mace. ROTS Anakin is, at best, even with Mace in Force powers.
3. Anything goes? Hmm... then Palpatine beats Mace while Dooku and Anakin duel. Eitehr Dooku whips out some Force powers and takes out Anakin or Anakin outduels him, kills him and then gets beaten by Sidious. So either way Sidious and Dooku win this one.

1. Dooku and Sidious, Dooku will surely want to duel with Mace Windu. The fight will last for an eternity with no real winner probably. Palpatine however will take out Anakin pretty fast, and then go and help Dooku beat Mace.

2. Palpatine and Dooku, they use the Dark Side. Dark Siders are always better in using the force for offensive moves then lightsiders and neither Mace nor Anakin has shown the ability to block lightning with the force, they will be fried pretty fast.

3. Again Dooku and Palps, they are better with a lightsaber and with the force.

Anakin is the weakest link in this situation while Mace is a better duelist than Sidious and equal to or better than Dooku.

This fight won't last very long. Dooku or Palpatine could cluster**** Anakin within a few seconds and then Mace dies shortly after.

I dunno, if the fight on The Invinsible Hand was legit...

Well, Dooku was set up and he also allowed Anakin to gain too much confidence. But Dooku or Sidious would be able to wipe Skywalker out via the force.

Just look at Kenobi, Dooku effortlessly levitating him and then tossed him across the room...

Anakin is greater than Kenobi. Heck, even in his blind, grief-overwhelmed state, he still manages to stalemate Kenobi in a force fight and keep him on the defensive the whole time on Mustafar. He even lands a couple kicks in.

What? They're basically equal in terms of power, perhaps with Anakin being slightly better. But Kenobi was far more intelligent.

If Dooku wanted both of them dead, neither would have left the Invisible Hand alive...

That seems like the logical conclusion, given Dooku's background (power), but George Lucas said that Episode 3 we'll see Vader in his prime... Beating a jobbing old man and being sliced up by Obi-Luck Kenobi doesn't really show him in all his glory. I think the scene might have been there to show how powerful Anakin had become. But that makes no sense either, considering Obi-Wan was bantha fodder to Dooku.

meh

I think it's mainly Lucas' error. He messed up badly on the Sidious versus Jedi fight scene too.

But yeah, it makes little sense that Anakin would be able to beat Dooku, when we see that Dooku is arguably the best duelist in the PT era.

1. Anakin doesn't have better Saber skills.

Dooku wasn't putting his best out there for whatever reason.

2. I agree.

3. Meh, I think Dooku would lop off Anakins other arm while Sidious goes ape shit on Mace.

1st Round : Lightsabers
Anakin and Mace win. Mace defeated Sidious with only a lightsaber and Anakin defeated Dooku with just a lightsaber

2nd Round : Force only
Sidious and Dooku. Sidious was clearly faking his defeat by saying he was too weak and then explodes with this huge amount of energy and Dooku is clearly stronger in the force then Anakin considering he tossed Obi-Wan around like a doll and Obi-Wan was one of the best PT Jedi.

3rd Round : All powers.
Sidious and Dooku. They use the force to overwhelm Mace and Anakin during lightsaber combat.

What If it goes Sidious VS Anakin and then Dooku VS Mace?

That would just open the gate to the whole Dooku VS Mace subject, which is a very hot one.

Sorgo, according to The Anomaly, Lucas says on the ROTS dvd that Anakin won fair and square, and that he was a better duelist.

Do you have a quote of him saying that? Anyone got a MIDI file or something?

I'd be interested in hearing what Lucas said.

Can anyone confirm that? I am interested as well.

I think it's stupid really. I can't see how Anakin could take Dooku without Dooku being limbless and blind...

He couldn't...

Dooku is a match in saber skill for even Yoda. Are you saying that Yoda would lose to Anakin?
