It is bullshit in terms of a VS thread because "oh...it might be his lucky day" scenarios don't apply and you don't have the same circumstances as seen in the films. In a versus fight Han Solo armed with a piece of metal and blind would never be able to kill Boba Fett.
And I cant go by LOE cause I didn't read it, and the CW cartoons aren't as canonical as the movies. So I'm basing my statements off what the creator of Star Wars said. He didn't say that he knew not to kill Anakin, he said that he knew nothing. You're saying I'm pulling what I want out of that saying that he was meant to kill Anakin, yet You're doing the same thing stating that he knew not to kill Anakin. GL hasn't stated that.
LMAO. Show me were GL said that Dooku didn't receive the order not to kill Anakin. He doesn't say something like that. He just says that Dooku didn't know what Sidious was up to (letting Anakin kill Dooku) which was obvious. The other thing isn't contradicted. Period.
And if you want to base it off common sense...if Sidous wanted to "test" Anakin to see if he was strong enough to become his apprentice, then why the hell would he tell Dooku to HOLD BACK and NOT even be able to see Anakin's potential? Doesn't make sense. Sids doesn't like Anakin, he just thinks he can play him. If Dooku had won, then Sids lost nothing because obviously Anakin wouldn't have been worth it.
Notice how Lucas says Anakin prooved his strength by slaying Dooku. Not by defeating him in a lightsaber or force contest. Obviously Sidious wanted to test if he can turn Anakin to the Dark Side (will Anakin give into his anger, instead of following the Jedi rules) and not if Anakin is strong enough to defeat Dooku.
And common sense ? Anakin lost to Obi-Wan who got pwned by Dooku but Anakin is the better duellist ? Yeah, right. Maybe Anakin had his lucky day, maybe Dooku catched a bad day. Doesn't matter. See above.
Prove it.
Novels are NOT as canonical as the movies or GL's word...theres no point in arguing this. He never said Anakin wasnt meant to be killed.
Wake up. The statement from the novel that Dooku received order not to kill Anakin is not contradicted by the movies or GL's word. In fact the movie shows Dooku using a different style and it shows Dooku taunting Anakin to use the Dark Side which he wouldn't have done if he wanted to defeat Anakin.
