My Episode III prophecy....

and I didnt write that either 🙄

no, wrote that for others 😄

Lauren, that's nonsense; how on Earth can it be default that Yoda is better than Dooku when the two were shown as equals? What a silly comment! It's the default thing to think that Dooku left the Order after Maul died because of the dates we have, as in we have something that shows it even though it was not on film. We have NOTHING that makes us think that Yoda is better than Dooku, doubly so as they are even declared evens in Force power!

Anyway, maybe they will suspect Dooku but I think the idea is that it is just too unthinkable. No-one would think that such an old Jedi could become an Apprentice. They are looking for a younger man. Unless they are looking fo the Master, the timescale of which rules out Dooku.

I said why just afterwards. Too young to be the new apprentice. WE know he is but it probably seems absurd.

Ten years ago almost certainly means after Naboo, though, definitely as just 9 OR 10 years was specified.

Oh I know it's not CERTAIN with what we have, but it's very probable.

Yes, he would have to be seduced very fast. The rumour always was that he deliberately switched sides by seeking out the Sith after QGJ died.

the more I think about it the more I think he was seduced to leave, maybe what you said Ush that he deliberately sought out the Siths, but it will make Palpetine look much stronger if he was able to seduce him away from the Jedi Order. (Imho)

It would certainly have been nice to have known more. Did Dooku start out with Anakin-like reform intentions that got twisted? Or was he getting dodgy anyway?

I can imagine him being arrogant, maybe because he chose the old style of fighting making him feel inferior to the rest.

Perhaps Dooku didn't turn Sith until after he learned.

Ush, every single time you feel yourself getting very upset like you just did about something very insignificant repeat this to yourself: IT'S JUST A MOVIE!!!!!!!

And it was not a silly comment. There is no evidence that Dooku and Yoda were equals. While there is no evidence movie-wise that Yoda bested Dooku, all of the statements about it from viable sources have stated that Yoda was winning and Dooku was trying to escape.

which sources?

and again... NO! Look at the movie please! Yoda wasn't winning and Dookus only thing he wanted to do was getting away to his master, not stalling while republic troops got closer

In my opinion Yoda looked the best in the battle, but as Yers said Dooku was busy getting away with the DS plans

I respect that it is your opinion. I thionk otherwise, and I am speaking as someone who knows something about swordfighting so I am confident in that opinion, but that's all there is too it.

Lauren, stop getting hysterical. I wasn't getting upset, I just slap down bad argument and I do not expect to be criticised for that. There is plenty of evidence that Yoda and Dooku were equals- they are DECLARED equals in the Force and Yoda didn't beat him now, did he? So the only default way to think is that they are equals. You have the OPINION that Yoda is superior- which you are entitled to- but what was silly was saying that that was the default way to think when it absolutely is not.

only one on the forum with good knowledge, I think...perhaps zereil...

oh really, and what do you know about that?

not much about him, although he did posted a pic with him holding a sword
