If you're causing problems, we have every right to silence you. We're not changing our policy just because you provide reasons (that only make sense to you) that we should. It just doesn't work that way.
And if Jam's going to nitpick at our policy, the only thing we need to change is put GL's word up there with the movies, therefore matching LFL's policy.
And you're still wrong, whether you care or not. 😐

As I said before, I am happy to let this drop, I'd hope you would do the same.
Have a pleasant weekend.
So I take it this thread has been corrupted/deviated from its original purpose being the discussion of Dooku's skill, to now being nothing more than a mudslinging, harrasement compaign.
Personally, since several people involved in the argument keep saying drop it then can you please B????y well do so, so that we can actually return to the original point of this discussion
Dooku's skill
And if that is the case, would it be possible then for some people reading this to actually take a second or two to give their opinion on now the thrice asked question of
GUI GON vs Darth MAUL who the better duelist
overlord all you do is troll. Not only have i seen it but i have talked to others that say you troll. And yet you never get in trouble. Now here is the real point this post.

"When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves - and only the films. Even novelizations are interpretations of the film, and while they are largely true to George Lucas' vision (he works quite closely with the novel authors), the method in which they are written does allow for some minor differences."
it says it right there that movies are the absolute cannon. It does not say Lucas is the absolute cannon. Ushgarak you were the one that made that whole post. Are you now going against what you posted as forum policy? Also restricting Darth Vious was stupid. Yes his Luke and Leia thing was annoying but he kept providing proof for his words and was debating properly. Nothing in the movie proved Anakin was a better swordsman. Yes he won. He won for several reasons. Dooku though if he lost Palpatine would step in to keep him from getting killed. No one fights their hardest when they have a safty net. That is basic psychology. The fight started on 2 on 1. 2 on one is likly to wear someone down but when it is 2 young vs 1 60 year old guy, the 60 year old will wear out faster. Dooku's arrogence throughout the duel. He taunted Anakin making him angry. When angry Anakin become physicly stronger. Anakin grabbed Dooku's arm to restrain his arm from being able to stop Anakin from chopping it off. Restraining a 60 year old man would be easy for just about anyone Anakin's age. Reason there is no proof that Anakin is not a better swordsman. He failed to land a blow on Dooku. He had to resort to grabbing Dooku's arms to win. Here is reasons as why Anakin is not better. First off you can not realy tell this from ROTS. So let's look at Dooku's fight against Yoda in AOTC. Dooku stalemated with Yoda is a contest of sabers.
Now if Anakin was better swordman then he would be better then Yoda. If you were to ask Lucas if Anakin was a better swordman then Yoda I bet Lucas would say no. Then so many are thinking Anakin is more powerful then dooku because of palpatine's line. My question to you is how you can trust the word of someone who has been lieing to everyone in entire galaxy for a long time. There is nothing in the movie that proves what Palpatine said was true. Yes he had the highest potential of anyone but he did not even come close to achieving his full potential. Even Lucas has said Anakin did not come close to reaching his full potential. At best in lightsaber skill Anakin is on par with him which puts Obi-Wan on par with him as well. But as for force control Dooku is way ahead of him. As to why Palpatine wanted Anakin as his apprentice over Dooku is simple, While at the time Anakin was not as powerful as Dooku, Palpatine knew of his high potential and knew if he trained him properly, Anakin would be Unstoppable. Do not forget how much Anakin trusted Palpatine. Something Palpatine had been working on for a long time. He wanted Anakin all along. Now all we are going to see on this thread anymore is pointless bickering. I am not a Dooku Fanboy. So don't go calling me one. I think this thread needs to be shut down because the debates are getting bad on both sides. The reason is cause everyone has said just about all their is say. While the Lucas and Anakin fans might think words from lucas of some secondary cannon script is proof enough. The rest of us are looking from what we saw in the movies and yes some have pointed out secondary cannon novel evidence. I myself am simply looking at what I saw in the movie. As the forum policy post says. The movies are the highest form of cannon. At least on this site.

Once again exactly right. Only Dooku was around 80 years old btw.
