Dooku just exerted TK on the ground as he descended. You merely have to be powerful in the force and focused to achieve such a feat.
Dooku would probably be unable to do that if he got thrown down during a fight as he'd likely lack the focus to continually exert his tk on the ground and against his body.
And Mace was figthing for his life on Dantooine, he basically unleashed all his power and never held back as most Jedi tend to do.
He wasn't alone on Geonosis, plus he was trapped in an arena (limited space) with droids shooting him on all angles. You're also forgetting that he lost his lightsaber for majority of his one-man-army display on Dantooine and had to rely on the force alone to survive.
The difference between Geonosis and Dantooine is that on Dantooine he never held back and there was less on his mind e.g. having found out one of your best friends (Dooku) is involved with killing Jedi.
The movies also never show Mace taking on an army of battle droids by himself. So unless they did, I wouldn't be so quick to say his movie version couldn't do this or that (he's effectively the same character). Besides, I don't see why it should be outside the realm of possibility for a powerful force user, after all isn't the force capable of anything?
Nope, it isn't, a PT Jedi cant destroy a planet, Yoda had trouble holding that pillar failing on Obi and Anakin and Gl said in TPM documentary, something like this, Jedi are more negotiators, one on one fighters, they don't go blowing planets up, something like that. And isn't it logical to assume, that if there was 200 jedi in arena it would be even easier to defeat the hole army, because theirs more, so if theirs more Jedi, Mace doesn't fight as good ,as if he is alone, i think he would fight even harder if their was more Jedi involved, especially in the Arena, to save more Jedis life, as he was the best by far in that batlle.
Mace could never do anything near what he did on Dantioone, there's no reason that he'd fight betetr alone that with other Jedi, plus he was unarmed, if he could really do all that without a lightsaber then He'd have taken out those 4 SBD's that first fired at him with a wave of his blade, and then take out Jango with another wave of his blade, and then pwn all the droids in the arena by himself. If he could really do that he would have even brought any otehr Jedi with him to Geonosis and there would have been a LOT less casulties.
As far as Force Flight goes, it is bs, if Dooku could really do that then why couldn't Palpatine lift himself up out of the Death Star's reactor core that Vader tossed him down? Why did Vader almost die when he was riding on the lava and went over that waterfall, why didn't he just fly? Why did Mace die when he fell out of Palpatine's window and why didn't Yoda levitate back up at the end of his fight with Sidious when he was hanging on to the Podium by his fingertips? No, Dooku couldn't really do that, and if Palpatine and Yoda couldn't then I doubt msot other people could, possibly like NJO Luke, DE Sidious, Jacen, Kol, maybe a couple others but that's it and those are maybes.

I completely agree.
Originally posted by Count MakashiI think Anakin & Obiwan already know how powerful he was. But he want to let Asajj to know how powerful he was. Also, the height where he jumped is much shorter than that in CW. Also, he didn't use doesn't mean he didn't know how to use.
No its not, why didn't he levitate down in ROTS, when he did a sumer salt from the balcony, where Palpatine was imprisoned, yo show of, to let them know how powerful he was.
