As Faunus has pointed out: It makes it seem as if Dooku was somehow hard pressed in the fight up to that point, which doesn't make sense, considering his demonstrated superiority with the force, which enabled him to floor Anakin twice.
And notice how you stated that Anakin "won" the lightsaber battle when said "win" was done against an opponent who clearly wasn't focusing on that kind of fight any longer.
Besides, take a damn good look at what the Clone Wars series has done to the Separatists.Ahsoka takes out three Magnaguards, Kit Fisto defeats General Grievous, Ahsoka takes on Grievous, Ahsoka and Luminara take on Asajj and drive her off, Dooku is disarmed by a couple of pirates. Not only is the Confederacy made to look inept and unsympathetic, but relative to their Jedi rivals, they're made to look very weak.
The series is a f*cking joke.
I just have seen the first 13 Episodes yet, and I can't believe the stuff they have come up with. Fisto defeating Grievous is okay (Notice: Dooku mentions that Grievous would have a hard time dealing with Council members if he can't ambush them in LoE). But some of the other stuff. Grievous, the supposed tactical genious, making devastating tactical mistakes and getting owned in almost any military confrontation is pretty laughable.
Yoda...totally hyped in the first Episode where he pretty much singlehandly destroys an entire batallion of Ventress forces and force pwns her completely. I mean - WTF - he immobilizes her, disarms her and then just force pushes her weapons back in her hands. Lmao.
Dooku. Oh my God. I just wanted to throw up when he was captured by that pirates. But Anakin and Obi-Wan managed to even screw up worse than that, when they get knocked out by nipping on a single drink. Stupidity incarnated [only topped by their following attempts to escape from that situation].
I just liked the Episode focusing on the Clones...but then. That also made Rex and Cody look like freaing superhumans. Especially Cody's aiming and reflexes. Monster pops up behind him - shot right into the eye. He repeats that one in a later episode.
Don't complain about Yoda's episode. That whole thing was badass personified. Best exchange in the whole of the mythos!
Ventress: "I'm not afraid of you!
Yoda: "Strong you are in the dark side." [looks at her and smiles] "But not that strong."
He proceeds to casually disarm her and then offers her back his weapons. The sheer contempt he shoes for her as a combatant is priceless.

Well...
Don't get me wrong. I loved the action [and yes...that exchange was awesome]. But those droids just act even more stupid than in the movies in certain situations. Like when the one drives that tank into the "trees" there. Or the one that talks to Ventress when Yoda is just owning the entire squad and that gets actually cut into pieces while he keeps talking. Oh my god. I laughed - but then again I found that quite disgusting.
Especially when you consider the other displays of utter stupidity on the CIS site. One actually has to wonder how that war went on for more than a couple of days...

No, you wouldn't. I'd revamp the majority of it. There were many great ideas that were poorly executed.
Palpatine's resurrection, along with the overwhelming majority of post-RotJ material, is retarded. Katarn is cool though, he may live. TCW is abominable, the CWC, while awesome, does not fit into canon very easily, pretty much all of TPM was forgettable except for Qui-Gon and Maul - who both ended up being wasted anyway - and AotC was only serviceable because of Portman, Fett - again, wasted - and a few good action scenes.
Traviss is ridiculous.
