Why wouldn't "zone" Anakin be able to defend against Dooku's force attacks? We see him defend against them during their battle on tatooine, while he wasn't in "the zone".
Good point S66! We Anakin battle Dooku to a stalemate during this confrontation, even as Dooku begins the battle with a FL attack. I must have forgot.

I wuldnt really call that a stalemate, unless Anakin being dropped on his ass 3 times is considered stalemating..
The one time Anakin dropped Dooku was PIS, cause Dooku was still holding his hologram, so was obviously taken by surprise.
Also the 3rd time Dooku puts Anakin on the floor he doesn't take a good oppurtunity to kill him, but instead gets out his hologram to gloat.

He never once defended against Force attacks, unless dropping to the floor and losing his weapon is considered defending.(Except blocking the FL, but he seemed to struggle to even do that, and that was Dooku shooting one handed!)
Also how do we know he wasn't in the zone in that fight?? Considering later on he has trouble taking Ventress whose no match for Dooku. In fact he loses to Ventress in a cut scene from the same movie!
Originally posted by DARTH POWERLikely so. Personally, I don't think Palpatine would have been able to defeat Dooku as easily as Anakin did. Remember, Dooku was able to give Yoda himself (the same fella Palpatine tried running away from to avoid a conflict) a very good fight. /shrug.
Yes but you must admit anyone that can make Count Dooku's power rendered useless should be capable of competing with Sidious right??
Originally posted by DARTH POWER...Which would still mean that Dooku's force powers were rendered useless against Anakin. Like I said before: with a lightsaber, RotS Anakin was nigh-unbeatable. 😉
Even when the novel states Dooku's knowledge of the Force is useless, it could be because Dooku was not getting a chance anymore at this point in the fight to use his superior command of the Force.

The good Count also seems to be relying on MagnaGuards against Anakin in TCW's season 4 trailer. I hope not. 😖
This series seems to be show that the good guys are vastly superior to teh villians at every turn. I wouldn't be surprised if Anakin putting Dooku on his ass in the movie wasn't legitimate.

OMG! If thats true then between that and the CW movie fight, It makes one wonder what on earth made Dooku think he could take on both Obi-Wan and Anakin by ROTS.
Also makes Anakin's statement "My powers have doubled since the last time we met count" seem a bit strange..

Well Savge Opress might change that at least. Also Ventress has been pretty bad ass of late.

Well if this and the needing magnaguards is true, then there would be no doubt Dooku could not copy Savage's feat against the Obi-Wan/Anakin duo
