Count Dooku vs Luke Skywalker(ROTJ)

Who would win?

Going with the good count if only due to experience and Luke's lack of it.

Count Dookie

Dooku.

Dooku has a chance, but if Luke goes all-out like he did against Vader, he will batter down Dooku's defenses and beat him just like Anakin did.

The situation in which Luke beat Vader would never play out between Dooku and Luke. Luke was already emotionally unstable and Vader threatens to turn Leia, then Luke blows up.

Still, though, he was already winning the duel against Vader.

Nah I'd say they were pretty even until that point.

Dooku, but it's close.

Lightning is a big help to Dooku here imo.

Also I seem to recall that Luke only learned how to resist a Force Choke after RotJ.

no

Dooku kicks his ass.

Maybe you should try reading the novel, then.

Is everyone joking?

Count Dooku takes out ROTJ Luke in a few seconds. If that.

I must have not being paying attention, but I was under the impression that at some point the general consensus was that Vader wasn't trying his utmost to kill Luke during their fight on the Death Star.

Considering the sloppy slow moves we see in the original trilogy dooku will beat luke within seconds

Yeah, actually except for the barely canon novelisation, this is exactly the case. Vader is throwing the fight.

ROTJ Luke is said to be ROTJ Vader's equal and Dooku could never take out Vader in a few seconds.

Where was that stated?

Lucas confirms in the ROTJ audio commentary that Luke was only half trained and not good enough to take on Vader yet.
