Count Dooku & Droid Army vs. Sheev

Sidious' TK can't be blocked by a ray shield.

Yeah but maybe they could drop a few hundred thermal detonators in there or vent him into the warp core/space or whatever the ****.

This is getting pretty speculative. They're getting their hands on a rayshield that can withstand a few hundred thermal detonators and setting it all up in a week?

Why couldn't Sidious just tk the thermal detonators back over the shield back at them?

Dooku and GG are the leaders of a trillion-strong, intergalactic empire. They could probably set this up in a day.

Rayshields go from the floor to the ceiling. Theres no up to throw them over.

Suppose if Sidious started the fight trapped by a ray shield that he is sharing with hundreds of thermal detonators he would lose.

Woo.

That's the issue with giving extensive prep to people with almost unlimited resources.

Realistically though, Sidious wouldn't let himself get into such a position.. You actually need to just put him in it for the discussion to happen.

I suppose what happens now is I unload every instance of Sidious moving too fast for these characters to see, and you stick your fingers in your ears and scream "non-canon! lalalala", right?

Yeah, basically.

Even the new canon had Kanan perceiving blaster bolts in slow motion, barely moving his head to dodge multiple of them at once. However, that whole scene was shown to the audience in slow motion, so it's safe to say Kanan and the blaster bolts were moving a just little faster than snails.

Team easily.

This would also suggest that Kanan's reaction speed is beyond top of the chain council members, since he was able to dodge multiple blaster bolts just by moving his head slightly, whereas Tiin and Kolar couldn't even react to the speed of an old man.

Then again, as I said, that scene with Kanan was shown in slow motion, so perhaps they are equal in speed.

Exactly. That's why all Jedi and Sith have regular human speed. Because from the viewers perspective of the movies and animations they move that fast.

Shadow Conspiracy says nothing about Force Rage or Dark Rage (TPM novel clearly says Obi-Wan was using force rage for example, however Shadow Conspiracy says nothing about Maul's rage.) , even without rage amplification in the Novel, Maul managed to dodge from two attacks of Sidious in a one-on-one duel, with Dark Rage amplification in the canon TV show, (which gives you superior speed and strength for a while) he managed to kick Sidious's torso and make blade lock with him. Fisto managed to stay alive for a while, when Windu was helping him in a 2 v 1 in the book, in the canon movie he managed to deflect 3 attacks from Sidious. Dooku can certainly react to Sidious.

Not quite sure why people are failing to grasp that this wasn't the point I was trying to put forward. Sure, Dooku can react. He just won't be able to perceive - you know, with his eyes - Sidious clearly. Which gives Sidious a pretty obvious advantage.

Dooku must be pretty blind then.
