WTF? Dooku gets speed blitzed?
Funny I don't remember Dooku getting speed blitzed by Sidious's equal (Yoda). Nor do I remember Sidious speed blitzing Dooku's equal (Mace).
This forum has taken the whole speed blitzing thing way too far.

Great excuses.So tell me where's the proof that Sidious would blitz Dooku. Tell me who on Dooku's level has Sidious previously blitzed.
I don't think Dooku's getting blitzed either but those aren't really excuses. If Yoda was bloodlusted then perhaps his fight gets easier. I doubt it but it's possible.

My point was that wouldn't make sense if Yoda could just "blitz" Dooku. Because in that scenario he could easily just disarm Dooku without being overly violent/aggressive at all. In fact IF he could do that, it would be the least aggressive way to take down Dooku.

Yoda was holding back, and killing is much easier than disarming.
Fisto has similar speed feats, maybe faster tbh and he was blitzed.

What?
Firstly it's easier to chop off limbs than it is to kill. But granted, that's still pretty violent.
But if he could actually SPEED BLITZ Dooku, then of course it would be easy to chuck his weapon out of his hand, if Dooku "CAN'T EVEN SEE YODA MOVE." lol

LOL You comparing Fisto to Dooku now?

Yes, and Yoda didn't want to kill or maim him. He wanted a chance to talk, like they did in Dark Rendezvous. And the thing is he as blitzing Dooku, Dooku could barely keep up even though all Yoda was trying to do was disarm him.
And Fisto has better speed feats, and this is entirely a discussion about speed.

In script and novelization Yoda was clearly attacking Dooku in his vital body parts in both fights. In film Yoda had his talk and then he attacked Dooku, not other way around. Your claim that Yoda only tried to disarm Dooku is completely unsupported. Moreover, there is no reason for Yoda not to want to maim Dooku in the universe, where body parts are easily replaced with prosthetics.
Then please explain why he didn't once attack with the force, or why multiple sources state he was holding back.
Hell, he was even (according to the insider) being reckless against Dooku, putting himself at too much risk, as they say he couldn't dare risk going that speed against Palpatine who could easily counter and capitalise on those mistakes.

Firstly he did attack Dooku Once with the Force. A Force Lightning deflection aimed right at Dooku's face. Second he was assessing Dooku's power level and seeing if he had truly turned to the Darkside: "Powerful you have become Dooku.. Hmm the Dark Side I sense in you. "
Kindly post these Canon sources which state Yoda was holding back once they started clashing Sabers.
