If Palpatine foresaw Anakin's crippling, would he have kept Dooku as his Apprentice?

^?

I doubt that. With an dead Dooku, he could win the war faster.
Also, Vader>Tyranus.

Vader was still stronger than Tyranus.

But has Sidious also forsaw that, in this scenario?

That depends. He'd probably research ways to keep Anakin alive at the minimum, instead of just discarding him because of a Vision.

Maul's survival and resurgence is said to have been what motivated Sidious to save Vader as a result of Mustafar. So no I don't think he'd have been discarded.

He would have ditched both in favor of Kenobi

Sam Witwer again?

It would have been nice to have a newly suited up Vader to fight a clone of Dooku or something to prove himself worthy.

He abandoned the rule of two anyway, so why not?

Quite, he's a darling isn't he?

Had Sidious seen a vision showing Anakin's crippling, I doubt he would've sent him to Mustafar in the first place.

But had he just concluded that there was no way to avoid it, he might've taken measures to ensure he'd still become very powerful, or something like that. I doubt he would've just ignored it, tbh.

By account of being a terrible voice actor and an even worse screen actor?

No, Vader was still superior to Dooku.

Vader might be superior or inferior to Dooku, doesn't matter at all. Anakin did his job, something that Dooku could be unable to do - due to the fact, that knightfall!Anakin was more powerful and was a war hero - it wouldn't be right, if Dooku would led the attack on the Temple.

I still don't understand why Palpatine decided to continue the Rule of Two. As he said to Yoda, pre-Mustafar Vader would become more powerful then him. Dooku at that point, would be usefull at least as a chain for Anakin. Dooku would not betray Sidious, coz he could only decide whos servant he will be. And he wouldn't choose Anakin, that's obvious.
What happens on Mustafar, was good for Sidious. Vader couldn't overthrown him, and was powerful enough to keep their Empire safe.

Why would he go for the significantly inferior Dooku?

Nice performance, got more? I get it though, you're jealous of his chiseled jaw line. 🙂

cyborg Vader was still way beyond Tyranus in Force and duelling abilities.

Dooku was already too old, so Sidious probably wouldn't have kept Dooku.
