3. https://i.imgur.com/trUVtkp.pngDooku seems to be gaining ground in the air, or at least maintaining it, despite the angle Opress striking it being directed quite downwards. It doesn't match up. The main indicator it being telekinesis, though, is the sound effect accompanying it, which is totally different to two lightsabers clashing, but rather is similar to one of the sound effects used for Force push:

d. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDTDCRmYM9Q&t=0m54sThe sound effect is overlapped with two lightsabers colliding, hence why it's hard to tell, since both happen simultaneously.
But, overall, it makes more sense than Savage doing something like this and never again showing such level of physical strength.
Compared to Savage utilizing telekinesis in conjecture with his Force attacks, which he consistently does throughout the fight.
Perhaps, fair enough. But we later see Savage managing to push Sidious back in a bladelock during their fight with Maul.
While Sidious was holding back, this is still impressive and I feel it's a valid feat of strength regardless, especially in ROTS when Mace gets ahold of Sidious and he's like; "FRACK FRACK FRACK FRACK FRACK".
But yeah, I guess this changes what I included in my Savage VS Kota video. I know there were a bunch of deleted scenes and animatics so it may have been recut since the final edit wasn't that good lol
Would actually really be interested in a fistfight between Anakin and Savage. Savage managed to drive both Kenobi and Skywalker back while debatably amped. I say this because it seems that the more he goes on in a fight, the more dangerous he becomes idk.
I wish we got a one on one duel with Anakin and Savage since one thing I agree with in Antoine's video is that we've never really seen Anakin fight a juggernaut like himself since he's always fought Dooku and Ventress. Bane isn't one of them however.
Oh yeah I heard that Exar Kun was able to put so much power behind his blows that he sent shockwaves out that could be heard/felt miles away. Wouldn't be surprised if Anakin using his full capacity against Dooku shook the entire warship lol.
