Luke in sabers/all-out.

I don't know that he could beat Dooku in a 'Force-off', though. His Force powers in that era haven't really been expanded on much.

CriticalShaft Disagree - you're wrong

Why would Luke win in sabers? ROTJ Luke was barely trained.

I'd say Dooku mid difficulty.

His fight with Vader?

CriticalShaft Disagree - you're wrong

Isn't it mostly accepted that Vader was fighting half-heartedly. Also, I'd say Dooku's an equal or slightly better duelist than Vader

Vader is definitely a superior duelist to Dooku in canon. I also think Luke trains with magma guards in one of the Star Wars comics for sometime.

CriticalShaft Disagree - you're wrong

Are comics canon?
Also, do you think Vader could have done as well as Dooku against Yoda?

That was Luke just after ANH, but yeah, he fought some Magnaguards. Didn't do too well against them back then, obviously.

The comics are 100% canon.

Vader is one of the greatest duelists of all time in canon. He’s listed as a better duelist than both Sidious and Dooku from a canon source. Luke besting him in ROTJ is a really good feat, even if Vader was conflicted. Luke should win this

lol show me where it says Vader is a better duelist than Sidious

I don’t have it but I’ve seen it posted on here several times before. I’m sure Galan007 can provide the source

Sidious lost to Mace and Yoda in straight up saber duel. Even against maul and savage he had to resort to his force powers to win. I’m not saying he’s a bad duelist, but what makes him such a formidable combatant are his force powers and abilities. So in canon, it’s not unreasonable to say that Vader is superior in lightsaber combat

Absolutely Everything You Need To Know lists Vader as the #1 red lightsaber duelist, with Palpatine at #2.

Oh man you had to ask. I think the book they are referring to also had Maul ranked above Dooku which I find laughable.

Matt Martin has endorsed that list, so it is what it is.

I don't know who that is but you're right it is what it is.
