Obi wan and Anakin vs. Count Dooku......

How well would anakin and obi wan have fared if they had faced dooku at the same time, instead of one at a time?

I think the match would have lasted longer, but the outcome would probably have been the same, you're coming up with some pretty good topics Rogue Jedi.

hey, i try. i agree with you. dooku was a superb swordsman. it would have taken longer, as you stated, but he would have won anyway.

I suspect that Anakin is NOT a very good swordfighting partner anyway. Might have gotten in Ob-Wan's way.

think they would have been able to do serious damage... if Anakin could manage his anger..

in the 3rd, its going to be Anakin alone who kills Duku or maybe Sideus will jump in and help and make Anakin believe he is the good side to be on.

I think we would have seen the same results, if they had worked together. At this point, Anakins Self Confidence is at a higher level then his Sword Play. We know this as Obi Wan eludes to him needing more dueling practice and less wit, when they are chasing Zam in the speeders.

i agree with ush. if anakin were more in control, they would have had a chance. but fighting alongside eachother as a team? anakin would probably be too aggresive.

Now that would have been a good duel. George probably thought of that, but told himself he'd already used that in TPM.

still, you wonder how it would have played out.

I dont think dooku gets killed by anakin , i think dooku trains him. Its clear that vader fights like dooku. Heres proof , in ESB when luke confronts vader. Vader uses one arm to fight , ala the fencing style of dooku , it looks very similiar. I really believe that dooku teaches anakin to fight , and sidious teaches him the philosophy and history of the sith. i bet dooku trys to protect anakin from obi , but obi kills dooku fast. Or yoda could kill him ahhah.

the OT fights are based on swordfights
while the PT fights have a mix "from eppee to kendo" like Gillard said

The OT fights are based on very little, really... but Vader's fighting style in ESB is about as UTTERLY differerent from Dooku's as can be reasonably imagined! He didn't make a single fencing move in the whole fight! It was an inelegant power style!

Yes aided by flying objects, cool thing though he uses only one hand in the begining of the ESB fight

anakin just needs a massage. a little bit of stress relief could do him well.

I think that compared to the way he fought in Ep1, Obi-wan's defeat by Dooku was too easy. He already proved he can do better than that, both he and Anakin made rookie mistakes leting their guard down like that.
Anyway, two against one is hardly fair whatever the adversary, I thougt Jedi were suposed to be these galant honorable Knights, always figthing fair no tricks etc...

a jedi's strenght flows from the force

There is oinly so much they can do and use though, look at Qui gon when he first faced Maul, he was buggered.

Qui-gon was more of a thinker and less of a fighter, more priest less warrior. The real reason is that Lucas wanted the grand finalé to be with YODA wich sucks big time because at no time could Yoda reach Dooku with that tiny light saber. It´s just ridiculous. Ok, Yoda is a great swordsman, NOT OK he doesn´t have a great sword?? It´s like an uncle playing pirates with his nephew with a stick, the kid keeps wavering it around and the grownup is just meeting his moves without any danger (except if he hits you in the b****)
Also, wouldn´t it be easier to move Obi-wan and Anakin instead of that heavy column??
