They seem loathe to move people like that in the films. Maybe there is a problem with doing any more than just knocking them over, I dunno.
QGJ happened to be a very fine fighter, if you ask me! His moves were exquisite, not like Obi-Wan's in TPM.
And Jedi play to win as all guardians of the law must do- there is no point in them giving bad guys more chances than need be, they are professionals. If they xan do a two on one, they should.
That's not my point, my point is only that they did not fight to what we would expect to be their ultimate abbilities in order to give room for YODA. I didn't mind that they couldn't defeat Dooku, together or alone, and the best part of the fight is when Anakin fights with two light sabers. What I mind is that they lost so fast. Qui-gon fought bravely and well, but even his fight was huge in comparison
Actually Obi and Anakin still have no chance even if they would have worked together properly, which is impossible as it stands. Dooku fought with an offensive lightsaber style, since he knew of 4 offensive styles that have been lost through time. These styles were common during the Sith wars. Just looking at his lightsaber hilt alone will show that it was made for an offensive style, it has a bend made in it specifically for one handed combat, which means to kill. As most will agree the jedi fought in a defensive manner, while the sith always offensive.

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.
Sorry but that is impossible as there can only be a sith master and apprentice...maul and sidious..dooku and sidious..vader and sidious..dooku cant train sidious and it all works out in a way that vader becomes sidious's apprentice in ANH. Anakin kills dooku in EPIII hence becoming Darth Vader and sidious's NEW apprentice...case closed
DAMN IM GOOD CAN YA FEEL IT HA HA! 💃 💃

I agree with dis guy. The sith are trained killers. And I'm pretty sure they fight more saber wielders than the good guys.
about the 4 offensive styles and sith wars that is EU and has no ground in the cannonical films. About jedis fighting in a defensive matter, actually in all 3 combats Dooku fought only the one he fought offensivly was against Obi Wan. Both Anakin and Yoda was the offensive fighters in their saber duels
Actually finti my information comes straight from books, and if you use only the movies for information then you will be half-assed all the time. I can prove this just showing you the timeline in the movies. Remember when Han landed the Falcon in the asteroid? Well in the movie they make it seem like it was only a few minutes in there, but in the BOOKS they spent around 2weeks inside it. The reason the movie didn't spend that much time on it was because the director of the movie made it into an action movie since he was forced to, because honestly they had no idea how popular star wars was going to be.
Expanded Universe- basically any thing not from the films. EU is 'not canon', which is to say it is not part of the official storyline (and this is according to Lucasfilm itself), so you cannot use it as source material to try and prove points about things here. EU goes in the dedicated section we have on the boards for it, where you can discuss things inside its own continuity.
Incidentally, Grifta, I have no idea why you thought they did not think ESB would be big. Everyone KNEW it would be massive! It was only the first film that no-one was sure about.
i remember the hype that summer. my mom took me and my friend to see it. i dressed like luke on tattooine. i put on my moms karate shirt, her tan stretch pants, and wrapped ace bandages around my calves. i wore my dads brown leather belt and he made me a lightsaber handle made out of wood. i was the shiznit!!!!!
Thats right EU cant be used arguing a point about the films, it is using the EU stuff that will leave you half assed all the time. SW is Lucas creation all the books are written by other authors. All the novilizations of the movies is written by others, only it is oked by GL.
To prove a point, in the ROTJ book Obi wan tells Luke that Owen Lars is his brother.
