whats the deal with that guy... not doubting him, people seem to have a pretty good trust in him... I know hes over at TFN... but someone said he is leaving or something, whats the story... and does he ever hint as to how he gets his info?

I agree NoMed, it has been mentioned before and never before really been confirmed( let's say by Lucasfilm or the official site)!
But if it's there I hope it's gonna be Clash of Titans!!!!

I heard it was going to be a bit longer then the one in AOTC. You see, Yoda vs. Dooku in AOTC was even longer, but Lucas cut alot of that duel out to keep some exciting new things fresh for Yoda's duel in ROTS.
I for one hope that we have seen the LAST of "lightsabre Yoda".
I seriously hope they DO duel, but with FORCE ONLY.
The duel between Dooku and Yoda was looking promising until Yoda started his stupid lightsaber stunts.
And seeing as how Yoda says "do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor" - here's hoping Sidious whoops him so bad that he doesn't even have time to grab his saber.
It would be absolutely awesome to see Yoda crack under the pain of sidious' lightning.
If Sidious whups Yoda with Force lightning, it would add to the end of ROTJ scene where Luke is getting shocked by the Emperor - we would fully understand the sheer pain he must have been in, and how strong he has become to withstand it for so long, when even Master Yoda couldn't hack it.

I totally disagree. I think that it was awesome. Everyone has a different fighting style. For how old Yoda lived to be, it kept him from ever losing. I think it also showed us how great he was in his younger years.
I will not change my mind on this issue....
Yoda putting the smack down on Sidious
would be truely awesome.....
But something tells me that Sidious will pull
some darkside trick to keep himself from
being whooped by the 1/2 sized green guy.....
and that is where we get the famous 'dont
underestimate the powers of the darkside'

Go watch it again - and watch Dooku, never take your eyes off him. There's a bit where Yoda jumps away, and Dooku isn't even looking in his direction.
Seriously, I thought the duel was cool at first, but after a while you realise that it was really, really stupid. It's supposed to be Anakin and Obi-Wan getting the spotlight - you need to sow the seeds of their characters. We really didn't need to see Yoda fight, much like how we don't need to see Sidious fight.
It should have just been Dooku having a duel with Kenobi, then Anakin, making the two characters involved look more special.
They really should have saved Yoda for the Emperor.

But yeah, it's not a duel without flaws. As much as I like it, there were a couple of errors, one noticably where their blades never make contact, yet you hear the impact.
The part about Dooku looking in the other direction, perhaps that error was made when they cut part of the duel out of the film?
I don't know, but I just don't like that fight in general. The three stages were badly done:
Obi-Wan vs Dooku: "Oh wow this'll be amazing it's just Obi-Wan and Dooku, Obi-Wans gonna kick so much a....wha? He's down already? WTF?"
Anakin vs Dooku: "Ok I get it, I see the Vader tie in there, saving his master, pretty cool, I bet this is where it kicks off an....wha? What are they DOING? Why are they dancing in the dark? Their sabres are moving but I don't hear ANY clashing noises! Ben Burtt f**cked this up big style. Oh hang on they're back in the open maybe some action will.......wha? Anakin don't leave your arm out like a retard! Anakin YOU SUCK!"
Yoda vs Dooku: "Oh, OK, I give up. Lucas has forsaken the credibility of his two most important characters in order to put Yoda over as a bad ass. What is he doing? He did NOT just do a kung fu pose! Now what? No....don't you dare. He did. He only just pulled out his mini lightsaber. Stop cheering you morons! Look! he just looks like a rotating CGI blob! He's made Dooku look like a tool, which makes Obi-Wan and Darth Vader over there even bigger tools! You and your freakin muppets George"
i wish i could
