Which duel is better?

Dooku vs Anakin and Obi-Wan on Invisible Hand or on Oba Diah

Which one do you prefer?
Which one has better choreography?
Which one better suits character's fighting styles and skills?

I feel, that this one from Oba Diah is much more similar to their final battle in Stover's novel, do you agree?

TCW, if only because it wasn't limited by real life bodies.

Probably the one on Oba Diah, mostly because it's much more Anakin and Kenobi dueling Dooku, rather than Kenobi getting thrashed pretty early on like in RotS.

If we were to talk about the RotS duel from the novel, though, that one is obviously much better than the Oba Diah duel.

Can't compare oranges to apples. One is animation the other is flesh and bone. Both are cool in their own way.

RotS, and it's not even comparable.

Yes RotS was great at showing the dark side of Zonakin. Oba Diah made Dooku look like a badass for the most part.

Definitely agree on that second part. Not sure about the first part, though, since Dooku kind of wrecks Obi-Wan pretty early in the fight, and does so twice.

Sidious vs Maul. Anakin and Dooku fights never interested me.

Yeah, but in the movie Kenobi barely engages with the Count and is knocked unconscious very early. On Oba Diah, Kenobi duels alongside Anakin much longer.
