There was a thermonuclear furnace where his heart should be, and it was burning through the firewalls of his Jedi training. He understood why Sidious had been so interested in him for so long. He understood how Skywalker was getting stronger.
Even as the boy hurtled downward, Dooku felt a new twist in the currents of the Force between them, and he finally understood. Power flowed into him, and the weight of his years dropped away. He pushed this aside, drawing once more upon the certain knowledge of his personal invincibility to open a channel to the Force. Suggesting that "skill ceased to be a factor" and that Dooku was just destroyed by Anakin's strength is hilariously wrong. Below is where the fight turned in Anakin's favour. The "meteor" quote happened before they had even walked up the stairs and Dooku recovered from it promptly. The only time Djem So is mentioned is near the beginning of the fight when Kenobi is still present, and while Dooku still had confidence in himself, and was still able to maintain some edge over the duo. I'll bookmark this thread and trek across the internet in search of some quotes for this once I get some time. He's going to win this handily he knows how dangerous Skywalker is, he's going to pull out all stops. Yoda still is the better dueler and still is faster. Power isn't everything and that's about all anakin is going to get from tapping into his potential. Tapping into his potential yields a lot of raw power enough power to match yoda or supersede him. There still is a skill disparity between the two. The shining blue lightsaber whirled and spat and every overhand chop crashed against Dooku's defense with the unstoppable power of a meteor strike the Sith Lord spent lavishly of his reserve of the Force merely to meet these attacks without being cut in half, and Skywalker-Skywalker was getting stronger.ĭoubtful that it's going to be a meaningful one, again, given what Anakin did to Dooku. This is skywalker tapping into his potential, It ceased to be skill at that point and he just destroyed him with his physical edge as far as I can see. His potential also was a main part but Dooku couldn't keep up with Anakins strength, he was hammering him into the ground with his blows after he got pissed. There's a pretty obvious reason for why Mace Windu was contemplating Anakin surpassing Yoda in the Revenge of the Sith novel.ĭjem So wasn't even close to being the primary issue in that fight - it was Anakin tapping into his potential. Maul alone at the climax of his fight with Sidious was giving him enough a good challenge, and we already know that Dooku can keep up with Yoda - Anakin as he was on the Invisible Hand is head and shoulders above either. The fact people think Sidious and Yoda are so invincible that they won't have a tough time with someone who can do that to Dooku is pretty hilarious. When he got "pissed", Dooku pretty much got obliterated. You've got to criminally underrate him to suggest that by RotS on normal terms he isn't on Dooku's level. and yet during TCW (prior to Anakin becoming "vastly more powerful" according to SW.com) Anakin was giving Dooku hell by himself consistently and even pushed him to the ground twice. "comparable to Dooku at best"? The wording suggests that Anakin at his best is near Dooku but not even quite on-par with him. are too poorly thought out not to be addressed. No way this will be a tough fight for him. Anakin was comparable to dooku at best till he got pissed.
How the fock is yoda not winning this handily.
