[QUOTE]Originally posted by NeitherJediNorSith: [QB] [QUOTE]Nim: He beat both Knights by the numbers and wasted almost no energy other than what was needed, although he seemed fatigued after.[/QUOTE]I always assumed that this look of fatigue tied in with the fact that he just injured Palpatine's prize pet. It had to be done, but perhaps we was mentally recoiled as if to say, "Oh crap." He immediately turned to face Yoda with seemingly no remnants of exhaustion. Whether or not Dooku knows Palpatine's true intentions with Anakin I cannot even say. [QUOTE]Nim: One can debate the level of force mastery in different characters to death (it's mostly highly relative and subjective) but Mace Windu has been stated and shown as being the best with a lightsaber and overall strongest Jedi human.[/QUOTE]Sorry for any confusion. The comment I made about neglecting Mace had to do with your comment about Dooku being the mightiest human Jedi. I personally feel that Mace holds this title, but only because of moot canon details leaked out by the filmmakers about Mace being unparalleled by anyone but Yoda (though they have since added the fact that only Yoda and Dooku have ever been able to best him in a saber spar). [QUOTE]Nim: I think he [Mace] could take Maul, Vader or Dooku in a fair fight (without Deus Ex Machinas from the sithies).[/QUOTE]I agree. [QUOTE]Nim: Anakin was never anything but a pawn under Palpatine, especially not as Vader.[/QUOTE]I agree. To further elaborate what I meant, I feel that Dooku sees Anakin as a pawn under Palpatine, but he might actually be foolish enough to see himself as Palpatine's equal and or near equal. He may therefore assume that Palpatine has no desire to replace him with Anakin. Maybe he does and he's ok with it. Once again I do not know for sure. [QUOTE]Nim: They can, however, learn how to repel such an attack directed towards them, and I'm not just talking about Kenobi's brilliant absorption in early Dooku-brawl.[/QUOTE]If one can use the Force to generate such things, it only logically implies that they can use said Force to counter these elements/attacks. Some sort of energy force field or telekinetic deflection would be viable. I am reminded of the opening sequence to a video game called "Mortal Kombat: Deception." A character named Raiden is fighting two sorcerers. He is a "thunder god" and he can produce electricity at will. He, at one point in the battle, deflects a projectile using a sort of energy/electricity shield. The effect is very well presented and eye-pleasing. I often envision Jedi doing similar things. [QUOTE]Nim: Maul's Force Pushing of Kenobi into the pit, though, shows that a Jedi caught off-guard has little defense if he hasn't thought two steps ahead.[/QUOTE]I once read on the official site that Maul was able to do this because Kenobi was angry and impulsive. This slightly tapped him into the darkside which allowed Maul to use a force push. [/QB][/QUOTE]
