jedialphaknight Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 first off, why is dooku's saber bent.......I mean YES its very unique but uh...yeh also, I mean ep3 has to be long, I mean, when it starts out clone wars are just ending and aniken is still good, then again having obi won call you his "YOUNG PADAWAN!" every five seconds would make me turn to the darkside as well. But yeh he has to go from whiney anakin to machine voiced anakin by the end of the movie...and also like 20 jedi's to kill as well...maybe he will be cheap and stab them while they are peeing or something.

Fossil25 Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 I think they are running out of ideas and they just are afraid that the new movies won't be able to keep the SW spirit around...so they brush it off and say they can't afford to make it for the fans... also, trying to connect everything may not work. some may think they thought of it all and such but in my opinion, there just are a lot of loopholes, probably due to fans knowing more than the staff in certain cases and these fans telling other people who didn't know and wanted to know. While a duel should last for maybe at least 10 minutes, Anakin's killing of those jedis will probably depict him as a super enhanced version of yoda, like maybe doing a flip in the air along with a swing, and slicing one jedi knight into half, landing and doing a backstab to send another jedi master far away. Those jedi knights would probably be nothing even when you compare them to obi wan from both old and new SW. Then when you watch him battle obi wan at the end of the movie o something, obi wan will appear to be second in the universe in saber fighting, losing only to yoda as this duel would probably have to last..at leassssst 5 minutes.

Sabres in western sword fighting are bent. As with Epees and foils. Count Dooku fights a lot like one wielding a sabre should. The most prominent example is when he hits Obi-Wan twice.

legameboy Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Dooku was slick, Maul was cool, Vader was crude Get the idea, i wish yoda wouldof kill ani, not like skywalker. but at least yoda got to duel in Episode II. now that was a duel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Doo Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 How can anyone say that Dooku is weak? Seriously, he sliced up Obi, he fried and sliced Anakin, and he managed to figth a top-shaped Yoda. Count Dooku was the second strongest jedi in the first 5 movies, rigth behind Yoda. Hes even stronger than Palpantine and Vader! (and of course Maul). Count Dookus darth name is Darth Tyranus.

D@rth M@ul Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 I think its impossible to argue with people about fictional characters. I mean who knows, a rock could have fallen on obi wan's head and thus Darth Maul would have lived, or lucas could have learned to direct better and made it were Darth Maul doesn't die. You guys do understand that the best movies in the SW series (TESB,ROTJ) weren't directed by Lucas. I mean he has good ideas but his way of directing just sucks, like padme' has no good lines and in AOTC anakin carried that movie with his emotional endevours. But anyway, maybe Lucas was less retarded the day he thought about Maul and had it were a clone was made of him, and then he could come back. Although this would be ludacris and utterly stupid, I would still like to see Darth in action . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rommel Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Originally posted by Solo Act this chump doesn't belong in the same class as vadar or maul in terms of coolness. If i was a jedi, i would whoop his ass mace windu style. He's not as cool, but he can really use that sabre! Besides, what makes you think Windu would "whoop" him? He and Yoda were evenly matched, and Yoda was supposedly the strongest Jedi in the universe at that point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Angel Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Originally posted by Darth Knight isn't he gandalf too In Lord of the Rings, he's Saruman the White (the evil wizard.) I think Tyranus could beat the living crap out of Maul, but this is already another thread. He was one of the most powerful Jedi Masters, after all, and has become even more powerful as a Sith Lord. Plus, he has the best lightsaber in the films. However, as far as appearance goes, yes, Christopher Lee is an excellent actor, and has spiffy clothes, but, compared to the other Sith Lords, he's not... frightening. With Vader, it was the big black cape, the skull mask, the breathing, and the voice. With Maul, he looked the devil himself. With Sidious in Episode I, he looked like a powerful mage, and in ROTJ, he looked psychotic. But, Tyranus, to me, looks like my friendly next-door neighbor.

JrKASperov Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 That's the power of Dooku, he looks like a nice guy, but is the evil itself, that gives him style and finesse, plus that he is the master of the lightsaber(Yoda wins because he just IS the Force, not because he has better saber qualities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Doo Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I would have liked to see Qui-Gon in more episodes. The strongest Jedis should not die so fast. Dont say that maul is more powerful than Jinn, cuz he is not. Maul is just a much better cheater. Vader cheated a lot too. The power of the dark side is not within the force. Its just the ability to cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Yeah, what about in TPM when Maul force pushed Obi into the whole. Where was the fairness in that?! Plus he backstabbed Qui Gon - naughty naughty..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Doo Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I really meant when Maul smashed his hilt on Jinns face to stun him, just when Jinn was doing the killer strike. An honorable Jedi would never have done that. If it were allowed in JKII, we would have got a huge amount of newbie hiltsmashers running everywhere.

Dissectional Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I smell spam.. i wonder where it's coming from..? jk man. Dooku was the pimpest sith lord, but i must agree that maul was badass. Maul had tatoos all over his face, horns on his head, pretty much the devil with a dual lightsaber. Dooku is a suave, smooth, stylish sith lord who mopped the floor with obi-wan and anakin. Dooku has the curved saber hilt, and makes his saber fighting look so damn easy. I would love to see him fight Mace Windu or Yoda again in Ep. III.
