Christopher Lee served in the British special forces during WW2 and was experienced in classical fencing and historical martial arts. When Attack of the Clones was being filmed, he was already in his 70s. Imagine if he had been physically able to perform the demanding lightsaber duels and action sequences. Who else misses him so much?!!!

[VAFranky]

I really like that idea that Dooku was disgusted by those that wielded two lightsabers because someone who truly mastered the art only needed one. Very fitting with Dooku's character.

[jetuber]

Dooku should have been set up in the first film (Phantom Menace) -- at least a passing reference to him, whether by Qui-Gon or someone else. That would have made his appearance in Ep II a real payoff.

[ZYXPQI]

Dooku is so disrespected by the Fandom, I love he's getting a lot more fleshed out. He was awesome.

[johnduval]

Aesthetically, the ten seconds of "nothingness" is my favorite part of the duel between Anakin and Dooku.. It's also a callback to the final duel between Luke and Vader.

[FlurryMainchin]

I always thought it was pretty clear why Anakin cut the lights.

Under those conditions they must rely more on their connection to the force, rather than visual stimuli, in order to anticipate each others intentions/movements as well as to be aware of the physical space around them

Dooku was a far superior duelist at this time, and he'd already blindsided Anakin with his force abilities - but Anakin has this one skill to leverage; The skill of being able to trust his intuition and awareness through the force is something Anakin has honed his entire life. It's what made him such a great podracer as a child, something that shouldn't even be possible for a human.

He has a stronger connection to the force than Dooku, but less knowledge and less ability. This was the only way to really leverage his one advantage

[GabePlaysYT]

I just love that "signature look of superiority" description of Dooku's face in the Labyrinth of Evil book 😂

[JaceMorley]

I remember as a kid reading an adaptation of Ep 2 and it actually made Anakin rushing in make some sense. He was terrified of Obi-Wan seeing him lose control and give into the dark side again like he did on Tatooine, and with Dooku in front of him he was right on the edge of that. So he rushed him not out of anger but desperation to avoid giving into this anger. To avoid disappointing Obi-Wan.

The closeups during the Dooku fight are great visual storytelling. You can see Dooku having a harder time than he imagined, sensing the darkness and intensity in Anakin and Anakin gets his first taste of fighting a Sith lord, which is his own destiny. It makes the fight a little more personal and foreboding instead of just fancy choreography.

[JihadiFemboy]

Those close up shots in the dark are super important for themes and character. With Dooku he's covered in red with blue rarely appearing on him (the good within him is slowly fading away) and with Anakin we have flashes of red and blue (his future is uncertain). They clash and Anakin is on the left and Dooku is on the right then they switch sides and Dooku is on the left and Anakin is on the right. This switching of sides compares the two, remember that earlier in the movie Anakin vowed to become the most powerful Jedi and that when Yoda arrives, Dooku says he's more powerful than any Jedi. It's the same as Luke vowing to become like his father and then finding out his father is Vader but here Anakin doesn't learn the dangers of ambition. Lucas even intentionally breaks the 180 degree rule for the final bit of this glow in the dark part by showing Dooku on the left and then also Anakin on the left with both of them taking the same part of the screen, Anakin will end up becoming Palpatine's apprentice like Dooku before him. And after that they both mirror each other in moves until Dooku is able to act quicker and cut Anakin's arm off.

I actually enjoyed the part when Anakin and Dooku fight in the dark, I love how in a dark room or theater their lightsabers illuminated the space.

[cchavezjr]

the close up duel with just the faces was amazing. It showed the pure concentration in the fight. The eyes were so focused and didn't need any flashy jumping around or swinging.

[rlmccormack]

Honestly, things worked out fine in the end, George managed to craft the battle we saw and it was spectacular.

[hegodamask]

Anakin: "I'll take him now--"
Dooku: *casually presses R1*

[D-Pooly]

Are there really people out there who think Dooku is boring? I find him way more interesting than Maul and Palpatine combined, not to mention he was played by Christopher Lee, that man doing any sort of character in any movie was always a pleasure to watch

[ericb]

I loved Dooku's character even before the Clone Wars. It was Top Tier Acting and he really was more of a Fallen Jedi rather than a Sith.

[piratavorak]

even with mistakes, he did better than disney with modern tech

[breckintolman]

Dooku is a total badass and he's completely underappreciated

[Hannah_The_Heretic]

2:54 worst part?
With the red and then blue and then red lights running across their faces?
Its a brilliant shot, and emphasise the good and evil in both characters.
And most importantly that shot is just undeniably classic Star Wars
