Can Yoda defeat Count Dooku?

He didn’t defeat either. Dooku ran from Yoda and Yoda ran from Sidious, both having the clone army as their backup. Tyrannus is a very powerful Sith, more powerful than his apprentice Qui-gon or his predecessor Darth Maul, and one of the greatest duelists ever.

Well yoda kind of did defeat him because tyranus opted to retreat instead of continue fighting and risk it all against combatant that was outmatching him in lightsaber combat.

Did Dooku know palpatine was Sidious?

Yes. Dooku did know Palpatine was Sidious. As far as Anakin knew, Dooku was the Sith Lord who orchestrated the Clone Wars. Not to mention Anakin trusted and liked Palpatine so much, that he would have had a hard time believing he was a Sith Lord.

Who is the best lightsaber duelist in Star Wars?

Darth Sidious was the greatest and most skilled Sith swordmaster, as he has mastered all the seven lightsaber forms, all their stances and techniques and is capable of using each form equally effective ambidextrously.

Why didn’t Yoda kill Count Dooku?

Dooku was good, Yoda was better. Dooku didn’t want to kill Yoda, nor did Yoda (or Obi-Wan) want to kill Dooku. Dooku was a political idealist. Killing one of the most powerful Jedi wouldn’t be a good way to help out his cause. Too risky. His mission was to start the war and get the plans for the initial death star to Sidious.

Is Yoda The Greatest Duelist of all time?

Even without his unique fighting style, it is said that only his one-time friend, Dooku, and the venerable Grand Master Yoda could outspar him. Yoda was a master of lightsaber combat, one of the greatest duelists of all time.

Why didn’t Dooku kill Yoda during the sabre-battle scene?

Just wondering if anyone had any theories on why Count Dooku did not kill Yoda during the sabre-battle scene. It seems that when Dooku distracted Yoda by toppling the pillar over Obi-1 and Anakin, Yoda was very vulnerable to an attack. If distance was the key (too far away to use a light-sabre), then why didn’t Dooku just use force-lightning?

Was Count Dooku a good swordsman?

At Wookieepedia I found the following: Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy. Only Masters Yoda and Mace Windu were considered his equals.
