The Duel of Geonosis sees Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda take turns to see who will get beaten up by Count Dooku next. but is it a fun duel for the audience? Is it possibly... the most underrated duel of the franchise?

Totally! I like how he knew that Sir Christopher Lee himself had input into the design of the hilt, the shape was made that way to make it easier to hold in a dueling stance. Which, with the background lore of Dooku having near-perfected Form II (Makashi) of combat designed for saber-vs-saber dueling, this makes total sense for him to have a saber built to strengthen those precepts.

Lemme tell you, as a fencer, and as someone who's used both styles of lightsaber, a curved hilt is far more advantageous in single combat than a double blade Dooku's hilt isn't a gimmick, it makes an appreciable difference. Think about it this way, the blade will always arrive faster than his grip on the hilt makes it seem. He's holding the saber straight, so the blade is angled slightly forward, but your brain has a really hard time making that adjustment in real time when you've spent years (decades for Obi-Wan, centuries for Yoda) subconsciously memorizing exactly where a blade will be relative to the position of your opponent's hands on the hilt.

There are a few examples of real historical sabres with curved hilt, but they're very slight curves and they are the exception, not the rule. And like any historical weapon, if some characteristic like that is not in all swords it means it is objectively inferior to a straight hilt, and the cases where they existed were because of either experimentation or personal preference. And for two handed swords like a lightsaber, leverage depends only on the hilt length, not its shape.

Yoda's acrobatic style also is the perfect embodiment of form IV lightsaber combat, while Obi Wan is the embodiment of defensive III, Anakin of aggressive V and Dooku's refined dueling of II. At least we get these very defined styles that work and make sense rather than Rey swinging a lightsaber like a baseball bat and somehow beating the apprentice to both Luke and Sidious/Snoke. Remember, the lightsaber is an elegant weapon of more civilized times.

Although it would be pretty awesome if he turned out to have been the first person to swordfight on digital film, and the first person to have a wizard duel on digital film.

Dooku's display in this movie is by far the most impressive performance of any Lightsaber duelist, Jedi or Sith, in all the movies, ever. Sure, it doesn't look as fancy, as exciting and it's short. But in short succession, Dooku completely overwhelmed Kenobi, something nobody ever did before or since, in fact Obi Wan never managed to defeat Dooku. Then, Dooku overcame Anakin, the literal Chosen One, and mutilated him badly. THEN he fought toe-to-toe against none other than Master Yoda, the most powerful Jedi of his time and his former Master (and this after neither being able to overcome the other using the Force). And while the fight sequence is meant to show us how amazing Yoda is, in reality the result was the same, a stalemate. Dooku successfully distracted Yoda long enough to make his retreat. Lets keep one thing in mind, not even Darth Sidious managed anything more than a stalemate against Yoda. In fact, Sidious was visibly afraid of fighting Yoda head-on, and literally tried to escape the confrontation, whereas Dooku took on Yoda with confidence and without the slightest hesitation. In short, he defeated two of the greatest lightsaber duelists of all time, then stalemated against the most powerful Jedi in the Order. He wasn't hit, injured or even so much as kicked, not even once through all three fights. AND, he successfully accomplished all of his mission objectives.

While I agree with most of your post, Dooku is one of the most powerful and accomplished masters ever, I disagree with your assumption about the duel with Yoda. Yes, he decided to fight Yoda, and yes he seems to have not been hit in the duel. But, it is clear since the beginning that Dooku didn't want this fight. He was searching for ways to escape since the beginning. During the entire scene, Yoda is in control of the fight. While force fighting, Yoda simply negates Dooku's attacks or redirects them but doesn't attack even once even though he had the chance to do so. That shows us that while Dooku is posturing in the end that the battle would have to be decided by a lightsaber duel, in reality he lost the force battle and knows it. Yoda simply shows him that he could end this battle then and there. He simply gives him the time to accept that fact and decide what he wants to do. Then during the duel, Dooku is seen attacking ferociously and, dare I say desperately, trying to stop Yoda from having the control of the flow of the battle. Yoda, in no part of the duel, be it in the force duel nor in the lightsaber duel was seen to be pushed at his limit. I believe that in this scene, what we must take is that while Anakin and Obi Wan are great fighters and powerful force users, they are still far from being masters. And while Count Dooku is a force to be reckoned with, he is nowhere near Yoda's level. Had Yoda wanted to kill Dooku, he could have done so. But, he didn't want to kill him, first of all because he wanted to take him prisoner and question him about what he knows, but also because he wanted to save his student. Yoda's only mistake was that he didn't expect his old student to use his power to try and kill Anakin and Obi Wan in order to escape. a lapse of judgement really. He let his own memories of his student cloud his judgement, and that lapse is something that can be supported by the scene itself. Dooku didn't kill Anakin and Obi Wan even though he had the chance to do so. A move more akin to the honor of a Jedi than a Sith. Taking that into account, Yoda hoped that his old student wouldn't use such an underhanded move while facing him, and dare I say hoped that he could reconcile with him.

One of things i love about that fight, is Dooku's face at the end. after defeating Obi Wan and Anakin, and he just looks so sad. To me, its the first break in his façade. He talks about being a dark, powerful force of the dark side, but in that moment? he looks like an old man, wondering what the hell he's done. Crippling some poor teenager for life, its that moment of "is this who I REALLY want to be? Is this REALLY the right path." all of which pays off of course, in the next movie, where he is robbed of his dignity, his skill, and before the end, his life. His finale moments, not spent as the dark lord he tried so hard to be, but as the tired, old man, afraid to die. For a character that spends most of his time being a "tell, don't show. I think it gives give him depth, the character otherwise would have lacked.

Yeah you’re practically spot on with your “Force moving your own old body” theory. Force users empower themselves when they fight. For most like Anakin, Luke, and Maul this works together with their muscles to turn them into absolute beasts. In contrast a force user’s connection to the force can turn them into absolute beasts despite their failing body like Yoda, Dooku, and Palpy (and somewhat Vader, his cybernetics may keep his strength but his agility and endurance is all his connection to the force.) There was a line somewhere in some book that episode 6 Palpy was surprised to find out he could still run without the force.

It's also worth noting that they can't do that forever. It's like putting nitrous in the tank; it's a powerful boost, but brief. An old force user can physically compete with a younger one only for a short time. If they don't end the fight quickly, the endurance of the younger fighter will win out. A great example being Qui-Gon vs Maul.

I've always enjoyed the Yoda/Dooku fight... but my pick for most underrated fight in the series was only barely mentioned here in passing: Obi-Wan vs Jango. No one ever talks about it! Even though it's the most unique duel in the entire franchise, thanks to the wonderful asymmetry in the combatants' abilities. Not to mention that it's the only time we ever see a muggle go toe-to-toe with a Jedi and pull it off. Between their fight and the ensuing chase, it's a showcase of Obi-Wan's quick thinking vs Jango's seemingly bottomless bag of tricks. But what I think really makes it special is the vital plot purpose it serves, which is subtle enough to be overlooked: By establishing that Jango is an absolute badass on land and in space, the audience instantly accepts that the clones are badasses as well. There's no need for any other setup or explanation of their abilities. And for anyone in the audience who'd been wondering, "Ok, but why choose THIS guy as the basis for the clones?" they have their answer. Because this guy can fight a Jedi and walk away. (Plus - and maybe this is a stretch - but that aspect also feels like a little quiet foreshadowing of Order 66...)

@Jason Blalock, Agreed, it was meant to showcase how useful and competent the clone army could have been and foreshadow the dangers should they turn against the Jedi. The point you make is evident in the extended CGI parts where the Clones are launching their very first ground assaults on Geonosis - their first shock and awe moment. After Yoda has bailed them out of the arena he assumes command and the audience can feel an under current of unease at this new power the Jedi are forced to juggle. The choice of Yoda particularly with his pacifist demeanour leading a war drives this home even more. This is what frustrates me, we know George struggles with dialogue and has a penchant for stupid 4 year old toy characters but the level of plot and character building in 1-6 is miles away from Disney's rubbish, like a completely different franchise.

He even stood up against anakins powerful strikes, at the end he only slipped and thats why he lost but he is way more powerful its just that Sidius literally made Dooku Anakin's Master for a while.

They do such an excellent job with this duel. Even going as far as showing how when Anakin initially crops into Jar Kai it catches him by surprise and you visibly see him fall to his back foot and is on the defensive until slowing down Anakin's momentum and taking back the offensive. It's such a great job showing Tyranus's mastery.

From a behind the scenes interview, the curved hilt was also custom made for Lee who from what I understand suffered from injuries to his hand years later from when he filmed three musketers and thus the curved hilt was easier for him to hold long term. In terms of story character and costume, Dooku is an actual count of his home planet and as such preferred the jedi saber style of either makashi or soresu which is described as being an elegant style of saber combat that focuses on patience and precision strikes, a style befitting someone of his status as a Count.
