Well in this case, Obi-Wan made the smart decision. In a traditional duel, Doomu would most certainly have won. So Obi-Wan trying to mix it up was the correct move. Granted, since Anakin was still only a Padawan, it didn't work, but in a battle, when you know that you don't stand a chance of winning, you need to change up your plan, even if it only increases your chances of winning slightly.

[@MarquezRobinson]

Dooku is a boss 🙌🏿

[@oprahIV]

I was never much a of Star Wars fan growing up because I was more of a Trekkie, but I always felt bad for Dooku. I feel like he deserved a redemption arc. He was right in that the council had grown too arrogant. I loved his story in Tales of the Jedi. I’ve always loved his fighting style

[@Quoper1]

Even without the specifics, the reasons was obvious. Although, knowing more details is extremely beneficial as well.

[@talisredstar1543]

Very Nice Vid TSW. I generally tend to nit pick your vids. lol. But you hit the nail on the head, and spared no detail. I love the novelization. Obi-Wan knew Jar kai would not win against Dooku, but it would give Anakin a momentary advantage, and it did as in the fight as Anakin slipped into Jar Kai, the ever master of Makashi realized he had lost the momentum and fell back till he could regain the momentum of the fight. Anakin i'm sure learned from Sindrallic, Yoda, Mace windu, and probably Plo Koon as well in lightsaber combat when they had the spare time. Anakin even learned from THE master of Soresu. In a what if scenario, I think Anakin though he favored Form V, if he had had patience, and become the pinnacle of the lightside, would of been a Lightsaber Master to the point that he would of revolutionized in many ways. In this scenario, the Jedi he would of taught would go on to become some of the most fierce, determined, and level headed Lightsaber Duelists the Order had even scene. Like the legends story of Mace Windu, who made a gank squad surrender by simply touching his hilt. I think Anakin, and those he taught would of never even needed to touch the hilt.

[@selfsight5741]

[@4137Swords]

Long answer: this video Short answer: it was cool

[@zerrierslizer1]

obi-wan knew that Dooku would look at this move as pathetic and dissrespectful, thus leading the very much cocky and confident Dooku to basically teach Anakin a lesson, by toying with him, and proving to him that one blade is all you need. this tactic was what saved them, and gave Yoda enough time to come and save them.

[@Hina_Hanta]

If Dooku considered this "disrespectful," that may be why he decided to take Anakin's hand, something he considered to be a disgrace for a Jedi

[@narkfly]

I'm pretty sure they threw it into the movie because it looks awesome.

[@WRL13]

yeah, I think throwing anakin a second lightsaber was an attempt to shake dooku. but anakin never used 2 blades, so it was not as efficient. it was for naught anyway, because dooku spotted the scare tactic right away. but he's wrong in it being pitiful because double weilding is a genuine form.

[@MAZZ0Murder]

So they could show it in the trailers but realistically only have him use it for like 15 seconds!

[@brokenbridge6316]

[@itsmeadmiral]

Is that the same hilt Qui Gon used or the one Obi Wan lost in his duel with Maul? Prop wise 6:37

[@HestiaVesta]

I find it curious that the apprentice of both people here who dislike dual wielding lightsaber combat both took up that very form of combat.

[@chadflanaganCFC]

The fact it disgusted dooku shows how effective the strategy truthfully was, if Anakin fought on dooku's terms they both would of been killed or captured well before Yoda showed up.

[@robertruse6552]

Here's my thoughts on this I know people are gone now like what I say I do think Obi-Wan Towing Anakin the second lightsaber could have been disgraceful but as you just pointed out it did buy them some more time until Grand Master Yoda showed up I do also like to point out Anakin was very good with both lightsabers on that note I like the rest of you decide I think you like you said it was a hastily put-together plan but it worked in the end with that said keep up the good work and May the force be with you

[@krxwnvxk3432]

subconsciously Dooku didn’t want to kill Obi-Wan, I think he was stalling for time when attempting to execute Obi-Wan, knowing that Anakin would try to save him. Reason he only injured Kenobi in the first place. He never could bring himself to kill him. That’s also the reason why Palpatine told Anakin to kill him, because in their second duel Dooku was supposed to kill Kenobi but didn’t. Sidious saw that as a weakness and a direct sign of disobedience

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Dooku also spared Obi-Wan on Oba-Diah when he had a wide open shot at Obi-Wan's chest when he grabs his sword arm, but knees him in the gut instead.

[@sophiafisher-tp7ek]

I never thought of that. Makes sense.

[@Gor85]

[@joshuarobinson6011]

Palpatine told anakin to kill dooku because dooku was unarmed and at anakins mercy and the Jedi don't kill under those circumstances whereas the sith will, palpatine was always manipulating anakin to push him closer to the dark side. For example telling him to kill dooku, putting him on the council knowing the Jedi wouldn't allow it and playing into anakins ego. It was all palpatine manipulating anakin

Obi-Wan Kenobi had the characteristic knack of doing the right thing so naturally that it almost seemed accidental.

[@50shadesofgandalfthegrey]

i think it's interesting to note that after Dooku manages to win against Anakin, he breathes a sort of exhausted sigh as if the fight was more than Dooku expected. not necessarily more than Dooku was capable, but still a lot more than he thought he was gonna deal with. I think another reason why it was so effective on Dooku in this specific circumstance was more about him fighting a younger, more vigorous and aggressive opponent like Anakin, AND the fact that he was expecting to fight Anakin with 1 blade, and this instant development with little time to react "upset' his rhythm. Dooku is a very methodical and deliberate person. he likes to plan ahead, and doesn't like being surprised, and is always prepared for them. he would think that a young Anakin who just saw his Master get beaten, would fall back on fundamentals of fighting. sticking to standard strengths. but instead, exactly like you said, Anakin not only now has 2 lightsabers, but Anakin at this point already has his very aggressive mentality regarding combat, (which in other videos you've explained had put many jedi masters in awe, but also unease) and it was not something Dooku was expecting, least of all from a padawan.

[@newdayproduce3666]

That and maybe he thought "uh oh.. I just cut off the golden child's forearm.." Sidious might not be too happy about that

​@@Drew_64 me to like he was expecting much better, think he beat obi won and anakin quite easily

[@ChillydontCap]

I like your insight but as the others mentioned, his sigh was of disdain over his easy victory. The wildcard was Yodas appearance. Dooku being the classic duelist was expecting a harder fight from a Master Jedi.

[@RaphBlade7]

Let's not forget Anakin used both his own Lightsaber & Dooku's to deliver the killing blow to Darth Tyrannous! Personally, I like to think in addition to cutting off both Dooku's hands, killing him with two Lightsabers was also basically Anakin/Proto-Vader's way of mocking Dooku by killing him with two blades, his own & Dooku's, which is poetic in a way considering what Dooku thought about wielding two lightsabers & the fact Anakin previously lost to Dooku while wielding two blades!

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

I wonder if Anakin would've Kept the Green lightsaber if Dooku Destroyed the Blue lightsaber

[@jeffreypelton1260]

Anakin always used a blue saber. The reason he had a green one here is that Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme were captured and about to be executed when the rest of the Jedi showed up and just tossed them a couple random sabers.

While it was a desperate & useless move against a master such as Dooku (Tyranus), I understand the logic behind trying to confuse him with having to face a dual lightsaber-wielding opponent. Changing style mid-fight is something that I do very well. Not as a Force wielder, of course. But as a martial artist. While it got me in trouble with many a master and in many a "pure class", having various fighting styles and being able to move into & out of each one has made me successful in fighting to this point.

A disturbance in the Force told him it was important to the plot.. On more, in verse thoughts, one weapon PROBABLY was seen as better then just one. Seeing the situation here was a Padawan vs a VERY good Master. An unable to assist him anymore Kenobi knew Anakin wasn't able to yet take him much in one v one combat an so was gonna need everything he could get to both attack and defend with. Dooku was being a bit overly critical as he seemed to in truth perform VERY well given the mismatch. An was a wonder either lasted long as they did. Even with Dooku holding back. Was just that he underestimated Anakin's abilities in adapting an learning on top of not being ready for his growing power an abilities as the war went on

[@finlayames6216]

@@jlaws8740 I don’t think a more balanced approach would have helped Anakin against Dooku. Dooku excels at picking apart defensive fighters but he had far more trouble beating offensive fighters. He could handle RoS Kenobi, who was probably the best defensive duellist in the order, without to much trouble. However he was noted as an equal to Windu, forced to flee by Yoda and disarmed (quite literally) by RoS Anakin. This makes sense given what we know about both form 2 and Dooku as a fighter. Form 2 has the precision and the subtlety to circumvent a defensive fighter but doesn’t keep up as well physically with more aggressive forms like 4,5 and 7. Also Dooku is noted to not have excellent stamina due to his advanced age. Against a defensive fighter he can take it slowly, waiting for the perfect opening as they are unlikely to break his guard. But against an aggressive fighter he has to match their level to sone extent so they don’t overwhelm his preferred slower pace. So going aggressive was probably the better call.

One of the interesting things about a circle and Anakin is it the only two Jedi and Canon that would go from a green blade to a blue blade? This is usually the other way around going from a blue blade to a green blade as the force powers strengthen and they become more connected to the force. This could be a sign of both how Obi-Wan f***** up with Anakin and how Anakin prioritised more combat orientated training. Due to the night age of the war, they were in requiring more combat focused and less spiritual and mystical focused

True Lightsaber masters only use one blade. Anything else is overcompensation for other...ahem...'shortcomings'. Only inferior duelists need multiple blades. It's a crutch to make up for their overall weakness. True Masters of the Lightsaber only need one blade, no matter the odds. There's a reason why all the CANONICAL greats only used one lightsaber. Sidious, Yoda, Dooku, Obi-Wan, Anakin/Vader, Mace Windu. I could go on and on. Anakin only used two blades when he was still arrogant, raw, and reckless. The guy who butchers younglings clearly has no problem bucking the social norms of the Jedi, so if two Lightsabers made him better he would have made a second one like Ayla Secura did. Sidious only used two blades when he was toying with two inferior duelists who stood no chance against him.

From Wookieepedia: "The Jar'Kai style developed by the Yovshin Swordsmen was named for a city on Atrisia. The city of Jar'Kai was also the site where the original Jar'Kai dueling sabers were crafted. These weapons were utilized by the Yovshin and were designed for the express purpose of being dual-wielded. Niman, the dual-blade style developed by the Royale Macheteros of the Kashi Mer, was named for the dual triumvirate of the Kashi deities. The style was adopted by the Legions of Lettow, a group of Dark Siders responsible for the First Great Schism of the Jedi Order. After the defeat of the Legion at the hands of the Jedi, Niman was adopted by the Jedi order, eventually being refined into the sixth form of lightsaber combat, referred to by the same name.[2] It should be noted that there were Jedi who engaged in dual-blade combat prior to the adoption of Niman by the Order, an example being Awdrysta Pina, who wielded a pair of Jedi katanas in battle. Many Jedi Knights and Sith Lords trained to use Form VI in the hopes of gaining a basic knowledge of the dual-bladed combat, but very few ever achieved complete mastery of Niman. Both styles predated the invention and usage of lightsabers, but being designed to be practiced with swords, they were easily adapted."

Also, Ashoka was also a form 5 user, she used Form 5 but she used the Shien version with the reverse grip. Then again, some sources say she used Ataru(form 4) ..you could even say she used Niman because she had 2 blades! Its all made up sowhat difference does it make? I love Star wars so I like your channel. Star wars loves to contradict itself!

Just like you said teaching them without word's ma'an he could have done that with trying to warn the Jedi especially at that moment instead of causing more blood shed he so call felt regret about

[@charlescowan6121]

Why didn't obiwan use the lightsaber to chop off dookus foot? Or force crush his nuts, a war and the destruction of entire planets as well and the death of billions hung in the balance. I understand the roe's and etiquette that jedi observed, but with so much riding on a lightsaber fight; I'm sure the counsel would've looked passed a little ball squishing.

Was the red kyber crystal Dooku had the bled kyber crystal from Yaddle’s lightsaber?

[@jimtaylor527]

A correct me if im wrong Obi wasnt using the form he was at his prime? B wasnt at his prime anyway. Obi wan in his prime is taking Dooku the DISTANCE

[@mehefe1247]

I think while Obi-wan was lying on the ground defeated he knew Anakin was no match for Dooku. So he threw Anakin another lightsaber giving Anakin another style that might have more succes on Dooku. You can see Dooku was surprised and backed away for a bit but quickly gained control afterwards. Anakin lasted longer in his duel against Dooku because he was a bit more skilled then Obi-wan but eventually faced the same inevitable defeat.

I hate that in this fight and more so in the episode 3 duel, they introduce great concepts that they only use for a few seconds. Like when they jump on the pipes in episode 3. Seems like a great set piece and it only lasts like 4 seconds

[@pipesanity9310]

The answer is simple... because it was freaking cool that's why it was done.

[@gadgetg2610]

Curious. If anakin doesn’t like dual wielding why was he ok with Ashoka and Galen doing this? Helpful crutches for a learning padowan

[@jdp3578]

Each fighting style has its uses. Who else is excited about jedi survivor where we can utilize multiple combat forms?

[@anotherboredperson]

Two hands on a handle is vastly superior to one hand on two. Your range of motion and speed of action is substantially affected. Dooku, however, was poking like a fencer- so he had a greater range. Had anakin used the second blade simply to parry (as an epee fencer might), he would have the same reach advantage with a new mechanical advantage. Of course, thats in real swordfights.
