Laser sword fights are all about whacking the other guy's stick hard till it falls out of his hand and not about stabbing and slashing at unprotected areas early and often~

Sword fights are also about keeping your blade between you and your opponent and using it to close your opponent's lines of attack.The Hutt could actually win though because Leia is so oblivious he put herself in a position where it could just seize her with its tail and crush her without her being able to see it coming or react in any way, or overpower her with a strong blow and knock her down because she's off balance striking a stupid pose for the camera instead of staying planted and thus unable to put any power behind her swings or parry an incoming attack.

Although the hutt's gimping himself with his own grip--he seems dimly aware that a lightsaber is a two-handed sword but cannot fathom why it is or how to use a two-handed sword (you put your hands some distance apart and use the hilt as a lever, you don't flail it around like a baseball bat).

Also has any Jedi made a buckler out of cortosis or freak metal and tried one-handed sword and buckler combat?

Actually, what he said was weirder. He said he planned out a new third trilogy himself and was going to make the first movie... Then sell to Disney. Like, he only cared enough to make one movie, and that was hypothetically.

Still, I think it's a loss we won't get to see more Lucas Star Wars :unsmigghh:

Darth Sinistar would be pretty cool. Might be hard for a talking Norwegian flag to use a lightsaber though.

Yeah, they just kept calling him Count Dooku, which is even worse. What was he the count of anyway? How did he even become count? It can't have been hereditary, he was a Jedi, ripped from his mothers teat practically. Had he become a count since leaving? How does one go about becoming a count? Ugh Lucas, what a count.

He didnt say DARTH Tyrannus.


edit: Also like how Cooku Dount is hardly recognized as a sith. He was just.......THERE. How long was he in AOTC? probably 10 minutes at the very end. Who is he? Why do we care about him? Why is he the bad guy? Oh....he escaped...and he talks to Darth Sidious. Cut to ROTS, How long was Dooku in the movie? Oh....3 minutes....and he's dead......oh....He was just....kind of there.

He's no dummy, he's not telling a Jedi he's working for a Sith.

It's implied. One of the many subtle touches in the prequels.

Sheev calls Dooku DarthTyrannus at the end of Episode II but its literally the only time in the movies where he's called that.

I wonder if that would make them resistant to being choked to death. Might be useful for any random Hutt to do, might make them blaster resistant too.

Force-choking is limited to middle-aged men and pregnant women, duh. Of course it wouldn't work on a hutt :rolleyes:

Choking a hutt would be hard though, you'd have to use both arms. It'd think you were hugging it.

He going to be a count, instead joined the Jedi, and then left the Jedi to assume his hereditary role as count because, you know, money.
