Or it’s because of what I explained above? Because Dooku knew he had no chance against Yoda in terms of the Force so he changed the fight but was too arrogant to admit it, a very Sith trait and a general trait of Dooku’s character (always portraying himself as super confident)?
Why does Yoda go along with it?
Yeah. If I was Yoda, I just would’ve used my Force powers to dismantle Dooku’s saber.
