Here’s the Dooku Duel. Lots of changes here, ranging from cutting sections of the fight, to using pans and zooms to get more activity out of it, moving some shots from parts of the fight to other sequences, etc. I wanted Dooku to feel scarier, and the fight to feel more dangerous. I also removed the cutaways to Yoda and Padme so we stay in the fight the whole time.
Yoda no longer appears as part of this sequence. I always felt like it was one action scene too many, and I love the idea of Yoda not using a lightsaber until he kills the two clone troopers during Order 66.

This is what I’ve always wanted. The Dooku showdown is so embarrassing for Obi and Ani, and the way Yoda comes to their rescue just makes it worse. I agree on his complete absence in this scene.
