Both fighting at once is best, isn't it? If the footage were little better, it would be a no-brainer. But with creative use of what's there, I think the impression could be achieved -- as long as the underlying idea is that Dukoo is WAY TOO GOOD for them and WAY TO RELENTLESS (no chatting, no pausing). I think there has to be a unique flavor to each duel -- and this one feels the most generic of any in the PT. "Relentlessness" is my suggestion for making it unique.

I just start coming around to TM's way of thinking and look what happens. MTH has got me again here. EXCELLENT point about it being such a generic duel, that's the best way to describe it. It doesn't help that the location is such a boring one, as there are no obstacles or environment varieties to mix things up. The relentlessness would indeed make things unique, and give Dooku more much-needed character. I am still very firmly on the fence on this one. One thing I wouldn't want for sure though is the two fighting him together. Save that for RotS, and save the line that goes along with it as well.
