I agree with SES above wholeheartedly. If that scene had to be shot at all, then I think it should have been more like this: Dooku tries to attack Yoda. Yoda sighs and just holds out his hand, palm out. Dooku gets stopped short. Then out comes Yoda's lightsaber all by itself and, while Yoda just stands there eyes closed, his lightsaber does all the duelling. Surely it would be much more in character (and much more super cool) for Yoda to just stand there and whip Dooku's arse using just the force.
