I see your point but then you might as well lose the weapon because he's never going to see it again anyway.
If possible I'd paint out dodgy Digi-Fett.
I could never figure out why Lucas had Fett linked to both armies in the first place it makes the Jedi look really stupid but having Dooku using him as a general dog's body further diminishes an already inappropriately used character and the CGI is awful (it's less noticeable with the droids).
