Nope, not kidding. I think that as an action scene, maybe even as the traditional climactic lightsaber duel, the Yoda/Dooku duel is far more exciting than that hack and slash job (by which I mean the editing) of the Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Dooku fight. It was also a big crowd pleaser.
That doesn't automatically mean that it was right, but I thought it worked way better and was more pleasing to watch.
Eh heh, not my crowd, it wasn't - most of people in the audience with me were laughing their asses off at how ridiculously stupid it was, while a few others were so royally pissed off to the point that they were swearing at the theatre screen.
I, on the other, did all my swearing at that particular moment inside my head. :P
EDIT: And John Stewart for the WIN.
