6. Yoda vs. Dooku - Cheese Factor: None. It's the coolest thing Lucas has directed in the new episodes so far.
For me this is one of my personal worst ever scenes in a star wars movie. I've NEVER wanted to see Yoda fight, and for me the scene just played like the "Ghandi II" scene in Weird Al Yankovic's 'UHF' movie.

No more Mr. Passive Resistance. He's out to kick some butt. This is one bad mother you don't want to mess with.
I always assumed Yoda was so strong with the force he was beyond needing to use a lightsabre. With the prequels there seems a severe lack of anyone using the force, and instead being a Jedi is now about waving a sword around.
Then there's the whole spiel from Vader saying the death star is insignificant compared to the power of the force, yet with the PT the power of the force seems insignificant compared to the ability to wave a glowstick. Growing up with the OT the Jedi always seemed cool. Yet the PT makes them seem cringeworthy and lame. And I think the Yoda fight sums it all up for me pretty well. Even with that rationale aside, for me, visually, spinning Yo-Yo Yoda is cheese incarnate.
At least the clone wars cartoon made better use of the force. The jedi actually seemed cool again in that.
And for me the Anakin versus Asajj Ventress fight at the end of the first (second?) season belongs amoung my list of top star wars moments.
