Vader will become more powerful than Dooku. yoda beat Dooku and once Anakin reaches his height of strength Yoda hides in fear on Dagobah.

Well, to be honest, Yoda was getting senile. Besides, fighting Vader is one thing, but fighting Vader while dealing with the stormtroopers is another.

That said, Vader owns Dooku.

I feel the main reason Dooku defeated Anakin was due to technique and experience more than anything. If Dooku has to face Anakin again, especially after the Jedi Purge, then he doesn't stand a damn chance in hell. He'll be fucked three ways from Sunday.

Yes, dealing with stormtroopers is another thing. Too bad they just stood there like retards while Vader fought Obi Wan. :D

Well, Anakin killed Dooku once (Episode III).

This is my firm belief.

After the Jedi purge?

The jedi purge will be made by Palpy and Vader.

Dooku can't exist by that time, because there's only one master and only one apprentice.

But if Dooku twist back to the light side...NOOOOOO!!!!

Anakin will kill Dooku and take his place as Palpy's new apprentice.

To get back to the question:

Vader would kill Dooku!

Dooku would appear to have greater skill with a lightsaber AND a greater range of force-skills (Vader was never seen to use force-lightning, which appears to be an advanced skill). OTOH Vader might have a better 'connection' with the force than Dooku. Dooku has beaten the younger Kenobi without much difficulty, while Kenobi and Vader in ANH seemed to be about evenly matched, though more experienced than they were during AotC. Overall I'd probably put my money on Dooku rather than Vader, though it'd be a good fight to watch.

I'm sure that Vader will kill Dooku in Episode III as payback for the whole "you fucking cut my arm off and now I can't jerk off with my right hand anymore" thing.

Yeah, that of course makes sense, but I could have sworn I read that he was getting killed off in a game or book or something. Oh well, I can't find the source, so don't listen to me.

I see this being really simple. Ok it's like this, Vader is Palpys right hand man by IV ok. Currently Dooku has that job. So i think it's safe to say that between now and then Vader is gonna kill Dooku.

Unless Mace Windu or Yoda gets there first :)

I suspect that Anakin will kill Dooku before Vader comes into being. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in the middle of Episode III. Anakin kills Dooku, becomes Vader and then is tossed into molten material in the climactic fight with Kenobi.

Anyway, Darth Vader vs Darth Tyranus excluding plot neccessities, it would be one hell of a fight. I'd have to give the V to Vader simply because Vader is so much stronger than Tyranus. Tyranus has a lot of skill, but skill can only take you so far.
The gift of Superman is the same in his universe as ours. It's not about his powers, his costume, his persona, it's about the using the gifts he has to help people. We all have gifts too, maybe we can't leap tall buildings in a single bound, but maybe we're good with math, maybe we're charming. We can use our gifts -whatever they are- to help people. We just need to make that choice. And Superman shows us that it's possible.

I wouldn't worry. It is either an irrelevent plot point of the game, or Anakin defeated a doppleganger illusion. A Sith power Luke used in Dark Empire to make Leia believe he went with them to leave Byss.

I think they saw the lightsabers and knew it was Vader's battle, perhaps fearing to piss off the dark lord by sending a blaster bolt or two in his direction. If Obi Wan had struck down Vader, he likely would have quickly become a blast-bolt sponge...

In my opinion the evil Anakin could win over Dooku but Vader could not.

Vader. He REPLACES Dooku, so either: Palpy knows he's more powerful or Vader proves he's more powerful by taking Dooku out.

Or Dooku dies by another jedi and Palpy simply needs someone who can easily turned to the dark side.
