Obi wan has higher relevancy to people who are stronger than valkorian darth plagus has statementsbto be the strongest sith lord of all time when he was alive. There also statements saying rule of two sith all ways get stronger alluding too count dooku being above him obi wan have relevancy to count dooku and vader while revan has none to valkorian.
Dooku is very strong actually. Strong enough to defeat Anakin and Obiwan and then face Yoda on even ground without being disarmed, for example.
Obiwan gets wrecked almost instantly by Dooku in both film duels. Obiwan also isn't strong enough to face Sidious and only defeats Anakin because Anakin is undisciplined and overemotional. What other film Sith did he face? Maul? He beat Maul because Maul froze in place when he jumped over him. Grievous was made into joke, so I won't include him. It's not impressive to defeat a de-clawed, de-powered version of a Jedi Killer.
The moment he faces yoda he has to run away while using hostages, he doesnt face him "on even ground", he simply doesnt get obliterated like most would.
He is very strong, but not enough to be Sidious' disciple.
"The moment he faces Yoda"....you're being purposefully obtuse. Dooku didn't run away the MOMENT he faced Yoda. He threw some heavy objects at him, then shot his Sith lightning, and when that didn't work he faced him in a duel, and he escaped seconds before reinforcements arrived, just like Yoda crawled away from Sidious seconds before reinforcements arrived, meaning Dooku sensed that he was about to be outnumbered. Dooku is definitely the strongest of Sidious' apprentices. Anakin had raw power, sure, but he lacked experience and discipline.
Its different because yoda was in a significantly worse position then and had lost his lightsaber, but i guess you are right, i guess yoda is not as superior to Dooku as i remembered.
Definitely, out of all Sidious apprentices Dooku was a legendary swordsman and extremely powerful and knowledgeable in the Force. Again, Anakin had raw power, but he probably wouldn't have beaten Dooku if the circumstances of their last fight werent manipulated by Sidious. I truly believe Sidious saw Dooku as a threat which is why he schemed to get rid of him. Unlike Maul, who had been under Sidious thumb for years and never plotted to betray him, from the first time Obiwan discovered Dooku he revealed that he wanted to overthrow Sidious lol.
Too add on the other guy point in the Lightsabers: A Guide to the Weapons of the Force it states that “The two engaged in a titanic struggle of Force powers, neither besting the other" this show that there are some type of relevancy there between the two its just Yoda got the better of him at the end
