@richard96:
You are stretching it a bit. What has zallow comparing directly him to malgus? And how can we know how much malgus grew after that?
Zallow's force signature is directly compared to him. He also stalemates him with Malgus having to resort ot a trick to win. Malgus' growth is no different to Dooku's after he left the Order. We know it was vast. But the specifics are dubious.
I did not see Dooku straining.
Just before he lifts them. You see him grit his teeth and strain.
TK is a different thing
Lol. Force push is TK. It is a telekinetic push. Also if you actually looked at the examples ragdolls are included.
If things were as you are saying, anyone could ragdoll anyone
Pretty much.
Why didn’t Kenobi ragdoll Dooku while the latter was exchanging blows with Anakin during the IH fight?
Because the Jedi only use the force for knowledge and defense in canon. Also the same logic can be applied to any fight. It just happens
Besides, in the legends fight, Dooku didn’t ragdoll Obi but he kicked him and accelerated his fall while he was unconscious.
In one version. There are two others in which the ragdoll is included.
Despite the Count’s confidence, the two Jedi forced him slowly backward. When the super droids got in the way, they cut them down. At last they reached the first set of stairs to the balcony. As the Count started up, Obi-Wan disengaged and ran to the second set of stairs to attack him from behind. Climbing the stairs, it cut down two of the super battle droids.
He can’t fight in two directions at once, Obi-Wan thought as he came up behind the Count. If we can —
Count Dooku half-turned and raised a hand. A rush of dark power lifted Obi-Wan off his feet and choked the air from his lungs. He reached for the Force to counter Dooku, but the attack had been too sudden. He saw Dooku twist, kicking out at Anakin with all his weight behind it. Anakin fell backward, and Dooku hurled Obi-Wan over the edge of the balcony.
Obi-Wan dropped to the floor below and lay half-stunned. Distantly, he felt a surge in the dark side, and then a large chunk of the balcony hurtled down at him. His last thought before he lost consciousness was, It’s up to Anakin now.
RotS Junior Novelization
And
He and Obi-Wan ignited their blue-bladed light-sabers and advanced on Dooku, who ignited his own red-bladed weapon. The beams of their lightsabers hummed and clashed as they moved across the chamber. Dooku defended himself effortlessly.
On the level above, the two droids didn't budge, but watched silently as the figures came to a momentary standstill. While the three lightsabers continued to blaze, Dooku grinned at his opponents and said, "I've been looking forward to this."
Not intimidated by the elder swordsman, Anakin said, "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count."
"Good," Dooku said. "Twice the pride, double the fall."
The Jedi charged once again. Dooku backed up as he parried their blows, then used the Force to throw Obi-Wan to the floor. As Anakin continued his assault on Dooku, forcing him back up the steps to the upper level, Obi-Wan recovered himself and leapt up to rejoin the fight.
The two droids fired at Obi-Wan, but he batted their fired energy bolts back at them and cut them down as he moved fast for Dooku. Unfortunately, Dooku moved faster, extending his left hand toward Obi-Wan as he used the Force to lift the Jedi off his feet while at the same time constricting his throat. As Obi-Wan gasped, Anakin swung at Dooku from behind, but Dooku kicked Anakin's stomach with his left foot, smashing the young Jedi against a nearby wall.
Obi-Wan was still suspended in the air when Dooku gestured again with his hand to send his choking victim sailing across the chamber. Obi-Wan crashed against the railing of an extended balcony, then collapsed like a broken doll to the floor. With another gesture, Dooku used the Force to tear a section of the balcony away from its braces and pin Obi-Wan's unconscious form to the floor. Master!
Rise and Fall of Darth Vader.
So yeah he's still choked in Legends.
