The battle kicks into action when Yoda is able to deflect Dooku’s lightning, something fans had never seen in the series, as a show of how capable the old master still is. Beginning as a test of power between the domineering Count Dooku and the ageing, frail Yoda, the two use their Force abilities to throw parts of the temple at each other. Perhaps a divisive choice among fans who feel that the fight undermines Yoda’s character somewhat, the fight remains one of the highlights in an otherwise dark chapter in the history of Star Wars.
