Anyone disappointed that Anakin didnt do the 'yell' when his hand was lopped off? Luke did it and old Vader did it (even though it was a robot hand. Why did he yell?). So why didn't Anakin?

While we're at it, why is it that anakin got knocked out when he lost his hand?

And why is it that Count Chocula only tapped obi-wan in the arm and leg instead of just finishing him?

And why is it that Obiwan gets tapped and suddenly he is completely immobilized. If he's one of the toughest jedi's around then shouldnt he have been a bit more gung-ho in trying to be more useful?

Katt >_<

Anakin had pissed and moaned throughout the entire movie. He was likely out of gasps, yelps, and whines...

So he could lay next to ObiWan for Dooku to drop crap on.

Because then he'd have to release Star Warspecial Olympics Edition where everyone has an artificial limb...

Welcome to Plot Convenience Playhouse.

He defeated (sorta) Darth Maul but can't kick Dooku's 80-year old ass? PLEASE!

Yep. With the whole Darth Sidius/Palpatine thing then they already have a powerful old man. So why didnt they just give us an interesting bad guy for this movie? Count Dooku was okay, but we all remember how exciting it was to see darth maul in action. They really shouldve had a tough young sith lord for Yoda to completely destroy in addition to Count Dooku. That wouldve been amazing to see yoda taking on two guys and actually killing one.

Again, while we're at it whats up with the Count Dooku name? Sure I whinced at Darth Maul the first time I heard it but this movie is so full of stupid names that its annoying. And Count Dooku really gets first place in names that you cant associate with evil.

He was about to finish him when Anakin jumped in to save the day...Count Chocula (I love that!) was standing over Obi-Wan 'gloating' before the kill. He obviously did not take the time to read this:

I agree with the name being stupid but I really don't think Count Dooku's goal was evil. Palpatine turned it into an evil thing. He thought he was doing something that was right, as are many who set up this kind a goal for themselves. I think CD was led astray by him, hence the lack of a 'Darth' name. Consider the USA during the revolutionary period. Had England won, then the founding fathers would have been considered traitors and executed as such. But, because they won, they are considered heroes. As Ben Kenobi said, it all depends on your point of view.

'You've done well Lord Tyrannus' - Darth Sidious

Sounds like Dooku is Darth Tyrannus, a Sith Lord, to me.

As to ending up actually being the first leader of what would eventually become the Rebel Alliance.... it doesn't mean he still wasn't evil.

Huh, thought I was the only one . . .

Here's a real fanboy answer for ya', he screamed because he felt pain. Why did he feel pain? If his robot hand was wired without the various sensations, he could very possibly damage it without knowing until it was too late. DV - 'What's that ozone smell?' Officer - 'My Lord!

That's the third hand this month!' Now the big question is how MUCH pain his hand registers. Given that it can take Solo's blaster fire without apparent damage.

I never thought it was the hand that deflected the blaster fire. It seemed like more of a Force ability to me. And now we've seen Yoda deflect Dooku's Force lightning. I'd say deflection without a light saber is simply a high end Force ability.

Agreed on the cyborg hand sensing pain, though. Remember Luke flinching in response to a test poke when they replaced his hand?
