Dooku and Anakin have both learned much since their last encounter.
'This time we do it together.'
'I was just about to say that.'
They both know how powerful Dooku is now,before it was really just Obi Wan who was aware. Anakin was headstrong and thought he could take him on and pwn him but as he ran towards him,he didn't sense the force lighting Dooku was about to shoot at him.
Though he was squirming in a corner,he still observed what your actually supposed to do when that happens,hold your lightsaber up and deflect it.
Dooku's learned that last time he had trouble with Anakin,now three years in a war that has only honed his skills,he knows theres no way its going to work again. Besides Anakin and Obi Wan are slashing at him like crazy,he wouldn't really have time to step back and shoot some lightning unless it was 100% foolproof.

But remember, it took Luke a while and he had to make funny faces to do so.
What scene are we talking about?
on endor when he was tied up.
yeah, in the rots book (not worth your time, btw) it says that dooku was under the impression to just make it look good. then they stepped it up a notch so he fought harder, then anakin killed him. but the original plan was to toy with them or something for a while and take out obi so they could get ani alone.

You said it brother. It's amazing to me that this movie has been out since May, and questions like this are still being asked as if it's all for real, and the characters had any other choice in the matter as to what they do, say, or react.
It happened that way because that was what George Lucas had envisioned to happen.
No more, no less.

Maybe Darth Tyranus wouldn't to scar his face like Lord Sidios...or simply whitout his hands he can't light up anybody.

Once Anakin tapped into his raw potential of power after letting go of anger, revenge, and hatred, there was no way Dooku would prove to be a match for Anakin.

If Anakin had not been injured so badly on Mustafar, he would have grown even stronger and gone on to overthrow Sidious.
Sidious himself even says "Lord Vader will become more powerful than either of us".
How would Vader be more powerful than Sidious?.
Vader cant do Force lightning with his metal arm.
Would Vaders "skill" simply be to overpower some one with a lightsaber or would he become so strong that not even Jedi Masters could escape his force choke?
any ideas?

RE to Hypernova's question

Maybe Lord Vader was able to absorb lighting with hands as he do with Han Solo's fire on Bespin in TESB...and then, even if this act cost him his life,has not Vader killed the Emperor? And isn't thank to Anakin that Sidious defeat Mace Windu?
I think that Vader was really more powerful than the Emperor and than any other Sith and Jedi. In fact he has also more Midiclorians.

Vader cannot block Sith Lightning, since Lucas says that he cannot due to his bionics. His suit would short out and he would die. The only way to do it was the way he did do it.

You're both terribly condescending and likely just trolling, but what the hell. I've got a few minutes to spare and maybe you guys are really just too thick to realize that you're insulting everyone with these comments.
We all realize that George Lucas wrote it. Do you doubt that? There is, however, some kind of presumed internal logic to how it all works when Lucas writes something. When a fan asks "why did x happen?" then the question is why the event happened in the story given the logic or parameters that we know. The discussion should entail some examples or tidbits that may not be readily apparent thus, those kinds of questions are best asked here where there are people obsessed with the story or films in question.
With the right attitude, those kinds of questions can be a satisfyingly intellectual exercise, even if it's ultimately of little significance beyond this forum. You might discover that on your own if you participated on that level instead of sitting at the sidelines carping about the obvious and making condescending remarks. Try it.

RE to Darth Sinister opinion.

It wasn't the only way...Vader could obey to the Emperor and leave happen that Palpatine killed Luke with Lightning.
In this case, if the Emperor win,what do you think will he do about the defeated and weak Vader? Will Palpatine take care of him or kill him? Remember that Palpatine ordered to Luke to kill his father, and Vader heard it, afther that can Vader trust his Emperor yet?

Sidious will be stuck with Vader until he can get Leia to turn to the Dark Side.

However I think Leia will not pass to Dark Side, expecially afther a hypotetick killing of Luke.
What do you precisely think could happen to Palpatine and Vader after the inevitable Death Star's destruction?

If Luke died, Palpatine would've sensed that the Death Star was in danger of being destroyed. He and Vader would've fled before it happened.
