Det var inte nödvändigtvis en fråga om mer effektivitet än att ändra taktiken. Fram till dess var Anakin på väg att förlora på grund av att man utnyttjade mer kraftenergi än Dooku . 2-bladig kamp skulle förändra Anakins mönster och därmed tvinga Dooku att ändra sitt mönster.
Det är också klart att detta inte var någon djupt tankegång av Obi-Wan. Det var en aning för ögonblicket, desperationsinspirerade Hail Mary passerar.
“Unusual,” Dooku said again. “But not enough to save you this time!” He came on hard, thinking to drive Anakin back and off balance as he had driven Obi-Wan back. But Anakin held his ground stubbornly, his green blade flashing left, right, and down so forcefully and precisely that none of Dooku’s attacks got through.
Off to the side, Obi-Wan understood that it couldn’t hold. Anakin was expending many times the energy of the efficient Dooku, and as soon as he tired …
Obi-Wan knew that he had to do something. He tried to come forward, but winced and fell back, in too much pain. As he collected his thoughts, he reached out with the Force instead, grabbing at his lightsaber and pulling it in to his grasp. “Anakin!” he called, and he tossed the young Padawan the blade. Anakin caught it without ever breaking the flow of his fighting, turning it under and igniting it immediately, putting it into the swirling flow.
Obi-Wan watched in admiration as Anakin worked the two blades in perfect harmony, spinning them over and about with blinding speed and precision.
(R.A. Salvatore's AotC novelization)
Det var klart, som inte fungerade som förväntat , eftersom Dooku justerat snabbt och enkelt, dis-dual-lightsabered Anakin:
And he watched with similar feelings the working of Count Dooku’s red lightsaber, flashing ahead and back with equal precision, picking off attack after attack and even countering once or twice to interrupt the flow of Anakin’s barrage.
Obi-Wan’s heart leapt in hope as Anakin charged forward suddenly, bringing his green blade over his shoulder and across, down at the Count. Obi-Wan understood immediately, even before he noted Anakin’s blue blade coming up and over the other way—the green blade would push the Count’s lightsaber out of the way, clearing the path for the victorious strike!
But Dooku retracted impossibly fast, and Anakin’s down-cutting green blade hit nothing but air.
