Yoda whipping out hte lightsaber was probably the best moment in the original trilogy

Anakin killing Dooku was among the worst

Eh, I respectfully disagree.  I hated the Yoda/lightsaber thing... felt like pure fan service to me.*  Someone above said how the fight finally confirmed Yoda's status as a "great warrior"... but, IIRC, Yoda had maintained that "wars do not make one great."

For my money, if Yoda were going to fight with a lightsaber at all (and I'd like to believe that Yoda somehow wouldn't have to resort to such things), he would control it simply with his mind, not bounce around like Kermit the Frog on cocaine.  AND if a Yoda battle were needed, it should've been saved for Palpatine (which was a great scene), not wasted on a nobody like... er... "Dooku."

Looking back at the prequel trilogy, one of the moments that stands out to me (in a good way) was Anakin's decision to strike Mace Windu and save Palpatine.  Powerful.

 

* Funny footnote.  Being a bit older than the typical anime crowd, I looked up "fan service" to make sure my use here was apropos, 'cause I know it usually has a sexual connotation, but I thought this was right, too.  The Wikipedia article says this: "Any gratuitous content included in some form of entertainment primarily to please a core group of fans is fan service.^[4] The term has been used in a broader context than just anime, including Star Wars Prequels."

Heh. :)

Hey I also think he should have pulled a Kreia

But at the time

I was like "YESSSSSSSSSS"
