Rank 3: Count Dooku
Count Dooku is one of the best lightsaber fighters in the galaxy, and this holds true even during the time of the prequels when he is already quite old. Dooku is a master of Form 2, Makashi, which is considered very elegant. This is evident when watching him fight. Dooku moves gracefully, choosing his attacks precisely and rarely losing control of the situation.
His disciplined approach allows him to keep powerful opponents in check or even defeat them. He manages to defeat Anakin and Obi-Wan multiple times, and even against Master Yoda, a duel ends in a tie.
Count Dooku may be less talented in the Force than others on this list, yet his dedication to technique and his extensive experience outweigh the skills of many. Furthermore, the portrayal of the character in the films is enhanced by the fact that Christopher Lee, an actor trained in real sword fighting, plays the role. In a video you can see on YouTube, he talks about this.
