Yeah Dooku was cheated by Lucas, first by the stupid name Darth Tyrannus, and then the illogically crappy death. Before Dooku managed to eat breakfast, do his taxes, brush his teeth, and school Anakin and Obi without breaking a sweat, followed by him showing his badassness by standing his own against Yoda in both lightsaber combat and force powers. Then 3 years (I think) later Anakin has suddenly exploded into some god-character that has random fluctuations in power throughout the movie, I mean Jesus man. Anakin being able to humiliate Dooku like that insinuates that he'd be able to dominate Yoda (As we know Dooku and Yoda are relatively equal, more or less.). It boils down to Lucas being a moron. I think that Anakin throughout the movies is portrayed as an absolute dolt, with no intelligence simply wonderful instincts. I think that if Lucas wanted to show Anakin as being more powerful in RotS he should have had him and Dooku be even in lightsaber skills, and have had Anakin somehow outsmart Dooku and thus gaining victory, thus showing how much Anakin has progressed in both terms of Combat Technique, and in terms of Intellect. But whatever, no way of changing it, so yeah.
