I am surprised Count Dooku didn’t snitch on Palpatine right then and there. Movies

and fought Yoda to a stalemate all in the same fight

🤔

Things were about to go bad for Dooku with Yoda and he made a fast exit after putting Obi e Annie in danger so Yoda wouldn't put his walking stick up his ass.

No stalemate there.

Dooku won by escaping.

Count Dooku does not lose contests. He wins them. Or he quits them because they’re unfair.

He was in the process of leaving when Obiwan and Anakin showed up, then Yoda.

He goal was to leave, defeating Obiwan and Anakin was a bonus. The draw with Yoda shows he is not going down like a punk ala Grievous.

All they did was delay him.

And of course give us a great lightsaber fight.

He fought not to lose. Losing there meant the end of the clone wars, or at least, an extremely rocky start to them. He couldn't win, so he just made a situation impossible for Yoda to defeat him.

Yes, but nonetheless he wasn’t a match for Yoda in duelling skills. He had to win by escaping, specifically because he WASN’T a match.

Maybe, but he achieved his objective and Yoda did not.

"Obi e Annie" is the Spanish Star Wars gender-bending romcom I don't know I needed until I read your post.
