Continuity mistake: While training Savage, Dooku uses the Force to levitate a number of stone obelisks. While he's doing that, there's a closeup of Savage where an obelisk that is shown floating in the preceding and successive shots is visible behind him not floating. (00:03:36)
Answer: I guess that 1) the King assumed that Ventress' droids were meant to capture the Jedi, not kill him outright. When she yells at OOM-224 to shoot Yoda, she evidently failed that expectation. 2) Sending out a bunch of Droidekas after it is plain that Master Yoda has clearly won is not a sign of good sportsmanship, either.
