So we are screwed without Geriatric Ben

If people remember right Old Ben's lead was broken and not working for a long time while dooku was working fine. This led to a lot of people going with dooku over old ben.
Old ben did make a bit of a come back once they fixed his lead. That with the addition of protection made the old ben/st Han combo good but at that point I was running a full rebel team. AA was a great counter to old ben
