Yeah, I hate that Lucas said that was a legit win for Mace. I think it fits much better to have the emperor make himself look weak and pathetic to win over Anakin. Not actually make him weak and pathetic >_>

Mace Windu was a bad mother fucker for sure. Yoda's spinning and hopping around style of lightsaber fighting was ridiculous.

This. Just a trick to let his guard down.

The classic "I'm going to end this once and for all..." Bond villain-esque time-killing monologue ended up killing the good guy lol

He raised his sword up high to do a mighty and dramatic swing down on him for maximum damage.

But it's a laser sword. He literally could have just poked him in the head.

I still maintain that Gennedy Clone Wars was legit one of the highlights of the entire franchise
Yeah, for me it's the best non-kotor, non movie SW media. It was so great on every level. I was so mad when it ended and got replaced by that super ugly 3D show after The Clone Wars 3D movie

What if Windu and the council weren't such pricks to Anakin? What if they learned to just trust him because of all the times he helped their asses during the clone wars and not only trust him if his discoveries of a sith lord were true? The more I think about it, fuck the jedi council. Such asses to Annie.

Mace Windu is a much stronger saber user than Palpatine, but Sidious clearly outmatches Mace in terms of Force power.

Mace was right about everything he said about Anakin. Anakin literally genocided a whole ass village , before they were mean to him. Just like with Kylo white school shooters need to take responsibility for their own actions not stop blaming everyone else.

Well it makes sense mace windu in canon was the top light saber duelist and palpatine uses the force mainly ditching his saber so this outcome is correct

It's really interesting how so many small moments and lines of dialog have such an impact on the spin-offs and side series. Like Grevious and Anakin taunting each other means that in seven seasons of Clone Wars the two are never allowed to meet each other.

from the movie novel, i'm pretty sure it made it plain that it was an equal match up until the point anakin walked in. then palpatine took a fall to break him.

i've got no idea if its still considered 'cannon', but windu used a style of combat that was uniquely suited to fighting sith. thing is, even with that palpatine was just a beast, so the fight would have gone on evenly until someone finally made a mistake. and seeing that palpatine had everything planned out it seems obvious he had his mistake planned too.

Kinda like Obi-Wan, who was nothing special with the Force but was an incredible lightsaber duelist

I'm pretty sure SW is going to be one of those things where I like all the spinoffs over the 'main' thing

Mace Windu is considered the best pure lightsaber combat expert in the canon of Star Wars. At least of the films, and most likely most of what is considered Canon now.

here's what lucas said.

Okay, well, this sequence always started out with Mace overpowering Palpatine, and then Palpatine using his powers to try to destroy Mace, and Mace deflecting his rays with his lightsaber. And it always was that Anakin cut the lightsaber out of his hand. But this part where he pretends to lose his power and be weak was something that I added later, 'cause this is, it moved the point where Anakin turns down to this moment right here, and you can see now, that it's very clear that he's, he, he wants him to go on trial so he can pump him for information about how to get these powers."

essentially, mace won the fight because palpatine choose to throw it at that specific time.

I don't give a fuck what "95% of people" think. The dude was a master for a reason. Don't try to pin it on the movies for not putting all his feats on a list and shoving it down your throat.

Your logic is flawed. Saying he's trash because you don't see him do anything is ignorant.

That's like me only seeing Obi Wan in episode 4 and then going like, "damn he must have been trash"

Ok. Now read the part before that where Mace over powered him. He only put on the frail face to gain sympathy from Anakin. He wasn't throwing the fight. He lost that legitimately.

This literally says that mace beat the emperor fair and square and that the emperor then decided to capitalize on that by playing up how badly he was losing
