Anybody else noticed how stupid the emperor looks when he's trying to poke the jedi with his lightsword? is this cos he's an old man and his arthritIs (notice the second I!) stops him doing any swinging motion or is it just because he's a bit... pokey?

It was completely bogus, Mace Windu could of sliced his head off in half the time it took Sidios to do that. Not to mention that Mace Windu is not just going to be bring just some average smoes arrest the Sith Lord.

I think his pokey thing was kinda weird especially the very first one. But it is also explainable. He is so intune with the force he knew that would be the move to kill them. Notice how the better the jedi, the slower the fights seem to be? I mean look at obiwan and anikan they were swinging and spinning those things so fast i think a few people in the theater got a seizure. But then when mace and sidous fought they didnt do any crazy spinning stuff they looked more like the older fights. I think the more advanced the fight, the more mental it becomes.

NAH!! As soon as Mace went against his training and attempted to murder the unarmed Palpatine he lost his connection with the light, that is why he didn't see Anakins attack coming. He was a corrupt and proud Jedi Master, it was the will of the force that he be destroyed.

when you think about it only windu knows what to expectthe other 3 are kinda unknowing, because they dont know what the crap to do. And i also think that Windu wouldve had him either way

Sith fighting styles center on killing the opponent, Jedi style leans toward defense of self at all times. This is why we rarely see a Jedi thrust with a Lightsaber, although the Jedi is very skilled at killing it isn't his/her purpose to do so.

It is safe to say that the Emperor is a fine Lightsaber duelist, he took on the better half of the Jedi Council alone and didn't do too bad. There is no doubt in my mind that he would have owned Mace Windu too if he didn't have another agenda, namely converting Anakin to the dark side.

It is no coincidence that Mace was the last to fall. Anakin hated Windu, Windu opposed everything Anakin was trying to achieve. This opposition ultimately leads to Anakins fall, and Mace's for that matter.

Shoot!! The entire order falls cuz Windu didn't trust Anakin. Blame Anakin if you like, but Mace had his hand in it as well.
