Vanquish
SPOILER (not sure if we have to say that anymore, but just in case)
Was anyone else as surprsed as me about the main duels? I thought forsure that Palps and Anakin were going to be portrayed as much stronger then the jedi, but that actually wasen't the case.
Windu Vs Palpy: There was a lot of debate before the movie whether Palpy pretended to be weak vs Windu in order to turn Anakin. I have to admit, I was one of them. But after seeing the movie, Windu clearly beat Palpy when he was fully trying. There was never an indication, a look, a hesitation at all from palpy. He simply lost. I'm surprised, but it turns out that Windu was stronger. The only time he played up to Anakin was right before he was going to die. The rest of it, he just plain lost...
Yoda vs Palpy: I'm SOOOO happy that during the big duel, it was essentially a draw. In saber combat, Yoda was stronger, putting Palps on the defensive. In force fighting (throwing senate pods) palps was backing up Yoda. I believe though that they could have held eachother off for several hours if Yoda haden't lost his saber there. Sometimes the stronger fighter loses (ie Maul losing to Obi), and i'm glad to see that they portrayed Yoda as at least being a very good fight for palps, and could even see him winning in a rematch. Yoda's the man
Obi vs Anakin: I thought that Anakin was supposed to kick obi's ass, and obi gets lucky somehow like he always does. However, in the duel they were totally even. Neither had the advantage at any time really. Even when they both tried to force push eachother, they both got hit against the wall. I was surprised that Obi beat Anakin in a straight up duel with no luck involved.
All three duels surprised me. Anyone else?
