1. Well Mace and the three other knights were already going somewhere and heading towards a ship, when Anakin broke the news that Palpy was the sith Lord. There was no time to lose, so instead of going to their intended destination, Mace and the three others went to the office.
2. 4 jedi would normaly be enough for one sith lorf. But this is palpy and he was underestimated.
3.Besides imagine shooting a scene with 20 jedi vs one sith in a room. It'd be stupid.

What r u talking about ?? 😑 That would be bloody awesome! Just imagine 20 Jedi buzzing about - twenty blue, green (and one purple) lightsaber) versus one red one frantically deflecting multiple attacks at once!! The only reason they didn't do it is because Ian McDiarmid is too old to do such elaborate fight scenes, and doing it in CGI would have been so Matrix, and people would sh!t all over it after the movie.
Having said that, nothing beats the dramatic effect of a one-on-one duel, the cornerstone of Star Wars duels!
um....i beg to differ...
um....hey, man, i get what you're saying, but mace windu is supposedly the greatest Jedi warrior the council has, besides Yoda. And, he brings with him masters who fought in the Geonosis arena, one of the most well-renowned battles during the clone wars. Besides, almost all of the Jedi are gone fighting on other planets. Remember? Order 66? Anyways, just remember, man, The Great George Lucas knows all.

If I was a Jedi, I'd have to be the first one to say "Wait a minute, look, what the hell is all this twirling for anyways? Seriously, it's rubbish, and it makes me look more camp than C3PO in a field of tents".I mean, ANakin must have figurred it out. He must've been like "OK, that twirling and flip-flopping got my winky burnt, so f*ck that sh*t. I'm just gonna fight like a man from now on and get the job done, and maybe this time I can keep my robo-balls intact"
Secondly, what the hell was Mace doing anyway. He pretty much watched 3 of his good friends get wiped out. One would have been a bit hard to stop. Two would have been a fifty-fifty, but three?
I don't think Mace liked Kit Fisto to be honest. I mean as Fisto gets taken out Mace is off doing some sort of celebratory dance with his stupid purple lightsaber to commemorate his passing.
What is it with Jedi and The Dance?

Personally I think Mace was an idiot. Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar probably aren't as powerful as Ki-Adi Mundi and Plo Koon. Kit Fisto and Mace Windu are the only two powerful Jedi when they took on Sidious.Why didn't Mace wait for Yoda, Ki-Adi and Plo to return then take on Sidious?
Because they were all away fighting the seperatists, and this was a matter that needed to be dealt with immediately.

Does anyone have any idea why Agen Kolar had his back to Palpatine when he got wasted?
Because instead of fighting, Kolar was doing the Jedi Dance.
I mean, we all know Jedi were peacebringers, but the fact they always tried to diffuse a situation with The Dance is just asking for a lightsaber up your ass.
Now now, lets not be name calling.
I personally blame Nick Gillard for turning every fight into a ballet of rediculous proportions. He says he hates the OT fights, that they were awful, well at least they looked like fights with laser swords rather than some bizarre looking ritual involving Copeira dancing and glow sticks.
The rediculous fights and choreography hurts the drama in my opinion.
There's nothing that matches the desperation of Luke vs Vader on Bespin. Like when Vader grounds Luke ("It is useless to resist...."😉 and the way Luke is constantly trying to find ground. The fights were functional and complimented the story.
The fight in III should have complimented what Mace and the other 3 Jedi were actually doing. Instead, it's just Palpatine offing 3 Jedi, with twirls and all that crap while Mace does his own thing somewhere else. It isn't a functional fight, and Nick Gillard didn't do a good job of showing that the other Jedi couldn't help each other out, instead he just had them spinning around aimlessly, trying to make it look like they were doing something "important".
