Only cuz Anakin was cocky, the other 2 are nill factors cuz look at Obiwan and Maul. Obiwan is very cool and level-headed which is what gave him a powerful advantage over the Sith and even other Jedi.
Re: Was Mace Windu turning to the Dark Side ?

Is it possible that Mace Windu might have turned to the dark side at some point? I mean, in the fight with Palpatine, toward the end, he seems really angry. (Anger is the path to the dark side).When Anakin tries to talk him out of killing an unarmed man (Something that is against the jedi code of honour and a Jedi master like Windu should follow strictly) Windu says that palpatine is 'too dangerous to be kept alive', which is exactly what Palpatine says when Anakin is about to kill Dooku.
Was Windu perhaps showing hints of the dark side just before he died?
It's true that Dooku is the most skilled in lightsabre in the galaxy. Windu is outstanding, no doubt about that, but Tyranus is the best. HIs is graceful and elegant, but especially made for combat. AS i stipulated earlier, Jedi were mostly trained for defence from laser blasts. None of them were trained to fight against another light sabre.
And therefore comes the reality of the matter. The reason the 3 Jedi fell against Sidious. They were not prepared for hand to hand lightsabre combat. Their style is ready only for use against droids and so on. Windu on the other hand is prepared for Sidious. Obi Wan's combat is also made for deflcetion of laser bolts. Consqeunetly he wouldnt last against Sidious. Dooku is still the most talented swordmaster in the galaxy. Nobody could dispute this (with the possible exception of Yoda). I will go as far to say that Tyranus would best Sidoius in a lightsabre duel. Remember, a lighsabre combat is not the be all and end all.
