Chilled Monkey: are you really insinuating that Windu is more powerful than Palpatine. Ok, in that case that makes him more powerful than Yoda as well. Be careful of the way the movie presents it. Take a look at Lucas' original ideas and you'll be surprised at how the fight really should have gone. The only reason this happened was to keep people like you happy. After all, the Sith can't win all the time.
Please don't tell me that you though Sidious was serious when he was lying there saying 'im too weak, please don't kill me. Please'. It sounds so pathetically fake. Anakin's intervention was paramount. To say it wasnt intended would be outrageous. Oh yes, Palpatine didn't know Anakin was on his way. Of course he knew, he could FEEL it if you know what that means. He obviously fell for a purpose. TO convince ANakin that it wasn't an arrest, but an assasination, which was diabolically brilliant. Only the mind of a Sith could do that. Brilliant. Besides, then there's Yoda 'the dark side clouds everythign'. Hmmm. Wonder who that was? What a fool. It took Mace to wake everyone up. Still no one will deny what Palpatine did was brilliant. Even the Jedi didn't know.

More powerful, no. Windu won the fight because his skill is greater.
Yes, I know Palpatine was exaggerating hugely with his 'im too weak, please don't kill me. Please'. He is highly intelligent and good at turning situations to his advantage. His 'helpless' routine was done to get Anakin's support. Support that he NEEDED as he couldn't win alone.
