I agree with Dodo. He watched Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, as did I, while everyone else watched Star Wars Episode III-and-a-half: Revenge of the Sith but Not Quite Because Windu Lives and Palpatine Sucks. 😛Since I AM JEDI is going to ask for it, and not go find the threads regarding Mace Windu vs. Darth Sidious... *sigh*

A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...
[b]STAR WARS
EPISODE III
REVENGE OF THE SITHPalpatine was playing Mace Windu the entire time. Here is my proof, which Devil Dodo was also providing, for you to ignore it was very silly and pointless...
At the start of the fight, Palpatine whips out his lightsaber and in two or three swings, he manages to stab Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin, both accomplished swordsmen, Jedi Masters, and Council members. They die in mere seconds after the fight begins. After sparring with Mace and Kit Fisto for a few moments, he manages to slash Kit Fisto across the stomach, and he too is an accomplished swordsman, Jedi Master, and Council member.
Now, Mace Windu goes on the retreat, Palpatine pushing him back.
At this point, we see Anakin debating whether he should be there or not, and he leaves the Temple.
Also at this point, Mace Windu starts to own Palpatine. Why? Because Palpatine can sense Anakin is on his way.
They continue fighting, Mace smashes the window approximately the same time as Anakin's landing. Palpatine loses his lightsaber just seconds before Anakin walks in. Why? Because Palpatine can sense Anakin is in the building.
Mace Windu has Palpatine at lightsaber point, and is ready to kill him. Anakin says that they shouldn't, it's not the Jedi way. Palpatine starts pleading for his life like a cowardly fool, after his face-melting barrage of lightning, but constantly looks to Anakin with an insidious glare after each whiney, begging comment about the Jedi trying to kill him and take over the Republic.
When Anakin takes action and literally disarms Mace Windu, Palpatine springs to his feet as if he had been winning the entire time. Palpatine cooks Mace Windu like a large black sausage, then hurls him out the window. Mace Windu, lacking an arm and in intense pain from the lightning assault, falls to his death, unable to do anything to stop his fall.
Later on, Palpatine fights Yoda. During this fight, they are sparring equally the entire time. Palpatine and Yoda meet one another blow for blow, and though you can tell Palpatine fears Yoda, fear can always be turned to the advantage of a Sith Lord; they feed their powers off of negative emotion. In the end, Yoda is defeated, because Sidious has disarmed his lightsaber and tossed him a very long way to the bottom of the Senate chambers. Sidious, once again, is victorious.

Summary: Palpatine easily kills three Jedi Masters, they begins to lose when he senses Anakin leaving the Temple, and then begins his ploy to pull Anakin to the Dark Side by putting his own life at risk.
Yes, he could have lost everything. Yes, Anakin could have not turned, and Mace would have killed Palpatine. Yes, Palpatine put all his plans at great risk to turn the Chosen One to the Dark Side. No, he is not weak. No, Mace Windu did not beat him. [/B]
SPOT ON, thats the same movie I saw.
I'm not going to restate it. Actually read my paragraph, word for word, and it makes sense.
I remember a rumor went around before the movie came out that Mace Windu and the other Jedi said their lines and Palpatine begged for mercy...WHILE hacking down the other three. Then, after that, he destroyed the microphone to a recording device he had just HAPPENED to leave lying around with the on switch activated.
Mace could've killed palp if anakin hadnt appeared. there's no proof that palp was faking his asswhooping. as for yoda being the strongest, in episode 2 palp even told anakin soemthink like "you've got the cunning of yoda and the strength of mace windu" that shows that even he thinks mace is more stronger whereas yoda is more manipulative with the force, and that's not the only reason he's the head of the council, he was also accepted in the council years before mace was, he's the oldest member.
If you're not going to bother even reading my argument, which most people agree with, then you can not even bother stating your own argument. Once again, my attempt at giving an educated answer is foiled by some new guy who does not back up his statements with good, solid facts that everyone accepts and just rants and rants about how he thinks his hero is the best and could beat everyone and anyone.
Just flippin ridiculous!
