First off, you guys are fools. Sidous offed three of the best Jedi in the Order in seven seconds flat. Sidious said Anakin will BECOME more powerful. When he reaches full potential. Seriously, this is stupid.
For the last freakin' time, Anakin was not as powerful as Sidious in ROTS, or any time in his life for that matter. Sidious said he would BECOME more powerful than he would, not that he already was. Key words are "IN TIME".
And Sidious was toying with the Jedi. You think he couldn't have killed Agen, Sasee, and maybe Kit with Force at the start? I can't believe this discussion has come this far.
I don't know. Sidious uses a sith form of form IV which isn't that good against more then 1 opponent. Sidious doesn't use the force in lightsaber duels unless he is pushed against the wall like Mace and Yoda. Sidious was clearly outmatched by Yoda so he had no choice but to distance himself from him. I mean Dooku is more aglie the Sidious was. Plus I'm sure Obi-Wan and Anakin both doing force push against Sidious would overpower him. But Sidious may win the fight if he can use the field to his edge.
He cut down three average Jedi Councillors in no time at all. He could do the same against them. His lightsaber style wasn't all that good but i'm sure he would manage to hold on. I mean he clearly lost a lightsaber fight from Mace but thats to be expected. And he would use the force in this duel. He just didn't use it against Mace because he thought he could win, he was wrong of course.
When did he use the force against Mace? When he was backuped in a corner and had to use lighting. Yoda when he knew Yoda would win so he threw pods but Sidious would overpower Obi-Wan like Dooku did and then defeat Anakin. But who knows. Dooku may have been stronger then Sidious since Dooku had 7 or 8 decades of training and Sidious was in his what 60s? Plus Sidious had that time in the Senate where he couldn't train because the Jedi may have sensed him.
