Palpatine Vs. Mace - Lucas closes the debate for good!

I just bought the DVD of ROTS (as im sure all of you did too)

and listing to the commentary by GL during the palpatine arrest scene he specifically says that Palpatine was faking and was not really beaten.

listen to it yourself, thanks GL for shutting up all the mace fanboys once and for all!

on another not he also ends the debate on whether or not Anakin actually beat Dooku fair and square. and he did. Anakin won because he was better then Dooku

its all there in the commentary by GL

thanks for finally putting an end to these debates! cause when it comes to SW, what GL says goes and he said it!

they forgot to ask him is palps face was melted or unmasked 🙁

💃 definately worthy of the dancing fruit

We knew it all along! 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰

WRONG.

He says Palpatine was faking weakness AFTER the duel, during the Lightning part.

No-one ever disputed that. People were disputing whether Mace won the duel or not- which he clearly did. In fact, as GL says heonly put the 'Palpatine fake begging' part in afterwards as an afterthought, that clearly suggests he simply at first has Mace winning and Anakin stopping him.

So you can wipe those triumphant feelings away. I was actually waiting for the first person to come along and make a mistake by saying this.

He did end the debate about the balance of the force. 😄

But even though he didn't say it, it doesn't change what is explicitly shown on screen...

Well, that argument has gone about as far as it can go. But the idea that GL has sorted it out is false.

No, this doesnt change the fact Mace could still be alive. 😄 😄

Yeah, of course Mace can just cling to something with one arm after being electrocuted and thrown into an abyss.
He's probably climbing to the surface of the city right now with his remaining arm! We'll see him again in episode 7!

Why does Lucas refuse to talk about this subject? RIGHT!! This IS proof of another trilogy! Muhahaha!! I've finally figured it out!!

Dude, I hate you.

crybaby

You sound just like my cousin (mace=badass). www.starwars.com
I will use the argument I had prepared against him. He was dead before he even hit the ground, the lightning killed him.

He also thinks that Mace got plastic surgery and was actually Lando.

one small detail i noticed in that duel on dvd...is it me? or do Mace's eyeballs explode just as he's about to be thrown out the window.

That's why sooo many people die in Star Wars: the lack of railings. So many people fall to their deaths! Think of all the people who would have lived if not for a few safety railings:

Ep 1: Obi-Wan falls off the deck and can't get back in time to save Qui-Gon.

Ep 2: The dinosaur Jedi gets blasted over the railing, so it should have been higher.

Ep 3: Mace Windu falls out a window without a railing outside, surely against code.

Ep 4: Death Star Stormtroopers fall by Luke & Leia swing and at the hanger.

Ep 5: Bespin has railings, sure, but they lightsaber-through it, and hop over it, and finally jump!

Ep 6: They finally put some railings in, but Luke cuts through it, and then Vader throws someone over it! What good are railings if you throw people over them??

weird.. anyway dude Palpatine was faking. Did you see Yoda kick his ass? Do you think Mace can hop like that? Hell no! Mace is a weakling compared to Darth Vader (ep 3 before burning occurred) and Sidious and Yoda. Well not a weakling but he is weaker.

I gotta agree with Ushgarak on this one. If Mace is so weak as to be manipulated throughout an entire fight to the death, how the heck did he get to be the #2 jedi in the galaxy anyway? If it makes me a "Mace fanboy" then it makes me one, but how can you not like a jedi with that much attitude thats still fighting for the right side? Why are so many people SOOOOOOOOo determined to prove that Windu was nothing?
