Notice how terribly Palpatine fights with Mace and compare it to how he fights with Yoda on the rising platform. Palpatine seems much better with a sabre in the latter instance.
Not like it matters. Mace still managed to "overpower" Palpatine in one way or another... It would have made ALOT more sense if Palpatine faked his defeat however until Lucas goes crystal clear on the subject... Mace won.
By the way, Saying that Windu beat Sidious is like saying that Anakin beat Dooku. It's not that simple. In both fights it is skeptical as to weather they were faking (correct?), the Sith had other Jedi to deal with also (correct?), they didn't use their force powers, which probably would have won them the fight fast (correct?), and they were both over confident (correct?).
Dooku faking? Why would this be?
The only reason I can think as to why Dooku may have been holding back on Anakin was because, in my oppinion, he himself wanted Anakin as his apprentice so that together, they could destroy sidious...
And at the time, it was only Dooku vs Anakin... Obi-Wan was far from in his way.
I agree with you about them being over confident though.
Not that he would need to, but Vader could beat Kit. He would probably just hold him off and wait for Sidious to zap him in the back though.
... Kit losing to OT Vader? I disagree. Vader's technological restraints compared to Kit's unlimited vertebrae would prove very costly in a duel. The fact of the matter is that Kit is much more flexible and faster than Vader, and thus would be able to take him down no problemo.
OT Vader has pwned Knights and Masters before. None on Kit's level (besides Tsuy Choi, who he at least kept up with but was ultimately beaten) but he can keep up with people 'faster' than him. Given his large strength advantage, I say he could beat Kit after a long fight.
He's also alot smarter than Anakin. As a suit, he seems to know his limits more.
But really it could go either way. It depends whether Palpatine attempts to take Mace in a sabre brawl.
