You're a laugh, tdtd. Thing is, you ARE a troll. Don't you remember being BANNED for it? There are NO grounds for bashing, you've worked up your reputation, and being an ass about people calling you a troll isn't helping it, is it?
Tdtd isnt a troll, he is 100% sincere in everything he says.
Rather, Mace tools Luke with the lightsaber form he created and mastered, half a century of being the creme de la creme of his Order, superior Force power and mastery, and his unique shatterpoint ability. As to the strength issue: Mace was on the verge of crushing a Korun guerilla fighter's arm with his grip, landed a blow on Kar Vastor that picked him off of the ground and hurled him several feet away, and fended off a crazed Billaba with several broken or fractured bones, blaster buns, and a hole in his stomach.
And we've seen Luke form a shield around himself to block AT AT fire, be good enough to square off with Vader (ROTJ novelization the source there), and he's also good and strong enough to strike the fire back at said war mech...even by DE, Luke's skills are extremely formidable, especially after learning the forbidden Jedi and Sith arts.
But, feel free to argue against my opinion on the Leia thing...might be the source book was wrong, might be that it wasn't. Nothing big enough to launch pages long debates over
Mace's shatterpoint ability isn't infallible either...Case in point: Sidious and Anakin.
And this isn't the same Palpatine that Mace fought in Coruscant...this is the 'living embodiment of the Dark Side' Palpatine, whose final, and achievable goal was to shed loose his mortal body and become the Dark Side

DE Sidious is far more powerful than ROTS Sidious, I thought this was self-evident.
