Darth Subjekt
The beginning of the end.
There was...while Anakin was the more powerful of the two, he couldn't think clearly and instead of controlling his emotions, his emotions controlled him, and thusly left him without a leg to stand on...literally.
Sidious did look weaker against Mace, but not really til Anakin was almost there, as he did force Mace into a defensive position a few times. And according to the commentary, GL states that they changed the movie to where Anakin had to see all that to convert, as the first version, he was already a SIth and had to help Sidious kill Mace. So yea, that could go either way. I don't think Yoda's fights were equal per se, i just think he tried harder against a more deadly opponent, and it appeared the same...i guess that could be a lame excuse, but it's how i saw it.
I also have always said his turn to the darkside was too fast and easy...he could have force pushed Sids right out the damn window. But then, like GL said, he'd done too much to go back and be accepted by the Jedi, they'd either arrest him or kill him...so why go back, and if you think its the only way to save your wife...eh, ya know...
Yea, Anakin/Padem scenes were whack, except the first one...to me.
I wasn't much of a GG fan either.
In any case, ESB beats it.
