Should the Mace/Sideous fight be redone?

But we don't know if Sidious let Windu win. That would also mean he liked the melted face look he had in stor for himself.

I think Sidious let Windu "win" so Anakin could intervene, therefore Mace was not superior.

I really doubt, if he had let himself into the dire position and Anakin had left or refused, he would've let Windu's saber touch him, either with lightning or a force push. Nobody's probably cutting through Sidious' lightning. But he knew Anakin was going to turn.

New Jedi strategy?

I mean come on, get a clue.

There is no clue.

not you, man, that singe dude.

I know tempers can flare in here but let us try and respect each other at least as fellow debaters. No need to make it personal. I agree with queeq I doubt Sidious allowed himself in to the position Mace put him in. Mace was just that good. And we know that Palpatine does not know every single detail of what will happen but he takes great advantage of it anyway.
IE he did not know the Naboo occupation would fail but he certainly adapted to it, and the loss of Maul.

Palpy wasn't arrogant enough that he couldnt learn from his mistakes. He realized after Maul was defeated where he erred in his training.

Indeed and he moved on with his plans slightly modified.

and yes, Mace OWNED Sidious. I laugh when people say otherwise.

He takes chances but usually those chances do not require such personal risk to himself. He took a gamble on Anakin, but no I don't think he planned every moment from the time he first revealed his sith identity to Anakin.

Besides, we don't know how long it had been that Sidious had even been in a proper lightsaber duel. Sure he no doubt sparred with Maul but an all-out fight? He was good, but out of practice IMO.

out of practice=b!tch got pwned.

On this we can agree, Commander.

And yet, he wiped out three lame Jedi before he got to fight Mace.

The other three were not as skilled in their attack as Mace was. He got them mostly by suprise whereas Mace had a chance to fight him properly.

He got the first two by surprise. Kit Fisto was able to counter, but if you watch closely, he had little room to work with. Had they been in an open area, Kit would have lasted a bit longer.

That is true I had honestly forgot about Kit. That was a shame he fell so fast.

He had to worrt about Palpys attacks, as well as being careful not to impale Mace with his own saber. If you notice, Mace retreats immediately, to give himself more room.

True, they had very little room to manuever, I wonder if that was part of Palpatine's plan when he knew they would be coming for him. I know they may not be canon, but Clone Wars demonstrates Kit was a very good duelist.

that could be argued, I think that a Sith chooses his battlegrounds more carefully than a Jedi.
