get this strait, man. These guys did not hold still with an ignited lightsaber for 3 seconds while a padawan flipped over them, turned around, and skewered thim, with the exception of the latter guy that sideous killed.
With the exception of both Agen ad Saesee, who are considered to be 2 of the order's greatest swordsmen.
you think sideous suspected his 30 year long main homie was going to sneak up behind him and throw him in a botomless pit?
You think that Maul suspected this padawan to come at him and cut him in half? Plus Sidious knows how it works, the Sith Lord (Vader) is supposed to take out the Dark Lord (Sidious).
Sideous was supposed to monologue for 30 seconds more in the sids vs yoda fight, then draw his saber, and charge yoda, not say a few words then instantly whip out a lightning bolt that moved as quick as, well, lighting!
WTF? 🤨 It doesn't matter what you think should have happened, all that matters is what did happen. Sidious didn't raise his hands quick as lightning, either, he raised them at about the same speed as Dooku raised his hands in AOTC when he was gonna shoot lightning at Yoda.
Lee is an old man when fighting anakin, and the 1 second interval was because of this, and because anakin expected the attack to come from somewhere else.
What does Dooku's age have to do with him cutting off Anakin's arm? And, he thought Dooku's attack was going to come from somewhere else so he just stood there? What did he think, Dooku was going to aim his blow right at Anakin's unmoving saber? Lol, no, if Maul sucks for what happened in TPM then Yoda, Anakin, Sidious, Tiin, Kolar and probably others suck as well.The point I am trying to make is, none of these people suck and neither does Maul. Even Jedi and Sith make stupid-ass mistakes sometimes, or are sometimes slow in reacting.
Maul only needed to move his lightsaber the tiniest angle to deflect the body slicing kenobi's ninjalike move.
Tiin only needed to move his the tiniest of an angle to block Sidious's lightsaber, same with Kolar, and Yoda only needed to raise his hands a tiny bit more to block Sidious's lightning, and AOTC Anakin only had to move his lightsaber a tiny bit to block Dooku's atatck, which cut off his arm. Hey, then Yoda would have came and Dooku would have been f*cked cause he'd be facing both Jedi at once. Anakin could just block the way to his ship so he can't escape while Yoda kicks his butt.
