It really isn't.
Look, Enyalus, you seem rather smarter than kotor3 here, which is interesting since you use the same retarded syllogism that he does. Don't tell me that my statements are irrelevant when your own ally in this debate, who shares the same opinion of the end result that you do, is siding with me on prescribed logic. That is the very definition of failure on your part to prove your point. Even Lightsnake, who hasn't sided one way or the other, is agreeing with my logic. Not yours. You are not doing your job. Don't lecture those of us who do. That will get you ignored by the rest of us.
There are two more combatants that Sidious has to deal with here. Even if we use your example of Dooku Force Gripping and tossing Obi-Wan away, in the time it took to do that Anakin was on him instantly afterwards in a saber duel. He could have engaged him even sooner, if he hadn't stopped and turned around to watch what was happening to his friend.
I seem to be repeating myself. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. I'm clearly insane since my expectation here is for you to comprehend this. Count Dooku was able to overpower the Jedi Order's greatest and most experienced duo, despite the fact that he was driven back and on the verge of a shut down. Do you understand? He was being overwhelmed by lightsabers and still managed to use the Force at a point where he was almost comatose from a lack of energy to continue the fight. Emperor Palpatine is far more powerful than Dooku and will not be so desperate. If Dooku can do it with simple telekinesis, Palpatine can do it as well, with more permenant results.
Stop being dense.
You're going to tell me that Yoda and Mace, both of whom are incredibly fast (especially when Mace is submerged in Vaapad),
I've proven that it took numerous seconds for Windu to submerge himself in Vaapad to counter Sidious circa RotS. It's not instantaneous nor is it close. I'll also point out that it will undoubtably take him even longer to match the even greater physicality and conditioning of Palpatine circa DE. Only Yoda is remotely as fast as Sidious, and that was circa RotS. Nothing indicates he's as fast as Sidious here. Your entire point relies on flaws and the unprovable. I'm not going to assume that they can compete with the reborn Emperor in speed until you prove it.
Stop being dense.
could not cross the distance and engage Sidious in a saber duel while he's dealing with Obi and Ani? If so, that's what is ridiculous.
What's ridiculous is that you are blindly assuming Windu and Yoda rival the Galactic Emperor in speed now and that they will be all over him in the time it takes him to wave his hand. Stop using kotor3's copyrighted brand of immeasurable stupidity.
Furthermore, as I've already said two or three times now, Yoda and Mace aren't going to stand there and watch Sidious do such a thing.
They won't have a choice. You can't prove they can move faster than it takes him to wave his hand.
Stop being dense.
They have Force attacks, too, you know. Mace's demostration of Force Crush
Windu doesn't compete with the Emperor in terms of Force strength, potential, affinity, or mastery. Prove that his Force crush on the likes of General Grievous will work on the Emperor.
Stop being dense.
and Yoda's demonstration of Force Push on Sidious himself show that.
Palpatine was Force pushed across the room when he was laughing he wasn't in combat stance nor does anything indicate that he was prepared for it. Moreover, that was Revenge of the Sith-era Palpatine. Prove he can do it here.
Stop being dense.
Even if they don't rush in to cross blades, they're going to counter-attack and screw up his concentration.
They won't cross blades initially. Prove it.
Except that your conclusion isn't true at all.
Yes, you're clearly a master logician...
Even when Mace is defenseless and Sidious hits him with the full power of his Force Lightning, he does not get vaporized, he does not die.
RotS-era Sidious. Not DE.
Stop being dense.
I've already listed five examples of his lightning not killing powerful Force users. Here's two more: in Dark Empire itself, he hits Leia with Force Lightning. He hits Luke with Force Lightning. Both survive. Granted, he wasn't trying to kill either of them. But Leia was pregnant. She wasn't harmed at all. Neither was Anakin Jr.
Oh, Jesus Christ. You're hopeless.
a.) "HE WASN'T TRYING TO KILL EITHER ONE OF THEM" pretty much sums this the **** up, doesn't it?
b.) Since when does being pregnant with a phenomenally powerful child weaken either parent or child? Prove it.
The team survives his Force assult long enough to close the distance for a duel.
Nope. Prove it. And stop being dense.
Then Sidious dies.
Nope. Prove it. And stop being dense.
Or, Sidious' defense goes down while he's using the Force to harm someone on the team, and Yoda or someone else counter-attacks with the Force before he can do any permanant harm.
Nope. Prove it. And stop being dense.
He can't win.
Nope. Prove it. And stop being dense.
This is the final time we're going over this. Reevaluate your argument and make your points better or make new ones. But anything that makes me repeat myself verbatim will just put you permenantly on ignore. I have no respect for intentional stupidity, regardless of who it is from.
