[B]Pathetic. As usual.
1. The novelization makes clear after hearing this? Mace consults with Yoda and they decide to arrest Palpatine. He does NOT go immediately to Palpatine's office. Point 1 down
Actually, he consults with Yoda before hearing this which is still contradicted by the higher level canon because that consultation happens in the command center and Anakin moves right in there after it to reveal Sidious identity. Mace isn't in the command centre but in the hangar when that happens and he doesn't believe Anakin.
So we're now going to take scenes contradicting the movie as canon because of your fanboy attitude? Nice try, Lightsnake.
2. They're 'replacement' council member.s and? Any reason to doubt their worthiness on the council suddenly when everything supports their skill?
You mean "everything" with the exception of Lucas quote and the fact that they get cut down by a Sith Lord because not managing to come up with a sufficient defense in more than six seconds which is another G-Canon source.
Once again: Kenobi's thoughts > George Lucas?
Or, more realistically, he let him kill High Council Jedi to show how dangerous he was. Oh my GOD! The best Jedi ever are better than three other great Jedi! I mean, this must mean Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow are canon fodder given they were less powerful than Marka Ragnos!
In comparison to Ragnos, they apparently are cannon fodder, given how they worship his freaking spirit and Kressh thought that the freaking ionized air-particiles of Ragnos could destroy Sadow...
Red herring again. It gets old.
Yeah, Lucas placed them below the three best duelists in the movies. I fail to see how this makes them suck
Who says they suck, Lightsnake. I'm just contesting Kenobi's idea that they are "some of the best swordsman ever produced by the Order". Do you get it now? There are more shades to skill than "You're godlike" and "YOU SUCK!"
Poor deluded Nai. Novelization makes clear that after Anakin informs him of this, Mace goes to conact and tell Yoda and they decide to 'take the Republic back.' Mace assembles the team afterwards. Oh, I'm afraid this is canon, unless Mace ever tells anyone. "We went STRAIGHT to the Chancellor's office with no stops!
Poor deluded Lightsnake. The novelization has the talk between Mace and Yoda happen before Anakin stumbles into the room, not even able to talk any more and Mace just figures out that Sidious is the Sith Lord - without Anakin telling it to him. And this scene is completely contradicted by the movie. It's simply not there. So it's O-U-T.
Yeah, calling them 'strongest Jedi warriors" means nothing.
You're wrong. Just ****ing man up.
Pulling the words out of the novel, where they are issued by Kenobi, without a reason there. Really. Are you retarded?
Yeah, calling him a mighty warrior? Means NOTHING! Despite how being on the council in wartime means something's going for him.
So everybody that ever moved his ass into a seat on the council belongs to the "best swordsman ever" department?!
That's the databank, which is 3rd person omniscient. It's not from his master's POV
That's Lightsnake talking in first person idiocy. It's a databank, for christs sake. It just sums up information. Is wikipedia also 3rd person omniscient? Holy crap.
It just says he had considerable skill. Not that it enabled him to survive there. What's your point?
That any Jedi has considerable skill. Hell. An ape being able to juggle with balls has "considerable skill". You get the point now?
Apply that with EVERYTHING ELSE and it means at least 'more than cannon fodder
And it still doesn't result in "best swordsman the order has ever produced" which is what you want to prove here.
Yeah, BAD CHOREOGRAPHY is a great thing to attack despite you attacking Nebaris over using that against Mace vs. Palpatine.
So we take the novel version, where Sidious distracts Tiin, making him lower his defense and spins over the desk with the lightsaber ignited and beheads him in a split second - instead of giving a freaking monologue with an ignited lightsaber in hand without moving
Really. What do you want? Either Sidious has to trick them in order to make one of them lower his defenses and then attack them with a previously concealed lightsaber, which means he didn't kill them we just his lightsaber skill. Or he did stand up, ignites his lightsaber, has a nice chat, jumps to the Jedi, does a nice stabbing movement - without Kolar an Tiin feeling any need to come up with an reaction.
What is it now, Lightsnake? You can chose the version you like (which is already defying the LFL canon policy that clearly states movie > novel), but the result, in either case, is that Sidious didn't butcher "some of the best swordsman ever" with his superior lightsaber skill. He either tricked some of the best, or fought against statues totally devoid of reaction time.
