It's clear though at 1:03, Palpatine could have killd him, he didn't, because he needed to use the negro's death as a fulcrum for his ultimate plan, turning Anakin into his catamite.
No he couldn't, not without getting his head cut off. If he lunges forward mace decapitates him while getting stabbed.
It makes perfect sense for Palps to lose on purpose because of the whole turning Anakin to the darkside thing. It makes NO sense however for Palps to fight Mace with the intension of killing him. The people that believe this can honestly say that as powerful as Palps is, he couldn't sense Anakins presence and would be willing to jeopardize everything he planned so perfectly, just to kill another Jedi? Come on....

Mace has always been regarded as one of the most powerful Jedi period. Count Dooku is a nobody in the scheme of things.
You underestimate Dooku. He and Yoda faced off and considering how out-of-hand Yoda is, I think he did fairly well. It's not like he got owned or anything. So to say he is nowhere near Yoda's level is just plain underestimating him. And as for Grievous, how many Jedi, that were top tier, did GG take out? They frickin' feared him. Obviously Mace was capable of whoopin' on GG, but if not for Mace's Force Crush on him, he probably would've takin alot more Jedi out.

i know what scene youre talking about because its the one everyone brings up. if palpatine had tried to kill mace at that point he would have died. he made a common mistake people make in fencing.
Na, you even see the "what the ****, man" look on Mace's face, he knew Saltine was toying with him then, like a cat with a mouse.

Na, Mace had just recovered from his own attack and finished his silly spin, Palyteen could have easily hit him before Mace could have raise his sabre for a left-arc swing. The look is on his face, he knew.

no he couldnt... palpatine would have died if he moved forward. any movement aside from retreat would have been fatal. srsly, basic sword fighting.

His sabre was much closer to Mace's chest than Mace's sabre was to any point on Palps. Al things equal, shorter distance wins, basic logic.

Mace is an excellent duelist, but Palpatine is on another level.
