Originally posted by HybrisSidious (the one we're using) took out three of the finest swordsmen the Jedi Order had ever produced within seconds. He took on Mace Windu and did rather well before losing. Same with Yoda. And that's after being at LEAST 13 years out of practice. Sidious is f*cking amazing with a lightsaber.
Have to disagree there. If Sids was so superior when it comes to saber skills, why didn't he use his lightsaber during the fight then?I'll tell you: for the same reason he didn't go head to head with Yoda but tried to keep a distance and beat him using the Force.
Sidious is a beast when Force attacks are involved, but he's not as superb with a lightsaber.
And the reason he didn't use it against Marek is the reason he never used it against Luke. Overconfidence in his superior Force powers.
