you don't think Palpatine could have been using the force slow technique or something similar to weaken the others. I remember something about the in a book that a Force user was able to slow down the attacks of other like they were moving through mud or water and take advantage in a duel. maybe Mace and Fisto lasted longer because one wasn't affected and the other wasn't affected as much
Yeah, no. Just the movies here. And the movies don't explain shit.

so during the fight scenes you need them to break the fourth wall and tell everyone what was happening

idk if you ever saw Dragonball when Jackie Chun fought krillin and they had to stoop fighting to explain the fight that happen cuz they moved to fast. it was for comedy but probably wouldn't work with dead jedi all over the floor

Can't we just say that scene was wrong on all counts: idea, execution on set and editing.

No, I want the characters in the film to discuss at some point prior to the action the capabilities you just listed that you want them to possess. I don't know how they would inject them in to the film's script--the entire screenplay for the film needs a top-to-bottom overhaul--but it needs to be done. As it is, the "Force slowing technique" or whatever, is something that you just made up to justify what the scene lacked: an explanation for what happened.

If a movie requires the audience to come up with excuses for it, then it isn't a very good movie.

Characters discussing stuff... OMG, didn't the PT have way too much of that already?

Hence the total overhaul.

Ah...
