Actually I don't believe that palps could have, I was simply pointing out that it is still a debatable point. Personally, I do believe that Windu beat palps outright. I have to believe that. Anakin is the main character in the movie, and it seems to me that he did very little to effect the outcome. The clones killed most of the Jedi's, and palps rose to power on his own. What the hell did Anakin do?
I have to believe that the main character had something to do with all of it. The only thing left, is that palps actually did need Anakin to save his life. I doubt Windu could beat palps, but Anakins role is totally diminished to nothing if Anakin didn't actually save palps life.
