He threw the fight like Mark Coleman against Takada in Pride

We know that Yoda is about the same if not better than Windu, and Palpatine fought Yoda evenly. No way Palpatine loses that quickly to Windu. He didn't even use his force lightning until that gullible sap Anakin came in

Edit: I know Lucas said Windu won legitimately, but this is the guy that chickened out with the Jar Jar Binks as sith lord angle because of fan backlash, so excuse me if I don't fully take his word for it

Edit 2: yes there's that whole Vaapad shatter point thing, but for a guy as calculating as Palpatine, it's not like him to leave everything up in a duel. He used a lot more force power in his duel against Yoda and none here against Windu.

Here we go, lol. Mace won. No way Palpatine leaves his fate to Anakin. This is a guy who killed his master in his sleep, you think he leaves anything to chance??

Mace Windu is a stone cold Sith killing MFer. I don’t think Papa Palpatine threw the fight and intentionally disfigured himself. Also, that was the best plot device Lucas could come up with to turn Anakin to the dark side? I like ROTS but Anakin’s story arc to the dark side is #1 bullshit.

Palps threw the fight.

Remember before the fight he just casually admits to Anakin that he's the sith Lord they've been looking for?

And then Anakin says he's going to snitch and palps doesn't try to escape, he just casually sits and waits for windu to come arrest him.

Why would he do all that if he weren't in complete control the entire time?

He'd been setting up Anakin to defend him against windu.

He chose that moment to reveal himself because he knew windu was the only council member available. And he knew windu was the only Jedi council member that would kill him instead of arresting him.

And once Anakin saw palps was about to die, he would save him. Because that's the only way to save padme.

And if you're still not convinced, just watch the end of the fight again. Take note of how ridiculously dramatic palps is being "woe is me, I'm hurt, please don't let him kill me"

And the very second Anakin intervenes, notice how palpatine's face changes. Like he got what he wanted so he instantly drops the act.

That dude was always in control. Remember he does a similar thing with Luke. He lets Luke take a free swing at him with a light saber because he knew Vader would jump in and block it. Palps does this shit, he ain't afraid.

Yep. Plus Mace's style was tailor made to defeat Sith.

Yep. Plus Mace's style was tailor made to defeat Sith.

That too. Its almost as if he was praying that Anakin would do what he thought he would. He knew Mace wasnt like the other Jedis. Palps would never put his full faith in an emotional, flip flopping kid. He literally worked his ass off for decades only to throw a fight and be seconds away from death. No way he gambles like that.

Mace is a younger jedi master who literally crafted and perfected a style to fck Sith up. He was winning until bitch boy ran in and got all emo again.

If he only thrusted his saber lol

I thought Mace ended up flying out the window and dying and not by his choice to go out the window.
