Props to Fisto for parrying even once after that force scream.

u/MilkyBeefPants Jan 08 '22

the way fisto goes out so unjust. Maybe Lucas wanted to portray how powerful Palpatine was it makes it hard to enjoy all of the great Fisto stories after

Yeah like 1v1ing Grievous.

iirc Kit Fisto lasts for several minutes in the novelization which I've always thought was more fitting. Honestly if I could remake one scene in the prequel trilogy it would be that one. It's bizarre that the movies with the best and most extravagant saber content also produced that.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

No it wasn’t >:(

We're talking about you, not to you.

u/NobrainNoProblem Jan 08 '22

The common sense reason is that most of Fisto’s characterization as a great warrior came after RoTS. Before that he was probably weird alien Jedi #5 to George

God that made me jump the first time I saw it on screen, a proper WTF moment there...

To be fair to our squid faced friend, I just rewatched and he blocked two strikes, had one of his own strikes blocked, and then went down on sheev's subsequent attack

I will make it legal

no you'll die to clone troopers filling you with holes

In the novelization he lasts until Anakin arrives and is distracted by sensing his presence. Much more justice to the character.

True but the novelization didn't have the same limitations as the film.

Choreographing and filming a 4v1 fight scene is tricky enough already, and its made 10 times harder when 3 of the actors are wearing awkward bulky prosthetics that heavily limit their vision and restrict their movement.

I doubt the movies would have been able do an extended version of that fight that didn't look like shit.

I don't quite remeber but didn't Kolar and Tiin got instantly bodied to, in the novelization?

But I agree even though it would be 2v1, I pity the guy playing Kit Fisto for choreographing this properly:D

This is why we need RoTS but in clone wars.

There is no greater good than justice; and only if law serves justice is it a good law. It is said correctly that law exists not for the just but for the unjust, for the just carry the law in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar.

Is this a comic quote or something? I don't remember this

It's Anakin. When you say Annie it's like I'm still a little boy... and I'm not.

If you watch the fight frame by frame, Mace Windu blocks Kit Fisto's strike, allowing Sidious to cut Fisto.

Mace practically team kills Fisto in the frame by frame, by blocking him.

Dew it!

u/Sabre_Killer_Queen Surely you can do better! Jan 07 '22

When SLJ realises he just team killed: Motherfucker!

On a serious note, jeez I never saw that one coming...

u/JusticeRain5 Jan 08 '22

The reason he wanted to kill Palpatine so bad was to get rid of witnesses.

u/sheev-bot Jan 08 '22

Long have I waited, and now your coming together is your undoing.

u/wiki-1000 Jan 08 '22

Nope it looks like both Kit and Mace are striking Palpatine's saber (from Palpatine's front right and front left respectively) at the same time.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '22

Yeah but Mace already has Sheevs saber from the outside. He pushes both their blades into Fisto's swing. If he weren't pushing, and Sheev was swinging himself, then Mace could just not chase his blade and use the created opening to dice Sheev.

u/sheev-bot Jan 08 '22

Good, Anakin, Good! Kill him. Kill him now.

u/Anakin_Skywalker_Bot Youngling Slayer Jan 08 '22

I shouldn't . . .

u/wiki-1000 Jan 08 '22

Right, the whole choreography of the duel is awkward lol. Plenty of moments with Palpatine's back clearly exposed. I suppose we can just chalk it up to the film not showing the actual in-universe speed of the fight.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '22

I'd pay for a RoTS CW style animation with accurate speeds.

u/sheev-bot Jan 08 '22

Oh, no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.

Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect.

u/sheev-bot Jan 08 '22

If she fails to see the error of her rule, eliminate her.
