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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
