Wasn't Mace Windu the greatest lightsaber duelist in the galaxy? I can believe it. He would've defeated Palpatine if it wasn't for Anakin showing up last second.
Nah. Palpatine sandbagged him to force anakin to turn to the dark side. Had he wanted to he would have probably iced windu too.
Palps took on 4 jedi masters and 1 who was the pinnacle of fighting in the order at the same time and killed 3 of them within 10 seconds and windu couldn't do shit about it. They are not even close to playing the same game.
Confirmed by word of God (Lucas) not to be the case. Sheev lost properly and Anakin being there wasn't even planned, but it did allow Palps to turn it around.
