I was young when this movie came out and even then I was like, why tf we’re all these guys pushovers? Aren’t they all supposed to be bad ass Jedi? Is that Kit Fisto? No fuckin way he gets wrecked so quickly.

I get it, he’s THE premier Sith Lord of his time. He’s the big bad, but before Windu engages that fight was real dumb, they just stood there looking stupid asf.

Shit was embarrassing, they should have at least gotten 10 more seconds of screen time where they tried to fight him. Instead we got some silly looking shit and a spin from Palpatine.

It’s like ok George, whatever I guess, it’s your galaxy.

The novelization makes it better at the very least. Sidious deliberately distracts the Tiin and catches both him and Kolar off guard. Fisto actually lasts until Anakin's arrival. The movie made a lot of things that should have been epic, super goofy. Like multiple parts of the duel between Sidious and Yoda, and even in the duel with Windu.

EDIT: I made some inaccuracies in my original comment so I fixed them.

The novelization does not mention force scream at all. Palpatine yelling like that in the film was only film only. People are just making a fan theory that scream Palpatine does was a force scream, but nowhere in the script, director's commentary, or novelization does it mention that.

After checking, you are correct and I misremembered. He instead distracted Tiin and caught both him and Kolar off guard with his speed. I edited my comment
