>sith master kills jedi is somehow stupid

fuck off,

He's repenting for his treason.

What seems to be the problem here?

Well you're probably wondering how I got here but my screen time is short and i was a shit jedi anyway so let's just continue this awful movie.

smoking yodas secret kush before going to confront the sith lord probably wasnt the best idea

...

Yes the prequels were stupid and Yoda and Sheev should have never got into CGI battles, what was cool about them in the OT is they were never flipping around.

why didn't he just womp off sheevs head he had a clear shot

The Sith Scream really threw him off.

This. They were past fucking swords. They were the King pieces on the chess board.

yep
to sort of quote RLM, they were "beyond that" if you will
it was implied that Sheev could just throw Luke into the pit if he wanted, or stop his heart

careful not to overlook the devastating effects of the sheev spin.

The best expanded universe introduction ever was Force Meditation.

Basically the Emperor was single-handedly hive-minding all of the Imperial troops in the final battle, and when he died they all lost connection and got disoriented.

Battle Meditation, sorry.

It's like if Julius Caesar out stabbed Brutus and Cassius.

It is Shakespearen.

Thank you Lucas for your gift

Those three Jedi were considered the best duelists in the order, only behind Mace (and not by much), in lore the one with the two horns was so good he exchanged lightsaber with Mace Windu for a time which is considered a honor and means youre that good, etc etc etc. Then they all die in 1 second

Not Nearly as stupid as Rey, a novice in the force picking up a light saber. And if you even think of saying TFA is a return to the spirit of the Force I will find you and gink you with a pen in your bloody side. Sheev is fine. Rey is not.

You don't have a right to say what George wanted and what he only ever managed to pull off with moderate effects. Them flipping about spinning swords truly showed them to be versatile Force users. You stinking stiffs and your RLM quotes makes me sick.

I love how RLM overlooks the Shit Awakens entire Who has the map to Luke Charade. But quickly attacked every aspect of this film. They're a bunch of stinking hacks.


Anakin, had he known this, would have been fine. Sheev literally jumps towards his opponents, saber twirling about. Even if they had the high ground,they couldn't counter his attack other than to get out of the way, or block it.

No one cares about EU nonsense

From time to time I hear the theory that Sheev was just playing time with Windu and could have killed him at any moment, if he pleased. He was aware that Anakin was on his way, so he kept Windu alive until that. Also Sheev being far beyond Windu's skills is why he could beat the other 3 jedis instantly.

Yep. Only American creations matter

Yoda, Anakin, Mace Windue and Obi-Wan were on a tier of their own, those three were just the faggots next up after the powergap.

Sheev was not at all beyond Windu. You don't get beyond Windu because he knows almost immediately what you want to do to him and counters it, that's how his shatter point works. However, he did not look at his own shatter point, his trust in Anakin. Sheev was okay with losing because he saw Anakin coming to his aide. And we're talking Saber battles. Sheev was defeated by Windu's saber. Sheev could have easily blown Windu away with his force lightning. Remember how Yoda tried to stop Sheev's force lightning and the two of them were blown back. Sheev engineered the whole, Force burning his face fiasco. That's how his face always was. He wanted to fool Anakin into helping him.

>You don't have a right to say what George wanted
>what George wanted
Fuck off, the guy's an idiot and the only reason Star Wars is anything is because of the designs and work of other people.

>lore

So EU fanfiction?

Not that Windu gave much of a fight either.

>Sith master kills 2 Jedi masters without a fight

You prequel apologists are something else

>shatter point
Not canon. Also a dumb concept.

How powerful IS the sheev spin? Is this why Yoda didn't let Obi-Wan go to fight sheev because it's so powerful? He countered THREE(3) JEDI MASTERS who had the high ground with it

Why didn't sheev teach anakin the sheev spin, he just tried a backlip that's a good trick

>How powerful IS the sheev spin
maximum

No, it came directly from the visual enciclopedia which was the highest cannon among with the movies before Disney, Disney removed those as cannon and released their own visual enciclopedias

You don't get to be the top Sith for decades without being powerful.

Sheev was legitimately disarmed by Windu, but the idea that he was powerless and helpless afterwards was just a show he was putting on for Anakin

Shit like this is why Disney purged the EU

>Disney removed those as cannon and released their own visual encyclopedias

So what you're saying is that this nonsense is nothing but fan fiction. Thanks for clarifying.

Your weak strawman aside, it was canon at the time of the movie, so his point remains.

It was stupid.

Why are you discussing what is and what isn't stupid with Star Wars again?

That you think canon is a thing that matters to a film is proof that you are lost.

EU material exists to appeal to a specific autistic demographic, it has no meaning to normal people watching and actually understanding a film.

Can you post the page? I remember the visual dictionary saying they were the best duelists outside of Yoda Obi-wan and Anakin, who were all preoccupied at th time Mace went to take down Sheev.

...

...

It doesn't even matter. It doesn't need to come from some book for basic logic to say that Mace presumably would take his best available Jedi to arrest Sheev.

The choreography just sucks. Two of them just stand there and let him kill them. There's no problem with him killing the other three in some kind of skillful 4 on 1 battle but they were supremely lazy and just made the three Jedi he came with look like plonkers.

It makes more sense if Mace, Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin were in a league of their own, because they're the only ones that have direct experience with Sith lords and show any kind of proficiency in lightsabers throughout the series.

Conversely, other Jedi Masters like the dinosaur Jedi in Attack of the Clones were absolutely shit-tier, suggesting that even the average Jedi Master has no real dueling proficiency, which makes sense considering the Sith were thought to be extinct.

>How powerful IS the sheev spin?
Unlimited

Then of course the Clone Wars cartoon which IS canon shows all these Jedi as skilled and intelligent, which makes their made into total idiots for Episode 3 extra lame.

>literally gets thrown into a pit
ya'll are retarded

They just stand there and let him kill them. That's retarded.

Brilliant

Holy shit the expanded universe is pure retardation

why does he not use his lightsaber in ROTJ

I like how the novelization of this tried to rationalize it as Sheev moving so fast that none of the Jedi Masters had time to react

Yes, but when did they learn that lightsabers were pointless? Maybe from the Clone wars when jedi knights(a religious order) were considered guardians of the galaxy mentioned by a certain sand hermit? ALSO, Yoda does not dismiss or accept being a warrior when Luke calls him a "Great Warrior", only cryptically replying while looking off into the distance that wars make not one great? OT elitist interpretations of lore are based on muh feelings and not payinng attention during the movie. Thank god I outgrew this shitty kid franchise.

>Basically the Emperor was single-handedly hive-minding all of the Imperial troops in the final battle, and when he died they all lost connection and got disoriented.
That's Sauron
