The fact that he would have used Anakin's lightsaber now explains an old action figure from 2005. When they first released all the ROTS toys prior to the movie coming out, there was a Palpatine action figure from that scene where he had a blue saber instead of red. Because it was believed to be an error, it was quickly changed to red and the blue saber version became extremely rare. And even more interesting, that figure also seems to be holding Anakin's hilt. Guess now we know it was never an error after all

To add to what you correctly said, I think the scene would also have worked much better if Anakin had arrived AFTER Palpatine had had his force lightning reflected back at him. Anakin would then not know how it happened. He might assume Windu had done it. The shock value for him of seeing his friend disfigured would have been greater. Also as a plea for sympathy "Hey, Anni, I was just chilling in my office when he just burst in and attacked me, look what he did to my face!" works far better than "Hey, Anni, I know I just revealed my badass sith power which I lied to you about by trying to fry Mace alive like a chicken, but I'm just a nice, innocent old guy, honest!"

I disagree tbh, I think the scene is perfect as is. Lucas wasn't an idiot and this scene didn't happen in a vacuum. If anakin walked in afterwards his decision to help palpatine would've made him less responsible for what came after. He made the conscious decision to go against the Jedi here and join the sith, doing it your way would cheapen the choice he makes here and would have to happen later which may make anakin less susceptible overall and may result in him changing his kind

That kick Mace did to disarm Sheev should have ended with his leg being chopped off. But if Sheev sensed Anakin's arrival and gave up willingly, Mace would have sensed that shift in his focus and seen an opportunity for the kick. Perhaps, that was exactly what Sheev wanted in that moment. The fact that Sheev unleashed his full power only seconds later, after Anakin sliced Mace's hand off, is all the proof I need for this. But I understand people who root for Windu, he is played by one of the most awesome actors in history.

I understand the concept of the three other Jedi around Palpatine being surprised by his reveal/approach but them going down so quickly does feel a little cheap on their behalf. It would make sense if one or two of them were slain right away due to surprise, but the original intention of having Kit Fisto last longer makes more sense. I think the overall fight between Palpatine and Mace actually works pretty well in the film if you don't have the context of this extra footage. I'm kinda confused why they didn't use the full choreo with the stunt double because they obviously did use a stunt double for _some_ shots in the final. The blocking of that entire scene seemed to have been a bit of a mess from the start - but I still enjoy it immensely in the film

The movie would have played better if General Grievous was an unseen offscreen mcguffin who only serves to isolate Anakin from Obi-Wan, by cutting all of the GG scenes there would have been more time to focus on the important aspect of the film which is the corruption of Anakin Skywalker. I don't mind truncated Kit Fisto scenes largely because with all of the money and talent that they throw at these movies the aliens often look like Don Post masks. I should take that back Don Post masks in the 1970s looked better than what they pull off. I know people hate on Valloren but at least their aliens looked convincing.

Because mcdiarmid actually fighting at his age showed how raw palpatine was in power but how unpracticed he was in dueling which I think was lucas' goal and made it make more sense that mace out of everyone present was the only one who could stand against his ridiculous force power, as mace was a master duelist. It makes sense when you think about his reasoning for it, if palpatine was way cooler in this fire then that would imply every Jedi was way cooler as a result of them all being able to fight palpatine. Mace was number 2 power wise, anakin number 3, yoda 1, but palpatine was above them all. How would any Jedi actually be able to fight him if yoda couldn't even do it alone.

That said, the weak point is definitely that the first Jedi die so badly. A more choreographed fight but with still some of the close ups of Ian edited in really would have made this scene an all-timer. As it is, Ian alone makes this whole sequence my favorite thing in all the prequels.

Just adding my two cents: A somewhat drawn out fight between four Jedi and the Royal Guards would have been good had it remained in the final cut. It would have established that they weren’t disposable fodder (like stormtroopers) and would have made Yoda look so much more powerful when he dispatched two of them with a simple wave of his hand.

It's easy to forget that Lucas didn't always know best. As a genre director I can only think of Jackson and Nolan as his peers. Film makers who had both the original vision and the most creative control in realizing those visions. With each of them you can see the wheels of hubris at certain points in their careers. That's the give and take of it all. You wouldn't have those great stories without them but you also wouldn't have these odd choices if someone could push back on them.

They even have an lightsaber style dedicated to deflecting projectiles so it even makes more sense.

Context will help you land your shots Now with that tangent out of the way, there books make Palpatines fight with Mace and the other Jedi a lot more exciting and Anime-ish which as you know translate poorly to live action.

The only reason he was slain was because of a momentary lapse in judgment caused by Anakin's appearance, enabling Sidious to dispatch him. Windu, of course, was still just slightly better by a margin, using Vapaad to its' fullest extent, and the Shatterpoint ability to destroy Sidious' lightsaber after the latter had a moment of hesitation.

@@JasonPerryman I'm assuming you're okay with a bit of spoilers from the book if you're asking me this question. 😄 I can only really say that things play out a bit differently. The scene, like many others in the book, are given a lot more detail. For instance, the Dooku/Anakin duel was considerably longer in the book, going into Dooku's thought process and motivation a bit more. I guess that should be expected from a novel compared to a screenplay though. Sorry, got sidetracked 😅 The short answer is no. It goes somewhat like the movie. But it's up for debate whether Sidious let Windu "win"... Sidious decapitates, impales, and destroys two Jedi before dueling with Kit Fisto and Windu simultaneously. His speed was ridiculous and it appeared he was toying with/humiliating the Jedi almost. Mace even recognized at one point his Vaapad (form VII), which is itself a ferocious form of saber combat, could not overpower the sith. Some differences I can note in the novel are the brutal impaling and decapitation of the 2 Jedi in the beginning of combat, the 2 vs 1 with Kit and Windu against Sidious, Anakin is outside the window on a speeder watching all this go down instead on walking in last minute, and Windu cut the Dark Lord's saber instead of a kick to the face. At which point Sidious and Windu speak about fear (can't remember the conversation), instead of Sidious saying, "No, no, no... You will die!" Anyway... Long tangent, sorry. 😆 It's up for debate, but to answer your question, I think Sidious let's Windu "win" in both the movie and the novel. Not trying to discredit Windu, he was a ferocious fighter... But Sidious was on a whole different level.

the first shooting of the scene in 03 with anakin there already, was done before fisto's actor was replaced from zach jensen to ben cooke who looks shorter (zach unavailable for reshoots maybe). it was also before fisto's prosthetics were altered slightly with the tentacles, final shoots having 2 of them arranged to the front instead of 4.

I’m not sure that’s true about the Kit Fisto actor being replaced after filming the original idea with anikan in the room. The episode 2 actor Zach Jensen was part of the construction crew for the sets specifically for episode 2 and was asked if he wanted to be in the film. Ben Cooke was a stunt performer hired to be doing stunts for episode 3. The one still that’s included in this video is very clearly the episode 3 mask. (Albeit perhaps a more rough stunt mask). If you put episode 2 and 3 kit fisto next to eachother you can see they’re done very differently. Episode actually has the actors own mouth free and painted to blend in with the prosthetic. Episode 3 has a very different mask that covers the entire face. I think these scenes were always Ben Cooke but the mask in the still is a stunt mask that isn’t glued down but perhaps allows more freedom. Maybe if more footage can be found we can know for sure, but I can’t imagine a crew member would be rehired to do specific stunt choreography imo.

The intention was probably to mirror Vader standing around like a menacing shadow in Return of the Jedi, while Palpatine tortures Luke. It would show his submission and enslavement by Palpatine's charme and promises (deal with the devil) in III while his liberation and emancipation from it in VI. Lucas said it multiple times himself, that all his six movies are deliberate mirrors of each other. ALL major plot points are mirror images of each other, from OT to PT. That was always his intention(....always as in at least 1997) And I actually understand the idea behind using Anakin's lightsaber. If Palpatine just carried around a lightsaber, or had it hidden in his office, the Jedi would have probably easily sensed it years ago. Not just from logical thought, but also considering that in Rogue One, Jirrut, an amateur force user, not even a Jedi, could sense the kyber crystal around Jyn's neck. And using wrong lightsaber hilts is pretty common in Star Wars. some stunt sabers use generic hilts while Grievous uses Obi Wan's and Anakin's during the fight with Kenobi. He has two of each, which even change color AND hands during the fight.

@@louisstabile1182 You miss the point of Anakin joining Palpatine. He didn't give a shit about his combat skills. Anakin would have considered himself the strongest fighter anyways.(part of his entire downfall, his pride). No, Anakin only cared about the promise of saving Padme. That was it. Nothing else. Same goes for Dooku. He didn't join the Dark Side because of the power in combat that comes with it, but the ideology. Only Vader and the Emperor try to lure Luke to the Dark Side with the promise of better fighting skills. Which is, in hindsight, something that Lucas did much better in the prequels than the OT. The motive for joining the Dark Side was very underdeveloped and shallow/comic book villain like.

Fun fact: That iconic scene at 0:36 was only done by the stunt double wearing wires to give Ian McDiarmid an indication of the choreography he was supposed to perform. The scene as we see it in the final cut was actually just McDiarmid doing it by himself, no after effects or wiring needed. According to Lucas, he managed it on his first attempt, hence why the cut from him drawing his lightsaber and making the leap was a bit jarring. The first attempt was so good that they decided they just had to stick with it. It was worth the rough cut.

After watching/rewatching RotS many times and having a better appreciation each time for this particular movie, man its so sad this fight scene wasn't leveraged to the hilt for everything it was worth. For instance, just one of the master jedi cohort (any one of them) could be seen taking on all the royal guards at once (while the rest of the masters just casually strolled into Palp's chambers) showing the skill one master jedi has against even elite guards. And then the exact opposite happens where its clear all the masters need to team up to take on Palp (which we saw for just 1/2 sec in the actual movie). C'mon so much good potential here, the oppt was wasted.

The part about him being a Shakespearean actor makes me imagine a slightly altered classic line.. “whether tis nobler to suffer the sabers and blasters of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of Jedi…” then Anakin runs in, “Oooo, did somebody say something about taking arms? Or maybe.. haaands? 😏”

Swear to god that scene in the first weekend of ROTS in theatres was way more brutal. Fisto and Jedi Mephisto both lost their heads in like 10 seconds. Can’t seem to find that anywhere now.

That's awesome Nick gives you information and content to share. It's hard to imagine how Lucas could have gotten this pivotal moment so wrong. Changing the fight and forcing Ian to do it not only made the fight pathetic, but also made the Jedi who went with Windu look beyond inept. I would love to have seen the duel we are getting glimpses of here.

60 year old with no experience who has to learn the fight in 15 minutes? or a professionally trained stunt double who spent the last 3 weeks practicing this exact choreography? I mean let’s cut George some slack it was a tough decision… NOT!

That sequence makes so much more sense now. Every time I watched that part I could never wrap my head around wtf just happened. Just a really, really bad decision to replace the people that had been practicing the fight with someone that didn’t know it just so you could get a few more closeups. That’s the whole reason that stunt doubles exist, to do the things the actors can’t. That’s the frustrating thing about GL; he’s done some amazing things, but some of his decisions are so bizarre and feel so amateurish.

Holy shit that original fight choreography looked like it would have been *LEGENDARY.* It just makes me even more upset that what we ended up getting turned out to be one of the worst scenes ever in the Star Wars movies.

I have to disagree that it’s one of the worst scenes in Star Wars. All of the WORST scenes come from the Sequels in my opinion.
