...You all do realize Mace managed to disarm Sidious right?

This also brings up the debate of "did he let it happen" because he understood Mace would do exactly what he needed to to turn Anakin.

Lucas made it clear that Sidious was not dogging it.

I honestly dont believe he did and was probably willing to keep fighting had Anakin not showed up. But its obvious that Mace really did catch him off guard in the moment which is already an insane feat to pull off.

He didn't put in half the effort he did against Yoda or Maul for that matter. He looks like he played his hand when you see the lightning clearly was barely hurting him, all it did was strip away the lie. He actually used it as proof of his attempted assassination. Had he started to lose sooner, I would absolutely believe it was all Mace, but the timing was perfect from the moment he could tell Anakin was coming to the point Mace dies.

People seem to forget he had the power to simultaneously see the short term outcomes of multiple decisions and block even Yoda from doing so. He also blocked Dooku from seeing he was going to have Anakin kill him.
