Please let me know if you have any suggestions! I would like to make some more of these short cinematics (although hopefully more polished since I had to rush to finish this one by the contest deadline). Would also like to try some Clone Wars stuff too

[streetridersss]

The biggest tragedy is that I will remember this video as the actual canon because here, the *justice* for *Kit Fisto* is done right!

[MrHalohunter]

I like that it actually shows Fisto putting up a decent fight

[ggodss.]

I love how there is a hint of darkside in Mace’s eyes as he stands alone

[EpicTurbulance]

This is fucking badass, and it shows Kit Fisto fighting better than the movie. And at the same time showing Darth Sidious as far more Skillful and Powerful than shown in the movies. If possible you should make an entire fight from him using force scream to this ending.

[jamespuso]

When you REALLY can't accept Kit Fisto going down that fast lol. Nice job

[guynamedbob]

I love that you let Kit Fisto actually fight, he's meant to be a very talented duellist. as well as a dangerous one.

[robertrice]

I love the part where Windu looks up and you see the purple glow in his eyes. To me it was like at that moment he started really tapping into Vaapad and truly started cutting loose. So epic!

[dildobaggins]

Very impressed this is how it should have been with kit fisto.

[antwan]

I always loved the way Palpatine switched personas dark and brooding one second, and loving caring face the next in soft tones. Would have been really great to see . a true heel begging for his life only to kill the threat the next second.

[RyanTheDark]

I love the Prequels but this captures the mood better than ROTS. Like, I was actually hanging on my seat while they were fighting. The end gives me chills. New subscriber! :)

[johnrion]

Remember folks, mace windu was the only Jedi to defeat palpatine, once he was gone, it was over, yoda didn’t stand a chance, mace’s willingness to execute an unarmed palpatine showed he was more grey than light.

[szczypior]

Yay! I always appreciate people actually making duel animations! And I love me a great duel. This one gets added to my collection ❤❤

[BrianWon-gw]

Wow Palpatine's lightsaber fighting animations are amazing!

[jimpanse]

This is better than any lightsaber duel in the sequels.

[revolution]

Epic! Just like the ROTS book with The Clone Wars style Sidious👌🏼 Will there be an extended version of this fight?

[jayandom]

The reimagining of this scene with you vision for it is truly cool af!! Keep it up!

[foreignroninl]

Some details that I like is how Palpatine is clearly dominating every time he clashes with Kit Fisto, with the latter only being able to defend himself for a time until he gets hammered into submission. On the flip side, Palpatine is always shown dodging Kit’s strikes. I think this is a good reference to how Kit’s primary lightsaber form, Form I: Shii-cho, was ill suited for lone opponents of Palpatine’s level since the form’s wide slashes are meant for crowd control and not dueling.

0:27 This is phenomenal! Proof that Dave needs to re-create the Live Action films in his Clone Wars style and provide additional materials to the established lore, like this!

[bbenjoe]

Thank you for doing justice to Kit Fisto!
