Fighting Mace
If Anakin was not present in the fight between Mace Windu and Dart Sidious who would have won?
though we cannot change Star Wars history. I just want everyones opinion.
Mace was clearly winning the fight, and I'm sure he would have killed Darth Sidious. Mace's defensive skills/endurance were spectacular. Darth Sidious was putting all of his energy into killing Mace, that's why Darth's face became all contorted and aged. But it didn't hurt Mace. Also, did you see Mace's eyes as they were pushing the light sabers against each other. He looked exraordinarily determined and he was even smiling a little bit.
Mace's offense was strong, too. I think Darth was lying on the floor.
Anakin should have stayed home and had some coffee. Then Darth would have been toast. Fortunately, Anakin came to his senses in episode six and killed Darth Sidious by throwing him over the railing.

| | Star Wars Mace Windu Lightsaber $13 PACKAGING NOT GUARANTEED TO BE IN MINT CONDITION. NOT MINT ITEMS MAY SELL OUT AT ANY TIME. ORDERS MAY NOT BE FILLED. Give your favorite Jedi Master a new lightsaber. Did you know that Mace Windu studied the ways of the Sith? Know thy enemy, indeed! Star Wars' Mace Windu was a ferocious fighter with exceptional diplomatic skills as well. His lightsaber was emblematic of his expertise in different disciplines. The purple color symbolized his study of several forms of combat, including the dark techniques of the Sith. This tempting recreation is for costuming, not for fighting the dark side, however. Battery powered (2x "AA" batteries required, not included), the blade telescopes to over 3-feet in length. This lightsaber is also unique in that it was made with the gold-colored metal electrum, with the purple hue achieved by using a rare crystal from the planet Hurikane. Now, if we just had an Emperor Palpatine to help recreate Mace Windu's final Star Wars scene... |

medieval times mace fight
How should I start a fantasy story?
Should I jump right into a battle? Since there is a group of heroes called the Godless who are fighting the worshipers of an evil god/general, I could do that... But would that be good? Also should I start with something like "My mace crashed down on the creatures back. I felt it crumble to the ground under its weight, writhing and hissing." For some reason that doesn't sound right for an opening sentence to me, but I don't know why...
The best way to discover good openings, is to read a lot of openings! Check out http://www.amazon.com and use the "look inside" feature that many books have. You can read the openings of thousands of fantasy books, absolutely for free!
Read openings and see if you find any with action right at the beginning. See how that author does it, how they introduce characters, how they draw you into the story. Maybe you'll like how that writer does it, or maybe you'll realize "I have no idea what's going on," and you'll know what not to do.
Hope that helps!

I know the full funda, but just to put them in good words, I am quoting Wiki:
Queen Gandhari is distraught when she hears that all her sons save Duryodhana have been slain. Despite knowing that Duryodhana was wicked and his cause unrighteous, she decides to help him win. Asking him to bathe and enter her tent naked, she prepares to use the great mystic power of her eyes, blind-folded for many years out of respect for her blind husband, to make his body invincible to all attack in every portion.
But when Krishna, who is returning after paying the queen a visit, runs into a naked Duryodhana coming to the tent, he mockingly admonishes him for his intent to appear so before his own mother. Knowing of Gandhari's intentions, Krishna criticizes Duryodhana, who sheepishly covers his groin before entering the tent.
When Gandhari's eyes fall upon Duryodhana, they mystically make each part of his body invincible. She is shocked to see that Duryodhana had covered his groin, which were thus not protected by her mystic power.
When he faces the Pandava brothers and Krishna alone, Yudhisthira offers him the option of fighting any of the Pandava one-on-one. If he defeated that Pandava, Yudhisthira would hand the kingdom to Duryodhana, despite having won the wider war.
Out of pride, Duryodhana picks his archnemesis Bhima instead of any of the other Pandava brothers who would have been overwhelmed by his skill at fighting with the mace. Both possessed exceptional physical strength and had trained under Balarama in mace fighting and wrestling to the same level of prowess. After a long and brutal battle stretching many days, Duryodhana begins to exhaust Bhima.
At this point, Krishna, who is observing the fight, motions to Bhima, reminding him of his oath to crush Duryodhana's thigh. Bhima viciously attacks Duryodhana with a mace and strikes at his thigh which is not protected by Gandhari's blessing, and Duryodhana finally falls, mortally wounded.
Although Duryodhana bemoans that he was slain by unfair means, given that it was illegal to attack below the waist according to the rules of mace-fighting, Krishna points out to the dying prince that his humiliation of Draupadi, murder plots and cheating of the Pandavas and the killing of Abhimanyu did not comply with dharma or the norms of battle either. It was useless thus, for Duryodhana to hope that religious values would protect him, when he had honored them not once in his whole life.
