[@calebsawyer0719]

0:32 Now that's what you call having an ace up your sleeve.

[@billybobthornton9668]

This scene, specifically the exchange between Anakin and Mace, is such good writing and illustrates that in this moment Anakin is actively trying to be a better Jedi, before utlimately succumbing to the dark side. Anakin had been manipulated by Palpatine into killing Dooku, with the words "he's too dangerous to be kept alive!" Anakin now knows that Palpatine is the Sith Lord that's been orchestrating everything, and we know he regrets his murder of Dooku because it meant he failed to do things 'the jedi way.' When he then hears Mace say that he's going to kill Palpatine, with those same words that the Sith Lord used to manipulate Anakin into straying from the Jedi way, he suddenly accepts Sidious' assertion that the Jedi are hypocritical fools who don't respect him. This, coupled with that frankly incredible sales pitch from Palpatine still ringing in his ears, I am the only one who can save the only thing you care about in the galaxy, serves to bolster his resolve for Palpatine to be spared. We literally see Anakin try to hold to the Jedi way by urging Mace to stop, but then his self-interest slips when he declares "I need him", with this seeming to indicate his plan would have been to learn from Palpatine while he was awaiting trial. This adds an increased desperation for him because the Jedi code now aligns with what he wants, so for him to see Mace subvert it completely shatters the idolised vision of the Jedi that he's been taught. In reality, I think Mace is clearly correct and that Palpatine is far far too dangerous to be kept alive. This is significant because I like to imagine that Palpatine knew this eventuality was likely to play out, so by planting all these seeds manipulated Anakin to see any attempt on Palpatine's life as proof the Jedi are ultimately self-serving, it turns any such attempt into the act that pushes Anakin into his arms and turns him. Add to this Anakin's propensity towards selfishness and he creates a sleeper agent who will not only come to rescue him from Mace, who is like kryptonite for dark side users (so I truly believe he would have been able to kill Palpatine, although it's equally tempting to think Palpatine was just pretending to be overcome in an attempt to elicit sympathy from Anakin), but also become his apprentice. This is Star Wars, and it was entirely missing from the sequel trilogy. 'Somehow Palpatine returned' my ass, a complete disservice to and undermining of one of the most evil, cunning, and manipulative characters in cinema history.

[@jamesdick2580]

then when Disney took over, it was the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars.

[@Revoluciona41]

I live in a Central European country, you know, we always get movies later in theatres. I was a Star Wars loving fanboy and saw that (weeks before the premier in our country) the novel with the same title "Revenge of the Sith" was for sale. I bought it and already read it like five times when I finally first saw EP III. In this way I could 120% enjoy the movie because I knew all the background stuff and thoughts of the characters from the book. In this scene in particular if I recall correctly, Windu is so deep in his Vaapaad style that he actually senses the whole plan of Palpatine, he sees that everything and I mean EVERYTHING depends on Sidious' trust in Anakin. He thinks "This is a good thing, because The Chosen One will save everyone and look at that, there he is standing in the room while I reflect Force Lightning back on this mo***rf***er". Then as seen, before the final strike Anakin starts pleading him and in the books he says "No! I need him to save Padmé" and Windu thought for a second "Why?!" before he saw the blue light and felt the pain of losing his hand. Everyone who haven't done it yet, please read Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith, it is awesome.

[@rishavbanerjee1371]

Palpatine in the sequels was a clone body. He had done this in legends comics too, transferred his essence into decaying clones. It was a good story, just told poorly.

[@maryelias5663]

Si en pocas palabras lo calabacio supi dodne darle y obvio lo dejo como pendejo, por q alultimo ni pudo salvar a padme ni fue el mejor , ni mo lord sith jajajajajajaja

[@jamesdick2580]

i also think that a couple of major factors that contributed to Anakin being manipulated by Palpatine were that on some level, he was still grieving his mother's death, then on top of that...he's having nightmares about Padme dying which leads him to not getting enough sleep (if the lighting is right, you can see that he has dark circles under his eyes), and...his frustrations with the Council because he feels that they're holding him back rather than let him be as good as he can be.

[@RetroActiveGM]

This why I partially hate Anakin bro literally walked past 3 dead Jedis and still didn’t care he had his mind set that he was on palps side

[@maciejpietrzak6146]

He wasn't. Windu just did a terrible mistake

[@Cam.Deux.]

@@maciejpietrzak6146 how ?

[@maciejpietrzak6146]

​@@Cam.Deux. Anakin was still loyal to Jedi, as he already said to Palpatine he indeed wanted to kill him. But couldn't due to his knowledge of saving Padme. So he decided to go to Windu, and was pretty much ok with Sidious being a prisoner. Masters died, Windu had Palpatine at his mercy and declared him to be arrested. Anakin was allright with that, sk Sidious had to bring Windu much closer to the dark side. He used a Force lightning, pretending to be in pain and on danger but Anakin still didn't care. It was Windu's hatred that blinded him, when he decided to kill Sidious. And Anakin was far from being allright with that. And more then that, Windu confirmed everything that Palpatine was telling about Jedi. That they and the Sith are similar etc. Finaly Windu used the same line that Palpatine used when he tried to convince Anakin that he did a right thing when he killed Count Dooku. Windu could be right, but when he wasn't blinded by anger and hate he decided to arrest Sidious. Then Sidious killed all three masters and after that Windu still declared that he wants to arrest him. And finaly, when Sidious asked for mercy, Windu, blinded by hate, changed his mind and decided to act more like a Sith Lord. If he would kill Palpatine at that point, he probably would fall far to deeper to the dark side then Anakin did.

[@Cam.Deux.]

@@maciejpietrzak6146 i don’t blame windu, and tbh anakin is a hypocrite bro killed an entire clan and a sith outta emotion but now the time come to end the war windu is wrong but I do give you this I understand your point of view cause it isn’t the Jedi way

[@josedejesus765]

This battle wildly under performed. We’re talking about the two most powerful beings in the galaxy. George Lucas needed to use more CGI in this fight. The Yoda vs Palpatine duel is a much higher level than this scene. It takes away from the greatness of these two characters.

[@GreenNinj4]

Yeah but he already had two insane fights at the end of the movie, pacing wise it would have been a horrible idea to make Palpatine vs Windu on the same level.

[@akapple3538]

Palpatine killing the three Jedi Masters at the start was even more under performed. It looks like a joke and needed a lot more work to make it convincing.

[@andystarkiller7492]

The scene when Dogma executed Pong Krell was inspired from that fight scene. What if Windu executed Palpatine ? Well, he might have been arrested and also he might have doomed the entire Jedi Order as the Sith were extinct for 2,000 years. So, he would get no proof that Sheev plotted against the Galactic Republic. No one knew what a Sith Lord meant except for Jedi like Kenobi, Windu, Yoda or Ahsoka... Dogma lets his hatred take over in S4 pf The Clone Wars hence he gets arrested. More precisely, he did something off the book which was executing an unarmed prisoner, Rex hated Pong Krell and ordered his Clones to capture him for betrayal.

[@danielk5780]

The thing is, that the Jedi were the "Guardians of peace and justice" for "a thousand generations". They were, morally, above reproach. The public would be shocked upon learning that the leader of the Jedi Order executed the Chancellor, but their first thought would not be "lets put him in prison", but rather "he probably had good reason for that". Also, there was still a war going on, where the Jedi led the armies. The Senate would've probably appointed an interim chancellor to end the war (Grievous and Dooku were dead at that point and the Confederacy was falling apart). After that, there would've been an investigation to find out what exactly happened and why - and with Palpatine gone, there would not have been any reason for Anakin to hold back the information that Palpatine himself had told him that he was the Sith Lord. Being alive, the Jedi would've been in the position to put together the pieces and prove that Dooku and Palpatine had orchestrated the war and all would be well. Maybe Mace Windu would have to pay penance for his "unsanction" execution, but it would've been far better than the alternatives.
