 Yoda vs. Sidious..vs Obi Wan Kenobi
I like the what ifs of Star Wars..
The Galaxy is divided over Mace's and the Jedis authority for a Coup de Etat.. the Jedi are to serve the Republic.. Do the Jedi overstep their bounds arresting the Chancellor?
If Yoda or Obi Wan Kenobi intervened in the Palpatine's arrest.. Do u think Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi would have brought the whole Jedi Temple to arrest Palpatine? Would Yoda have influenced Anakin's decision to turn to the darkside? or could Obi Wan have influenced Anakin's decision to turn to the darkside?
We know Obi Wan Kenobi is no match for Sidious.. Kenobi is owned by Dooku on 2 occasions.. If Yoda would have intervened with Anakin would the outcomes have been different?
Why don't we hear Qui Gon calling out to Anakin when he is slicing through Mace and then the rest of the Jedi temple.. Is Anakin to far gone on the darkside to hear the QG's voice?
Sidious/Palpatine is the Ultimate Mastermind... after years of plotting and planning... Anakin is the key to Palpatine's Revenge of the Sith..
What do you guys think? Thanks for your comments on the other blog..
THX,
CE

I think not. Anakin wisely went to counseling with Yoda during Ep. III, but nothing came out of it. I think Anakin went to Yoda hoping for a way to save Padme.. but Yoda gave him "Train yourself to let go, mourn them, do not, miss them, do not" stuff, and Anakin wouldn't hear of it. He simply said "I will not let these visions come true, Master Yoda." So, no. I don't think Yoda could have influenced it. It was his destiny.

What does it matter? Then, all of them would have to have been killed. No matter how many Jedi went to the Sith Lord, they'd have to be killed. Anakin was, after all, the Chosen One. He had to do it himself. Sure, it took him over 40 years, but he did it. And Anakin was too obsessed with Padme to kill Palpatine himself.. until he eventually killed her, then it was possible since there was no one else he wanted to keep alive.

Ah! What if the Jedi had come in numbers and caught Palpatine offguard?
Ah! Then there would be no Chosen One! Mace had it under control.. if Anakin hadn't shown up. The Sith Lord would have died that day, though not by the hands of the one who was supposed to. The story had to happen that way; Anakin was the Chosen One. No 'What ifs'!

I think Palpatine rocks! He is a brilliant strategist - acting all defenseless to lure Anakin to defend him - and really, really powerful to boot. However, I don't think he needed Anakin, he just wanted him to do the dirty work of attacking the Jedi Temple, but I think in reality even if Anakin hadn't interfered with Windu Palpatine would have fried them both.

I suppose he must have seen great potential in Anakin, but if you think back on Anakin's important fights upto Ep 3 (after which of course there was no one left to challenge him), he pretty much gets kicked in all of them. First encounter with Dooku: kicked, left with one arm. Duel with Obi-wan: kicked and re-kicked, left with only his replacement arm. The only exception is his tricky little maneuver against Dooku - payback with a vengence. So out of three fights that he thought he was the clear victor, he only manages to come out on top in one of them. I think Palpy was wasting his time - he should have stuck with the clones and killed Anakin with the rest of them.

Speaking of off-topic.. Oh, I'll comment anyhow. Anakin had great potential! His past fights.. you have to remember, through those he was just a padawan. Lets see: Sith Lord, padawan learner.. my bet would naturally be on the older and more experienced.
Now then, clones over Anakin. Why do you think Palpatine wanted Anakin? To be yet another soldier? No, he wanted another Sith. To stand by his side. If you agree that Palpatine was a mastermind, then you have to know that he needed Anakin. He spent years trying to manipulate him to join him.

Although, I don't think that after being burnt to a crisp, having all artificial limbs, and being put in a heavy black suit would help his action. As he becomes Darth Vader, it seems his power is receding. You would think Palpatine would dump him and try to seek another. Yet he still cared for Anakin. Pity.

Heres a what if?!!!
Mace Windu kills Palpatine. Anakin is faced with the loss of Palps knowledge of the Dark Side and the intelligence to save Padme. He is angered further and after a tremendous battle kills Windu, entering the Dark SIde. Palps has the same knowledge as Qui Gon and communicates with Anakin post mortum dubs him Vader and commands him to initiate Order 66. Every thing else would almost be the same. Palps gets cloned a little ealier though and is still able to organize the Empire. Padme survives but learns the awful truth about Vader and he kills her out of rage. Palps now owns Vader.

Yoda and Obi couldnt intervene because the jedi removed them from coruscant, thinkingthey could draw sisious out, with no real competion.
If they somehow came in time, Palpatine might still have activated order 66 and escaped, but ANakin might have killed Palpatine upon arrival seeing all other jedi including yoda there. BUT it didnt happen and that was the will of the force so leave it. (But yES, there are many many ways the prophecy could have been forfilled, either that day, or 20 years later.)
