A Crazy Crackpot Theory about Corruption
HI Guys!!!!!!!

First of all I just want to give my regards to all Americans out there as today I do believe it is Memorial Day. Imm not sure if you've got a day of for work or school today but in Britain it is Spring Holiday so I get the Day off (and the week as it is school break).

Anyway. I struck up a thought last night. I was wondering why the Jedi were so sure that killing grievous would bring an end to the clone wars. As after all Generals can be replaced and there still hundreds of Droid Army still wrecking Havoc in the galaxy.

Next. The jedi thought as soon as Grievous was killed they would go and arrest the supreme Chancellor unless he gives up his powers, and thats where Anakin walks in.

So I reckon the Jedi were planning to take over and kill the chancellor. Why? Well, if you think about it look how eager the jedi were about arresting the Chancellor as soon as grievous was killed. Until Anakin stepped in The Jedi only had a had a small doubt whether the Chancellor was gonna put down his powers. Plus they take there Lightsabers.
Call this a Diplomatic Solution? No! I call this aggressive Negotiations

At this Moment in Time Mace didn't Trust anakin one bit. So Mace would have known that Anakins evidence on Palpatine would not be entirly true. But No! Mace is stilll very eager to go and arrest the Chancellor.

Ok lets imagine that Palpatine was really not the Sith Lord

Mace: Hi Chancellor, we believe your a sith so now im going to *cough* kill *cough* you
Palpatine: Oh no dear friend i'm afraid you're entirely wrong, search me if you must but I assure you I am not a Sith Lord

Kit Fisto: Oh but Anakin said you were trained in the Dark si-

Palpatine: Dark Side of..Politics! One needs to explore these things if he's going to get his own way. I'm afraid Anakin has told you a ickle lie.

Mace: Uum damn it...there goes my only reason to kill you. Oh well...You're under arrest.


This would only fit as you've got to agree its not like they hesitated in thinking Palpatine was a Sith lord. This gave Mace the perfect Motive to kill his brother Dave Windu. Oh no that a different Assination Attempt. That Gave Mace the perfect Motive to kill Palpatine. All he had to say when Palpatine was dead is.

"He was a sith Lord"

And Maybe just Maybe another piece of Evidence was when Mace told Anakin to stay in the jedi Temple whilst the others go and arrest Palpatine. he was actually saying

"Stay out our Way Anakin leave the Big Boys to sort out the Chancellor. You stay here and play with the kids"

SO Maybe Mace and the Jedi were really the Corrupt and maybe Mace was being hired to kill chancellor. or Maybe just Maybe Palpatine was a sith lord.

A reminder that nearly every I h ave said is based round ROTS and my thoughts could be true. From a certain point of view. I am a poet but I don't know it. *shudder* the truth hurts.

Your thoughts??

Mace did nothing wrong and the Jedi Order was only corrupt in Anakin's mind. Mace's only crime was not finishing off Dooku in II when he had the chance. And killing Grievous would not end the Clone Wars.

May the Force be with us all! God bless!

Well, without Grievous, the Nemoidans would have to take over, and we all know how great they are at tactics....:D

I disagree in some points and agree in others; yes, the Jedi Order was corrupt, and no, Mace Windu did nothing wrong in attempting to kill Palpatine ( he has been compared by GL himself to the devil; should he have shown mercy to the man who had caused the death of billions of beings?), and killing Greivous, as is stated several times in the movie, was expected to end the Clone Wars.

Whew!:p

.... Captain Peabody

Ever hear the saying about what happens when you dance with the devil?
When you dance with the devil, the devil doesnt change... the devil changes you!

Mace danced and what happened?
He stood there prepared to commit cold blooded murder.
To that point there was no evidence the Palpatine had ever murdered anyone.
It was clear after the duel that he was a Sith but, its one of the fundamental parts of the Jedi code... 'The Jedi dont murder... the Jedi dont kill thier prisoners.'

If they do, then what makes them so different from the Sith?

As terrible the consequences were on the galaxy because Obi Wan didnt finish Vader on Mustafar... Obi Wan did the right thing by the Jedi code!

Vader was beaten and helpless. Jedi dont kill helpless prisoners.

Theres a comparison thats been brought up countless times over the last few decades on a question of morality...
"If you could travel back in time and murder Hitler when he was unguarded as an innocent child and thus prevent millions of deaths... would you do it? Would you be justified in doing it moraly?"

Its come up in movies, books, media ect...

One example is the movie The Dead Zone.

Is murdering someone in cold blood justifiable under extreme circumstances?

I think Kenobi showed (yet again) what a truely great Jedi he was when he didnt even hesitate or think about killing Vader once he was defensless.

Kenobi was a superior Jedi to Windu in this way.
I mean Kenobi was superior to most Jedi in all the SW history in his wisdom and adherence to the Jedi code... and he was still only about 40? at that point.

Windu, as likable as he is by most people, was a flawed Jedi (at least by the code they held at the time).

He had a dark streak. Granted a great warrior and wise with excellent instincts but...
At the moment of truth he failed his own personal Jedi 'test'.

He resorted to Sith-like means to take care of a problem he saw no other easy way out of.

"He's to dangerous to leave alive."
"He owns the courts."

Yes his logic was dead-on, but his decision to execute Palps flew in the face of the Jedi code.

Anakin's exact reaction may have been extreme but in principle, Anakin was closer to upholding the code then Windu when he stopped Windu from executing a helpless (as far as they thought he was helpless) beaten opponent.

Again, laughing all the way to the bank was Palpatine at this whole exchange.
