"I sense that you are becoming the greatest of all the Jedi." Ah, the simple yet complex words of Palpy used to transform Anakin to his evil will. But do these words have deeper meaning to them?

First of all, Palpatine uses the words, "I sense," about three times in Episode III. Now obviously, we can all sense things at some points, but did Anakin ever consider these words as suspicious by a non-Force user? No! Because he's blinded by the dark influence of Palpatine! And just how far does that darkness reach? Can one Sith blind the most powerful of the Jedi? Can Jedi really lose the abilily to use the Force as a result of the Sith's presence, as Master Windu states?

Already we have some questions, but let's look at this, "that you are becoming." So we see that he is not yet, but will be. Is Sidious refering to that under him, Anakin could become the greatest? I would think so. Or, could it be that he is saying that Anakin is already the most powerful?

And the final part of the sentence, "the greatest of all the Jedi." Of all the Jedi? I mean, surely Anakin couldn't take on Yoda. But let's look at this. Obi and Yoda are the last two known Jedi. But, instead of what happens happening, Yoda goes to face Anakin, and Obi goes off to the Emperor. Well, here we get Obi-Wan walking into the Chancellor's office and saying, "Hello, there." well the Emperor gets up and zaps at Obi but he blocks. Then they get on the little thingy that goes up into the Senate and after a short fight the Emperor kicks Obi-Wan off. The end.

Here goes Yoda in Padme's ship. But do you think that Anakin would have responded to Yoda the same way he did to Obi-Wan? Perhaps Anakin would have listened better to a wise Master that he always honored than to an old buddy who was "weaker" than him. Would Anakin have listened to Yoda? We may never know, but I can say one thing for sure, I think that Yoda would have won. But in the end, these words by Palpy only inflated Anakin's ego so much that he became over-confident in his skills and payed the price for it. So in a way, Palpatine destroyed Anakin.

So, "I sense that you are becoming the greatest of all the Jedi." Not all, my friend, most of the Jedi. So, there are my thoughts on that scene. Commemts are gladly welcomed.

May the Force be with us all! God bless!
