i know we all want to poo poo on the prequels, Mace Windu and Yoda, but really Mace and yoda figured the whole thing out and went to arrest Palpatine. It was stupid they didnt pay more attention to Anakins relationship with him, but they did get it right.

No, Anakin was let it on the secret, then Mace Windu went to assassinate Palpatine, and then Yoda sent Obi-Wan to kill his own brother. Remember, it was Anakin who decided to put away his weapon and report on Palpatine. He knew that assassination wasn't right, and he reported on Palpatine despite knowing that might jeopardize his ability to save Padme. He was very close to doing the right thing, and then snapped in a moment of panic.

McCloud posted:So did Sheevs do that knowing Anakin would squeal to Mace, and that they'd launch a coup? He was improvising, figuring he had gotten sufficiently in Anakin's head that something might come of it and that he could win any swordfight and beat any charges the Jedi could bring against him. Sheev specializes in creating situations where both possible outcomes benefit him.

What's Vader gonna do, get electricity jammed through his iron lung and die? I think it's pretty fair that the Emperor wouldn't expect Vader to do something so incredibly selfless.

McCloud posted:So did Sheevs do that knowing Anakin would squeal to Mace, and that they'd launch a coup? "Everything is going according to my design" should be taken somewhat literally. Palpatine is a sort of meta-author who stands above every other Star Wars character (that is, until his own creation rises up and destroys him like Frankenstein. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/a-field-guide-to-the-musical-leitmotifs-of-star-wars For anyone interested in John Williams and film scoring, this is essential reading. I was pretty down on the score for TLJ, but this definitely is convincing me to revisit it.

I don't know if this is true or I'm even remembering right, but I like the idea of Palpatine being able to effortlessly manipulate an entire galaxy until he's defeated by the one thing he doesn't predict, someone acting outside their self-interest.

You can read the duel between Mace Windu and Palpatine as one where Palpatine wasn’t really in danger and was just playing up his helplessness for Anakin, or as one where he was truly overpowered by Mace (who was clearly tapping into his rage) but turned that to his advantage anyway. I prefer the latter interpretation, mainly because it fits better with Palpatine's MO: the prequels are filled with examples where something goes wrong and Palpatine's original plan gets hosed up, but he just rolls with it.
