Three of them are similar in colour while the other one obviously isn't. There's a whole bunch of these CDs so it doesn't seem that unlikely you could find a vague match for 3/4 colours.

Speaking as a designer and video editor who works in the media industry for one of the world's largest producers of content... You are insane if you don't think this was directly cribbed from those album covers. It is not a coincidence how perfectly they match up.

However It also doesn't mean poo poo.

i think Palpatine probably went into the fight with Mace knowing Mace intended to kill him (because he’d be a fool not to) but knew Anakin would intervene and thus allow him to realize his plan. but i think it probably wasn’t his plan to get disarmed, face melted and on his rear end like a goober in the process.

he obviously had more fight in him, though shooting force lightning doesn’t seem particularly draining to anyone we see so it, and i’m sure he figured pre-fight if Anakin didn’t turn up he could just win the fight, but i think he was probably wrong about that

like somebody said, palpatine is a evil crafty wizard, he’s a archetypical schemer who succeeds through plotting and manipulation. he killed his master in his sleep, eschews direct action in favor of a rotation of swordsman brute apprentices, and basically loses or (if we’re being generous) draws in the three actual fights we see him in. fully unleashed he seems overpowered by yoda, escaping off a fluke ring out and intervention. against mace he gets disarmed and pinned and his face melted, then he gets bamboozled by vader and thrown down a big hole and basically isn’t able to do anything about it.

i don’t know why everybody is really attached to him also being this unstoppable warrior who can dominate any fight he wants and only loses for 4D chess reasons. seems simplistic

also mace windu is a big dick badass and could only ever be defeated through kung fu treachery, so i don’t know why this is even a discussion

If Windu won and killed Palpatine, the dark side still would have triumphed and the Jedi, while they might still exist in name, would be the new darksiders. By the time that fight occurred it was already too late, and the Jedi too corrupted, for any good outcomes. Palpatine won long before then.

Pretty much, the only way the Jedi could have won is if Padme, Mothma, and the rest of the senators worked with the Jedi Council to take down Palpatine. This would have required Anakin as he was the Jedi closest to the council and for the council to trust him which wasn't going to happen. The Jedi just keep loving up.

Mace could have won by throwing away his lightsaber and trusting Anakin. He might have died in the process, but he would have won.

Remember, Palpatine needs Anakin to kill Mace to win that fight. He needs Anakin to turn to destroy the Jedi and seize the Republic.

The Jedi hosed up, but people here are making the same mistake they did and thinking about politics and war and everything but the hero of the film, the literal hand of God.

Remember, the fight happened because Anakin went to Mace when he learned that Palpatine was a Sith. Despite everything, he still trusted the council member who trusted him the least and went straight to him. He doesn't even start to doubt the decision due to Palpatine's promises until after Mace has left him behind. He falls because he kills Mace, an act he cannot take back.

How so? What role does Anakin play in destroying the Jedi? What vital role does Anakin play in the new government?

Anakin does grunt work for Sheev; killing kids and unarmed diplomats. The first time he faces a serious threat he gets chopped into pieces.

Spoilers for the finale of Rebels.

-Ezra and Thrawn have flown off into the unknown and no one have seen them even after ROTJ.

-Rex and Hera were at The Battle of Endor, so that bearded soldier from ROTJ was probably Rex.

-Hera and Kanan have a son together named Jacen.

-Ahsoka is alive after ROTJ.

He also lead the Clone Troopers in the assault against the Jedi Temple. I assume he killed more than just kids in the process as you see briefly here in the hologram footage.

And he killed the leadership of the Separatist movement.

He also went on to be Darth Vader, who was pretty important in the Empire, considering he could get away with Force choking higher ups with zero consequence, and command Star Destroyers and one Super Star Destroyer.

Long term, he hunts down the Jedi that weren't killed in the initial ambush and suppresses the ones that went into hiding. Short term, he draws Obi-Wan away so that Yoda has to fight Sheev one-on-one, saving the Emperor's life at a critical moment.

What the film shows is that important Jedi are shot in the back or cut down by Sheev, while Anakin kills some kids and helpless dignitaries.

The Senate readily accepts Sheev as their new Emperor following the failed Jedi assassination attempt. Anakin plays no part in seizing that throne (except telling the Jedi about the confession to lead them into a trap, I guess). He merely ties up loose ends, and does a spectacularly poor job of it, letting Obi-Wan, his children, his lightsaber and his legs get away from him for years.

And escalates to choking people to death in the following movie. The entire Imperial military reports to him, and under his leadership, he tracks down the Rebels on Hoth and destroys their base. Yes, most of the Rebels escape, but that was due to the mistake of an Admiral, whom Vader murders as punishment.

What the film shows is that Anakin's mere alignment with Sheev costs the Jedi their chance at stopping him - first in the office with Mace, and later when Yoda has to fight him alone. He doesn't even have to do anything, just be there.

from anakin's point of view the jedi were evil.
