Darth Sidious question - **RotS Spoilers**

[Wolf72]

...

… So really Mace’s DSP is just a minor footnote to the worse day of his life.

ain't that the truth! ... at least he didn't go out like a punk though ... heck think of all the stories there could be about a one armed man in the bowels of Coruscant

See, those screen captures to me point out that Darth Sideous already looked just like the Emperor of RotJ.

You asked for it

Palpatine looks less deformed in RotJ than at the end of RotS. Still, he looks pretty normal in AotC compared to RotJ.
IMHO of course

Palpie certianly doesn't look deformed in the screen capture.

Who really believes Mace is dead? No body = didn't die. He is way too popular of a character to just off like that and judging by the fall, which we have seen other jedi survive, I suspect he will get his own comics, graphic novels, or books at some point in the future.

Personally, I think logic dictates that any Jedi should've tried to do exactly what Mace did. Un-Jedi-like? Any Jedi in his right mind would've done the same. It was 'kill or be killed.'

If it was such a logical move, and he had the senate eating out of his palm, why try to arrest him in the first place?

His control over the senate hadn’t fluctuated at all from the beginning of the scene to the end…

And since people are more inclined to give into their emotions after/during combat I think its safe to assume that Mace’s attempt to execute Palpatine weren’t logical but emotional and therefore unJedi like.

I honest do but...

I would buy them...

Holy cats, what do you have to do to kill these guys? Cripes. Even when you do manage to bump one of them off they come back as a blue glowie.

Well, I would have happily left Boba Fett dead (yes, the existence of an EU series that rescue him from the Sarlacc annoys me.)

But Mace will be making an appearance should I run SW in the near future...

That's not something Mace is going to be able to do, at least so I think, as Yoda don't learn of this until later in the movie and only has a chance to train Obi-Wan....

Of coarse Anakin learns it, he's seen as a force spirit at the very end of RotJ, but that might because a special circumstance, as in Obi-Wan or Yoda actually pull it off for him.

I voted for option 1; having watched it twice this weekend, my impression is that he is Mace's beeyatch by the end of that fight, and goes between "I'm weak, I'm feeble, don't kill me" to "Noooo, YOOOU DIE!" as the fight's tables turn. Anakin made the choice, and Anakin in my opinion was the one who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory; the story itself wouldn't have worked any other way in my opinion.
