Everything Palpatine REALLY Did When Killing 3 Jedi Masters Revenge of the Sith -Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Revenge of the Sith - Darth Sidious exterminates the 3 Jedi Masters with ease until Anakin arrives to finish off Mace Windu.

Could Mace Windu Have Actually Survived? Let's Break it Down: Mace Windu, arguably one of the most powerful Jedi during the time of the Republic, before Order 66 changed the fate of the galaxy. Mace Windu was a master of the jedi arts but most of all, a master of himself and his own darkness within. He was betrayed by Anakin Skywalker during his battle with Palpatine, which led to the fall of the Republic at the hands of Skywalker and the Clones executing Order 66. In Star Wars, many characters have returned from certain death. Could Mace Windu do the same? Were his injuries that bad that would put him out for good? How high was that fall, say he did survive? Could Mace Windu show up in The Mandalorian season 3 and perhaps join Luke Skywalker and Grogu? Let's see if it's possible for him to even have survived... by Star Wars Theory

The First Time Mace Windu Felt Fear - Star Wars Explained: Mace Windu was a revered Jedi Master. Highly respected on the council in throughout the galaxy, he never showed fear towards the Sith or any of his enemies. The first time Mace showed some sort of concern or fear, was during this scene in Shatterpoint, which isn't canon anymore, as it's not legends material. I find it also interesting how he senses something like the battle on Geonosis would happen again. I suspect he must have felt Order 66, but didn't know exactly what to expect as to how catastrophic it was. Anakin Skywalker turned his back on the Jedi during Order 66, and I believe the second time Mace actually showed fear, was when Anakin took his hand and Palpatine blasted him with lightning. by Star Wars Theory

Why Mace Didn't Consult Yoda to Fight Palpatine - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, why didn't Mace Windu, upon learning from Anakin Skywalker that Palpatine is the Sith lord they've been looking for...take Master Yoda with him?

Anakin Kills Mace - Star Wars Analysis: Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker are some of the best Jedi in the Galaxy. Who would win in a duel if these two fought?

How Anakin Almost KILLED Mace Windu When Denied the Rank of MASTER - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, we all know the scene where Mace Windu tells Anakin Skywalker that isn't granted the rank of Master...this leaves Anakin furious, however in the novel...there's much more to be said about Anakin's anger in front of Yoda, Obi-Wan and all the other Jedi Masters. by Star Wars Theory

How Palpatine Used a LIGHTSIDE Power on ANAKIN in Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there may be something we all might have simply overlooked...Once Anakin Skywalker fights Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, he is left burning to 'death' and being reborn in the true form of Darth Vader as Palpatine comes along so conveniently to apply force heal to his head...Keeping him alive just for a little bit longer, a type of selfish manipulation of the force by using the light side for a dark purpose. Could Darth Sidious have healed Anakin/Darth Vader fully? How does this theory play into the rest of Star Wars? If Mace Windu could use both the light and dark sides, why couldn't Palpatine? I believe he could and DID! by Star Wars Theory

The Reason Anakin Skywalker Wanted to Become a Jedi Master Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker was enraged when he wasn't granted the rank of Jedi Master at the Jedi Council by Mace Windu.

Mace Reveals Yoda's First Lesson to him as a Baby - Star Wars Explained: Mace Windu was the toughest Jedi Master some might argue in the Star Wars galaxy.

The Real Reason Palpatine Sent Anakin to the Jedi Temple During Order 66: In Star Wars revenge of the sith, once anakin cut off the hand of Mace Windu, and palpatine tested him out of the window, dubbing the chosen one as Darth Vader. He sent Anakin to the jedi temple, and then to Mustafar to wipe out the separatist leaders, ending the war. Why didn’t palpatine just send anakin to Mustafar, while the clones took out the jedi at the temple? Risking Anakin against Jedi Masters all defending themselves at once might have cost Palpatine all he had worked so hard for with Anakin, losing him in a duel. Let’s look at the answer as to why Palpatine sent Anakin to the Jedi Temple first, from the Star Wars revenge of the sith junior novelization. by Star Wars Theory

Why Palpatine Didn't See Darth Vader's Betrayal - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi...Palpatine was ruling the Galaxy through the Galactic Empire. We all know this. He was all powerful. We know this, too. Why couldn't he see Vader's betrayal? Why didn't he know Anakin Skywalker would eventually bring balance to the force (from the Jedi's POV)? Sidious was extremely powerful, but there's a reason he couldn't see Anakin Skywalker's turn...If he did...I don't believe he would have spent all those years recruiting him in The Revenge of the Sith. He never saw Darth Maul's death, nor did he see the Death Star's destruction at Luke Skywalker's hand. by Star Wars Theory

The REAL Reason Anakin Completed Order 66 - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker executed Order 66 with the 501st on Palpatine's orders...we all know he did it to 'save padme.' However, there was more to his reasoning as to just why he turned to the dark side and killed the Jedi at the Temple. He never cared for the Sith, or for Palpatine, but rather he was afraid the Jedi would only curse him for protecting the Jedi way by disarming Mace infront of an unarmed prisoner, Sidious who must stand trial. What do you think about Anakin not caring for the Sith? by Star Wars Theory

I Will Change Your View of Anakin's Turn to the Dark Side in 3 Minutes: Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was 'fast' in the eyes of many Star Wars fans. However, in 3 minutes I will explain to you how it is not fast at all, and why his turn makes so much sense. In fact, I would argue his turn was justified (not his actions, those were messed up, but his turn). by Star Wars Theory

Why Did 3 Jedi Masters Lose to Palpatine So Easily in Revenge of the Sith Star Wars Explained: In Revenge of the Sith, during the scene where Mace Windu leads his team of Jedi Masters to confront and arrest Palpatine after Anakin revealed his identity as a Sith Lord, we see the Sith kill 3 Jedi Masters so easily. This doesn't make much sense from a movie standpoint, but if we dive deeper, using the comics, novelization, and lore, we can make perfect sense of the situation. by Star Wars Theory

Why the Jedi NEVER Saved Slaves on Tatooine: Something I see many fans question, is why the Jedi never just freed all the slaves on Tatooine and other parts of the galaxy?

Anakin's Jedi Ships Listed and Explained - Star Wars Explained: Anakin Skyalker had some of the coolest ships and Jedi Starfighters. Here are a list of them that we've seen in the novels, comics, movies, The Clone Wars (both 2D and 3D versions). Something I found cool was that Jedi Master Saesee Tin encouraged him to keep upgrading and modifying the ships, while other Masters (probably even Mace Windu) saw this as a sign of attachment to his ships. by Star Wars Theory

Anakin's Deleted Scene during Palpatine vs Mace Duel Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there was the original concept of Anakin Skywalker being present during Palpatine's fight with the Jedi and Mace Windu, where he offers his blue lightsaber to Sidious. It was later deleted and changed to Anakin showing up when he did, to eventually turn into Darth Vader before Order 66...however before this, the concept was there and filmed to have him walk over Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tin, the Jedi Masters that Palpatine defeated so effortlessly. In the novel, it's also different, where Anakin shows up to walk over the bodies and view the speed of Mace and Palpatine as they dance in colors of red and purple, however he is NOT present during the initial arrest and does not throw his lightsaber to Palpatine to use. by Star Wars Theory
