To cheat message board death is a power only one has achieved...
... but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret.
shareIf Anakin was smart enough, he would have found out that:
1) Palpatine was trying to kill his Padme over the years
2) Palpatine ordered the invasion of Naboo, which apparently resulted in deaths ("my people are dying")
3) He called the Jedi evil and killed children (not necessarily in that order)
4) C-3PO wasn't a unique protocol droid, but one that is in use across the galaxy on nearly every world...
5) That Palpatine was the leader on both sides of the Clone Wars, which also was a manipulation of Palpatine...
That's the problem. He wasn't smart. He was desperate and impulsive.
1) Anakin wanted to save her, and lept at the chance to do so without thinking it through.
2) Been awhile since I saw the prequels, but I thought Palpatine was being secretive about stuff like that.
3) Anakin was annoyed with the Jedi to begin with, and see #2.
4) Not sure you got this from...
5) Again, if this was the case, he probably kept it a secret, but I don't remember.
Moral of the story: Palpatine was a manipulative beast, and Anakin was your average, whiny, impatient teenager.
