What would have happened if Mace Windu would have listened to Anakin and took him along to arrest Chancellor Palpatine?

No way. Palpatine was that parnoid about dying that he refused to sleep, sinking into meditative states to keep from losing his mind altogether. To quote him in "Dark Lord: The Rise Of Darth Vader", 'I shall not make the mistake of sleeping, unlike my master'.

Palpatine would have simply kept on killing and killing until he could kill no more.

I'm not so sure, mace is my favorite character but i've always wondered if he really did beat palpatine or if the whole fight was a set up by palpatine to turn anakin over to the dark side. i mean after all palpatine did give yoda a good run for his money.

Listened to Anakin? Arrest Palpatine? Would Mace Windu do either of these things? HELL NO!

Mace would have killed Palpatine. He should have just stabbed him, rather than declaring "I AM GOING TO END THIS.....ONCE.....AND FOR ALL.......!" before doing a wind up. :D


Mace does rock, but his apparent love for the dramatic kinda screwed him over. Very upsetting lol. It's hard to argue with Sam Jackson though.

Anakin would have still chopped up Mace. Anakin felt betrayed and could not trust Mace or the council.

Now if they had made him a master when they put him on the council that may have changed things. Anakin wouldn't have felt restrained he would have felt acknowledged and respected.

Either way Mace is more responsible for turning Anakin to the dark side than Palpatine was.

palp told anakin of powers he couldn't reach in the time he had before amadala's death if only anakin stayed as a jedi amadala would have lived through child birth
without palp anakin would have stayed on the light side.

Its easy to say that with hindsight, however i'm sure the Masters did not feel it was wise to give in to the adolescant demands of the latest Jedi Prodigy in their midsts. If Palpatine had not started Anakin really questioning them, and not made him really desire the Mastership then things would again: have been different.

Mace made mistakes, blind mistakes, however if not for Palpatine then thoses mistakes would not have been possible to make, or would not have mattered as much.

Plus Anakin was plain stupid.

Its possible Palpatines entire plan would have ended right there because if Anakin had seen him acting truly evil then he would have been less inclined to side with him. However if Palps had not recorded Mace saying "we're here to arrest you" and such, he would have not had much to present to the senate to prove the Jedi were traitors.

Still if anyone could have squirmed their way out of such a situation it would be Palps.

If mace had agreed to this, I believe the following would have happened:

Palpatine would have convinced Anakin that the Jedi were planning to slay him later, as soon as he had lived up his usefulness. So therefore, Anakin would have had to free him in order to obtain the wisdom of saving someone's life through the Force.
