Author	Topic: If the Jedi managed to arrest Sidious, what would they have done with him?

	I’ve been thinking about this since the third or fourth time I saw the film. Mace and his crew go to arrest Palpatine – but if they succeeded, what would they have done with him? He’s the Sith Lord – he’d find a way to escape. Of course, Obi-Wan was trapped in the force field contraption in AOTC, but it isn’t unlikely that Palpatine could escape that. If they took him back to the Temple, there would be a huge risk involved. If he escaped, he would no doubt kill many Jed in the process. If they tried to put him in a “jail” sanctioned by the Republic, he could easily break out with the Force and claim that his loyal supporters broke him out. Then he could go so far as to say that the Republic’s law enforcement is clearly flawed and have all the more excuse to lead the galaxy into further oppression. Surely they had to have some sort of plan in mind. Anakin told them that Palpatine was the Sith Lord at the last minute, but one would think that they managed to come up with some sort of plan on the way there. So what would they do with him? -----signature----- I steal candy from babies to prevent childhood obesity.

	Thats why Mace wanted to kill him, he controlled the senate and judical part of the republic. He wouldnt even need to use the force to get out he has so much political power. Mace was right in wanting to kill him. But if they did catch him I assume he would be put in the thing Hanibal Lectar got put in.

	Maybe they could have put him in a carbonite freeze.

	Mace would have definetly killed him had Anakin not interfered. I liked the Hannibal idea. -----signature----- Anything that happens, happens.

	Mace couldn't kill him, though. According to the prophecy, only Anakin could do that. -----signature----- I steal candy from babies to prevent childhood obesity.

	Arresting Sidious is a moot point, and Mace is well aware of this. He controls the senate, LITERALLY. He would have gotten off on a technicality, just like the Nemodians did, so how he's contained if captured is irrelevent....carbon freezing, energy handcuffs-whatever. So the only viable option for getting rid of Palpatine for sure, would be to kill him. There are NO alternatives. Sidious must die. -----signature----- Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe. -Albert Einstein

	Adm_Thrawn posted: I believe that Sidious would've faced certain execution had the Jedi managed to detain him No he wouldn't. The Jedi had ZERO evidence that he was a Sith Lord, before going to arrest him-only Anakin's word. However, assuming Mace was able to subdue him the second go around, they would have had plenty of evidence in the forms of three dead Jedi in his office. But knowing Palps, he'd of weasled his way out of that as well. He'd of probably pulled an O.J. and claimed Mace had "set him up." -----signature----- Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe. -Albert Einstein

	Mace should have quoted Ezekiel 25:17 to Darth Sidious "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tryanny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will shepards the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brothers keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." -----signature----- JediMaster KinkyFeet FootGuy5150

	Palpatine would've been locked up the same way that Obi-wan was. Exactly. With quite a few Masters standing guard 24/7 and monitoring him through the Force. Mace and his posse did go with the intention of arresting him. After Mace defeats him, and BEFORE Anakin shows up, he even says that Palpatine is under arrest. Of course, this is where Mace went wrong, in NOT killing him as soon as he had knocked off Palpatine's saber and before Anakin had arrived on the scene. A whole lot of people would have lived, if only Mace had been a little more decisive. -----signature----- “Kenobi was luminous, a transparent being, a window onto a sunlit meadow of the Force.” RotS, Matt Stover.

	Mace Didnt really Trust Anakin anyway so Im sure he had some hope that Palpatine was not a sith lord and just a crooked chancelor who wouldnt lay down his emergency powers, then arresting him and putting on the cuffs would be easy. If mace really believed Anakin the first words he said would not of been about being under arrest they would have been we know your an evil sith bad guy bla bla bla. The other Jedi were so surprised about him being a sith they were nor ready and died before they could blink let alone think.

In classic Palps form he puts it right back on them saying it's his right to be a sith.
