The politics in the Prequels are stupid. Why didn’t Amidala allow the Republic to investigate the invasion? Or, better yet, why didn’t the two Jedi Knights, who witnessed the invasion firsthand, back up her claims?
Why does everyone suddenly want to give Palpy emergency powers? It’s not like the Separatists actually did anything at that point.
Why does nobody object to Palpatine’s sudden transformation of the Republic into an Empire?
