That’s true! Maybe we could play with a few different variations of that. Though it might not be obvious initially that destroying the throne is the key.

And yes, I’ve considered that too. I wanted to keep it vague so we don’t really know if Palpatine is hearing Anakin. But even if he did, he might not realize what that fully means until he gets a taste of their power. And Anakin doesn’t say anything about that means beyond “balance”, wish means nothing to Palpatine.

EDIT: He knows they have a bond, but maybe his evil Sith heart just wouldn’t even consider the power something like the dyad would have. It’s possible if you were watching it from a first-time perspective, you wouldn’t think it is contradictory for him to react like that.

EDIT: I know others have considered reintegrating his trailer line, “Your coming together will be your undoing”, and this could be an appropriate context to add it back in. I’d probably swap it out with “Unseen for generations”, which just raises more questions than answers.
