Palpatine: Master Windu, I take it General Grevious has been destroyed then.....I must say you are here sooner than expected.
Windu: In the name of the Galactic senate of the Republic you're under arrest Chancellor.
Palpatine: I am the senate.
Palpatine stands, saber ejects, ignites all very fast. palpatine's spin attack cut, just see him charge. frames trimmed so he appears to be a lot faster and catches darthmaul style jedi by complete surprise instead of three jedi masters standing there like chumps/
more frames trimmed as kit and other jedi die, and mace exits into hallway. fight reduced down to bare essentials and best shots. All cutaways of anakin arriving are gone. The window shatters, cut to mace giving Palpatine a boot to the head.
Anakin enters.
Windu: The opression of the Sith will never return, you have lost.
Anakin walks up to watch
Windu: I'm going to end this one and for all.
Mace raises saber, anakin ignites his, severe's Mace's arm
Palpatine (removed no,no,no), you will die! (shooting lightning). **still looks human**
Mace gets fried goes out the window
Palpatine sighs with satisfaction, his true face revealed.
(removed "what have I done?")
Anakin slumps down...palpatine rises.
Palpatine: You are fulfilling your destiny Anakin......become my apprentice, learn to use the darkside of the force.
Anakin: I pledge myself to your teachings.
Palpatine: good... very good.
Palpatine: The force is strong with you....a powerful sith you will become, henceforth, you shall be known as darth.....vader.
Anakin: thank you my master
Palpatine: rise...
removed yoda feeling the disturbance
Palpatine: because the council did not trust you my young apprentice, i believe you are the only Jedi with no knowledge of this plot.....when the Jedi learn what has transpired here, they will kill us along with all the senators.
Anakin: I agree.
Palpatine: The councils next move will be against the senate.....every single jedi (removed "including your friend obi-wan kenobi") is now an enemy of the republic.
Anakin: I understand master.
Palpatine: we must move quickly, the jedi are relentless, if they are not all destroyed it will be civil war without end.....first i want you to go to the jedi temple, we will catch them off-balance, do what must be done lord vader, do not hesitate, show no mercy, only then will you be strong enough with the darkside.
(removed "to save padme" since Palps just stated he didn't know the secret yet.)
Anakin: what about the other Jedi spread across the galaxy?
Palpatine: their betrayal will be delt with.....after you have killed all the jedi in the temple, go to the Mustafar system, wipeout viceroy gunray and the other seperatist leaders
Palpatine: once more, the sith will rule the galaxy! and we shall have peace.
bare in mind in my version there is no subplot about Padme dying in child birth and anakin seeking a way to prevent this
Also thanks for the suggestions of removing "i just learned a truth" and just keeping "He won't give up his power, I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord" in the Mace/Anakin segment...It seems like an obvious improvement that i didn't think of.
I axed the whole scene
