too bad the "Battle of the Heroes" motif couldnt be twisted into a heroic/noble motif for Anakin and Obi-wans relationship....

PALPATINE: Use my knowledge, I beg you . . .(Here I wanted to laugh - 5 seconds ago he was winning and now he has to beg Anakin? Very inconsistent dialog - written and played inconsistent.
That is kind of the Point, he does not have to beg, but its him trying to sound like a good guySidious....seems to fear Anakin which is laughable, because in the OT Anakin is his slave.
Well in the OT he is crisped, crippled, (not to mention past 30) and stuck in a (heavy) suit, Instead of young and in his prime soooo.....
Trying to sound like a good guy? For God's sake, he is a Sith Lord! He started a war on massive scale, killing bilions of people only to become a dictator. Is Anakin five years old, that he can't see it? That is one of the many things I hate about the prequels. The characters are so stupid that it is impossible for the audience to connect with them. How can you connect with someone who can't ask even ONE logical question or undertake ONE logical decision? Anyway, the time for Palpatine being a good uncle has passed. The only thing he could have done was to reveal himself to Anakin and hope that he joins him. He did that, only 5 seconds later to undertake the complete illogical action and opposite of what he has done before.
About Anakin's condition - This is something what contradict one of the BASICS laws of SW universe, established in the OT. In the OT we saw and heard that the size matters not. It is not that crude matter, which makes us strong, but the force. Yoda, a small, old and unequipped creature, yet a very strong Jedi master.
Sorry, but this dialog between Palpi and Anakin is so dump that any logical attempt to explain that will fail.
