Neeson, if you do mean after Windu is killed, then that is kinda what I was going for. I wanted to push the idea that Anakin was going along with Palpatine’s shit so he could save Padme. That’s why I cut it so Palpatine says;
“Become my apprentice, learn to use the dark side of the force” and Anakin responds with
“Just help me save Padme’s life”.
Because the way I see it, there’s 2 different angles that Anakin’s downfall can be taken. You can emphasize him wanting to save Padme, which is what I intended, or emphasize him distrusting the council. In the original, it’s a mix of both, and it ends up muddled.
