I never thought of it that way. Whoa.
That was actually going to happen.
I’ve seen a page from one of the books which had a page from ROTS when Palpatine reveals himself to Anakin. Originally, it went way further… Infuriatingly so.
Palpatine actually says “You can think of me as your father”, IIRC
I have no words.
Only unyielding rage.
