more from Mr. Griffen
**"About halfway through the film we see the heroes really and truly revealed. That is, if you don't count the rest of the Jedi who gave of their lives up to this point.
The heores: Yoda, in his quest to rid the universe of Palpidious once and for all, and Obi-Wan in his veritable quest to turn Anakin back from the Dark Side.
Both fail utterly."
In Response to Art of Revenge #14 Signal Difficulties:
"That looks very close to the finished shot. Obi-Wan finds the footage he is looking for - when he and Yoda play it back a few moments later, they see Anakin bowing to Palpatine."
In Response to Knoll Vision #26: Jedi Temple Hallway
"What's cool is we see this temple hallway once with Obi-Wan and Anakin walking together early in the film - and another time later in the film littered with bodies of clones and Jedi as Yoda and Obi-Wan walk through."
a couple of new ones
There is a scene where the hooded Palpidious declares himself Emperor of the newly-created Empire. My how different the good chancellor looks now.

In one of the early animatics for the crash landing on Corusant, they had Anakin piloting the crippled ship through a heavily populated area. It even clipped large buildings as it crashed. This scene was changed later in production to have him land on some sort of runway or unused stretch of highway.
The crash is still amazing though, think of that shot of the trailer with the fire ships but the huge craft slamming into the ground. Same angle and everything.

While the official site commented on rumors around the web, Josh Griffin dished out a few more in the Jedi Council Forums. Highlight to read spoilers:
Post 1 -
Clouds of darkness filled the sky, and lightening bolts jolted the Coruscant cityscape. But it was a footnote compared to the lightening the Chancellor dispensed at his fingertips that same moment.
Post 2 - "Fool!" The lightning was reflected back to its source. The Chancellor reeled from the shock, snarling at his prey.
Post 3 - The old man was left crumpled to his knees. "I cannot, I turn myself over to you. I am too weak in the end," he said. "Too old, weak ... I give up. Don't kill me, Master Windu. I surrender."
Post 4 - Mace: "You can explain the difference after he's dead."
Post 5 - Yoda feels that he is responsible for the failure in the fall of the Jedi. He talks to the force, who talks back to him in the voice of ... Qui-Gon Jinn. It had been speaking to him these past thirteen years, answering his questions about life, and more importantly, eternal life. "Do not blame yourself, my old friend."
Post 6 - So one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy was in the middle of his first true lesson of the Force. In the corridor just ahead of him stood Bail Organa. His face told the whole story. "You're needed at the surgical facility," he said. "Obi-Wan asked for you to come. It's Padmé - she's dying."
A crazy idea
Post 3 - The old man was left crumpled to his knees. "I cannot, I turn myself over to you. I am too weak in the end," he said. "Too old, weak ... I give up. Don't kill me, Master Windu. I surrender."
You know while reading this I had a little thought the other day and thought I would share it to see if anyone thinks it makes sense. We know that palps declares all jedi's traitors ok? So how is he going to do this to convince everyone? One way that would be good was if he basically 'did a Nixon' and everything that hapens in his office or chambers happens to be recorded.
Then he says the line above, a little bit of editing and bosh! Everyone thinks the jedi's are violent traitors when the recording is shown to the senate or whatever.
This of course would mean that in some way he'd set the situation up somehow. It seems very out of character in the scene to say this line to me. Unless someone else says the line.. 😂
What do you think? make any sense?

The camera thing seems corny, but the more you think about it, it makes sense in some ways.
If Palpatine presents footage from events in his office to the Senate, then the Jedi are going to wonder what else was captured on that camera.
They may not find the footage they are after, but don't other spoilers point to Yoda and Obi stumbling across footage of Anakin kneeling before his new Master?
The other possibility is that the duel against Mace is the moment where Palpatine's look is permanently changed.
Why would this disfigurement not come as a shock to Palpatine too - he is just a human being, after all?
As the corruption of the dark side ravages his body, he literally does crumble, albeit momentarily, just as Anakin enters the room.
For a second he does fear for what is happening to him.
Might be faking it, might not, both could work, IMO.
