The Jedi had no right to arrest Palpatine

darthmaul1 has pretty much nailed it on the head there. In a morality tale of good and evil there is little mileage in questioning the motives of someone who goes to try and cast down the ultimate source of evil.

Or are you going to declare the entire Rebel Alliance in the wrong also?

Although I do think Mace's motives were slightly unclear... he wanted all of the glory for himself I think. Why would you not alert the entire Jedi Order before you went to the Senate? Why not alert the whole frickin Republic that Palpatine is a sith lord? Tell a padawan to call the local Corsucant news or something. 🙄

It's because Mace wanted to own Sidious and be proclaimed the hero of the republic in the same way Anakin was.

That, or most of the Jedi were busy killing Separatists/Confederates... 😄

How do you guys sleep at night? there is nothing racial or discrimatory about star wars what so ever! Sith are evil, jedi are good, it's just that most of the senate only knows what the chancelor told them and thats why they side with him.
according to republic law its treason?? what the hell is that?
Palpatine is simply saying it is treason to get people on his side like Anakin and the senate.

Good is just a point of veiw. From the Sith's point of veiw the Jedi are evil.

That's crap man. Good isn't just a point of view. There are certain principles that universally apply to "goodness." I think Palps stepped over that line when BILLIONS of innocent people were slaughtered in the name of the empire.

Don't try to get philisophical about such obvious things. It just makes you look stupid...

Treason to kill the source of evil since he's the Chancellor...gotcha...

Thing is, Palpatine doesn't say "The Jedi tried to kill me because I'm a Sith Lord" because then the Galaxy would go 'Feck! Kill him!'

Instead, he says "Oh, the Jedi tried to kill your beloved Chancellor, but thank goodness Anakin was there, the only Jedi with a good mind! We should wipe them out!"

The Empire was only trying to keep peace and order throughout the galaxy with fear and power.

Fear + Power \= Peace

\= is a crappy 'not equal' sign. 😄

If you give them too much freedom they will rebel.

umm, didn't he have a little something to do w/ provoking the clone wars?

Quite possibly. And wiping out hundreds of Jedi with the Clone Wars...

The intergalactice senate acknowledge and trust the Jedi's ability to sense a disturbance in the force. This is why there is a jedi counsel. They had more than just cause to arrest Palpitine, taking this into consideration.

Palpatine still has the right to be Supreme Chancellor, even if he was recognized as a Sith.

He was a frickin SITH LORD, enough said!!

What's this? A spark of sanity at KMC! I thought those days were long gone!

The Jedi know Sidious is in control of the Seperatists. With Palpatine revealed to actually be Sidious himself, he is in violation of the law. Arrest his ass... if you can.

the jedi counsel exist for the sole reason of keeping intergalactic peace. Knowing the history of the sith, and there intentions It was the jedi's responsibility to arrest palpitine. Evil is a characteristic of the sith. besides, when did palpitine get arrested? He fooled EVERYONE.

"I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you"
"I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over!"
"Anakin Chancellor Palpatine is evil!"
"from my point of view the Jedi are evil!"
"well then you are lost!"

enough said. I dont really think theres a "point of view" Sith are Evil, Jedi are not, they might be stupid, but they are still good.

Sith are not. Palps being the Sith master of Sith masters is pretty damn evil. Evil is generally not good...

thus: Palpatine = not good

so Mace DID have a right to do it, in order to keep Evil from ruling the galaxy.

its just, Mace was a moron.

Man, your a moron. Good and evil are MORALS, they difer from culture to culture. There is no such thing as an 'evil person' or 'good person' in the real world, all have potential for both, it's their upbringing that set morals.
