Would Sidious(Palpatine) intervene?
We know that Dooku was betrayed by Sidious, when he told him he would intervene in case of defeat against Skywalker. What if, in this case
Sidious said to Dooku to kill Anakin, not capture him like in the novel(ROTS) and lets say that Dooku defeated Anakin and sliced his hands like Anakin did to Dooku in the movies, would Sidious intervene to save Anakins life.
I know Sidious is a Sith Lord(no mercy, compassion and stuff like that) and he didn't care nothing for Maul and Dooku, but i think that deep inside he cared about Anakin, like when he comes to Mustafar and says, there he is and puts his hands on Anakin, to keep him alive, i felt that he generally cared for Anakin, not to mention, that in this make believe scenario Dooku cut of only his one hand(fist),one was already mechanical, Anakin would still become much more powerful.
