What if Mace killed Sidious before Anakin arrived?

During the lightsaber duel between Mace and Sidious, what if Mace managed to kill him before Anakin arrived - what would have been the outcome of the Clone Wars and Anakin's future?

Might've been that Anakin reacted out of anger because Windu's execution, realizing that Padme had no possible savoir with the passing of Palpatine.

Can't you think of the outcome of these What Ifs by yourself? They seem pretty straightforward.

Actually, the savior is...nothing. There is no need. Padme wasn't in any danger. It was that by trying to prevent the non existent danger Anakin killed Padme.

Except Anakin thought that Padme was going to die because of his visions, and Palpatine had convinced Anakin that he could help save Padme by training him to become a Sith Lord. So, to Anakin, there was a need.

Firstly, Palpatine only faked his defeat. Secondly, if he was killed, Anakin would have turned against Mace Windu, unleashed his Force Rage, and after a long battle get killed or wounded at the hands of Windu.

his "FORCE RAGE?" are you serious?

When it comes to Anakin, this guys is always cerial.

then Darth Vader would not have been born... GL would have made episodes 4-6 a whole lot different and the Expanded Universe novels would have been written different as well

South park?

Then Anakin probably would have been like WTF but without actually seeing and hearing Sidious beg for mercy he probably would have kept his allegiance to the Order.

Well it depends on when exactly Anakin came in.If he came in shortly after the duell he might have turned on the order.If he came later/not at all, Mace could have told him the story through his eyes resulting in Anakin staying like he was.

What do you mean, I'm saying Anakin would die.

The Force Rage... thing. Doesn't exist.

But yes, I believe Anakin still would have snapped. Palpatine had already filled his head with nonsense.

For the former Just saying.

Oh blah. That should be just how things work with the Dark Side, not a specific power. Thank you video games.

Agreed. I think Jedi Outcast showed it as a power first?

i don't think Wiki makes it canon to be honest. In every video game so far, it is optional, so therefore not canon yet either.

I agree with your former "doesn't exist" statement.

Force Rage sounds painfully like a pokemon or digimon thing.

I'm in agreement it just seems in SW games the consensus is that Force Rage is a power rather than how DS works.

Seems more like an uncontrolled act in the movies rather than a specifically chosen ability (like the games).
