Thinking about Anakin on a psychological level, when Palpatine was shooting lighting at Mace and Palpatine was getting deformed, Palpatine says "Anakin, Help me". Anakin understood these words from the vision he had from Padme saying the exact same words prior to this. Padme cried for help in the same way. Anakin, who is so heartfelt about losing Padme, he would do anything to prevent her from dying. When Palpatine said "Anakin, Help me" he thought back to Padme saying the same thing and saved Palpatine. He answered to his cry like he would have answered to Padmes cry. After he cut Maces arm off, he realized what he done and he was so confused with these strong feelings. I think that is why he did it

...ok...yes, he did it to save Padme, not palpatine per se.

god i hate that part....

Me too... And you must be quite a genius to figure that out... I always thought it was blatantly obvious why Anakin saved Palps...

It doesn't make sense to me.

He's about to kill Palps himself...he runs back and tells Mace...and gets all bitchy when Mace tries to kill him.

And honestly, do you think Palps was just gonna sit there and let Mace kill him?

Needs alot of reworking that scene does.

I don't think palps had much of a choice... his lightning had pretty much failed him and it looked like he was relying on anakin to save him imo...

I vote for Jedi not sucking so bad, and Palps not looking so creepy donatello

I second that.
