WHY the Emperor saves Anakin

Not sure if this is worthy of a new post or not. I just wanted to know what you people thought the Emperor saved Anakin? The only reason I can think of is because there is no one to take his place. You know "Always Two There Are, Never More, Never Less."

I think that Palpatine recognizes the amount of power and potential Anakin possesses. He is a definite threat, therefore he needs to make him an ally.

Yes. The emperor doesn't really need Anakin anymore except to carry on an old tradition started by Darth Bane.

But why not just let him die JP? Then he would not be a threat.

Yea, the emporer does say he thinks anakin will be the "greatest jedi of all, even more powerful than master yoda."

because I think by then Palpatine has realised that he can get further WITH anakin than without.

Possibly, but who would he have as a back up? The sith are also on then verge of extintion. With no one Force Strong to Train in the dark arts how can they survive?

well, when the sith was thought to be wiped out some thousand yrs ago, they survived by master/apprentice didn't they? it shouldn't be any different here. the sith are sneaky li'l buggers, they can survive armageddon.

anyway, i don't think palp had any backups, he focused on anakin entirely. and if anakin failed, he could've just swooped some baby outta the jedi temple and train him/her.

how could palp do that when anakin and the clone troopers supposibly go and destroy the jedi temple and students. palp saving anakin after his fall might be just as simple as them being friends.

it does make you think.
palpatine knows anakin is the chosen one,
and the chosen is prophesised to kill him and bring balance...

so why did he not kill him right there?
anakin will probably be desenseless...hmmm

and he would have taken over even without anakin

well, more like blessed if he does,
damned if he doesnt.

the stage was already set for palps to take over.
why would he want a sith apprecntice who is more
powerful than him? i understand "if you cant beat em' join 'em"
but he could have easily killed anakin at that moment.

the only thing i can think of is that jedi are left alive when
mech vader is born. what other purpose would vader serve
to palps, other than finish hunting down the jedi?
but would that mean that ep3 ends with jedi still alive?
i know i jump to a conclusion....but i cant figure out an
alternative......anyone?

ani was angry and hateful when he turned mech, u can't expect someone to be rational and know their destiny when they're that.
