Originally posted by overlord Yeah, yeah and he also killed Padme from a distance, planned the exact same arrivals of Anakin and the jedi squad and he also planned that Anakin wouldn't be allowed to lead the Grievous campaign.
Oh yeah and he planned that Mace wouldn't kill him right away thus giving Anakin the time to slice off Windu's arm wich also was planned.
Holy Lord, praise Sidious the planning master who controls every little inch of the universe!
agreed
Agreed? Do you agree with my sarcasm or do you really believe it?
Computers can't show sarcasm. But that was obviously sarcastic.

IMO, Palpatine WANTED Obi-Wan to defeat Anakin in Mustafar. Because Anakin was burnt in Lava and turned into a cyborg, he was weakened, making Palpatine strongest man on the galaxy.
"My new apprentice will become stronger than both of us."
I am not to sure that Palpatine expected, or wanted that to happen, he seemed to confident in Anakins power.

Actually, that was one of the few things he didn't see coming. But it worked out either way. If Vader hadn't been burnt up, then he would have tried to kill Palpatine. Palpatine would have convinced Vader he still needed him and kept him as his apprentice a little while longer until Vader was strong enough to kill Sidious and rule the Empire. Thats what I think, at least.

Yeah, and then Obi Wan's journey to the dark side would be complete, making Obi Wan, Palpatines new apprentice.
I agree with what Ush said a few pages back (yet cannot be arsed to quote it).
Of course he didn't want Maul to die, he may not have even wanted the to Republic Ambassadors to be Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
In E3 he suggested to leave Obi-Wan on the Invisible Hand. Of course I doubt he was pinning a lot of hope on this happening but he gave it a shot. You could also suggest that he might not have expected Obi-Wan to kill Greivous - Obi-Wan would then be out of the way.
You can see where I am going with this...
I do like thinking of Star Wars like this however. It makes Obi-Wan seem immensely great.
