The Big Picture Senator of Naboo. Chancellor of the Republic. Emperor of the Galaxy. Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Mr. Lightning Hands Himself. Sheev Palpatine has many identities through the Star Wars saga. As much as the prequel trilogy — especially Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith — follows Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace, it also charts Palpatine's rise to power.
How perfect for Palpatine! And how unlikely! The showdown with Darth Maul truly was a duel of the fates . Imagine: If Qui-Gon Jinn survives the fight with Maul, he trains Anakin himself, and Anakin has a mentor who both believes in him and also has Anakin's respect and loyalty . But if Maul kills Jinn quickly, or wounds him in such a way that he cannot communicate, then Kenobi may never feel an obligation to train Anakin at all. .
Anakin hesitates, knowing he should not kill an unarmed prisoner. If only Kenobi were awake, and not unconscious on the floor, he might have inspired an ethical decision, or asked questions. If only Dooku spoke up, expressing his value as a prisoner, Anakin may have spared his life. If only Anakin had done what he knew was right, he may have avoided tragedy later. Alas, Anakin caves to Palpatine's demand, and Dooku's secrets die with him.
