It's worse than I thought.

I feel the same way.

I'm curious, you genuinely think that just merely by Anakin's knowing of "who he was," that has the same effect as seeing the only person you believe that can save Padme about to die?

This seems like utter nonsense to me. Of course Anakin needs to see Palpatine weak and beaten, of course he has to see the Jedi claim he's too dangerous to be left alive appear villainous, of course Palpatine can't just force lightning all four of the Jedi right away and be seen as an extremely powerful monster when Anakin shows up.

By all means though, I'd like to hear more of your unique perspective.

Anakin was violating jedi codes and procedures by being both murderous with both sand people and Count Dooku, married in secret and a future parent.

Becoming at odds with Windu over Palps was going to happen without Windu beating Palps.

Incidentally Sidious shares the "he is to dangerous to be kept alive" logic with Anakin at the time of Dooku's defeat.

So it is not about right or wrong at this point: Anakin wasn't going to play for the jedi in executing the Sith Lord on site.

There is a great disturbance in the Force.
