If people are allowed to cite already harsh things as being similar to the Patriot Act when it came out years later in the Harsher In Hindsight article, this certainly can and should be mentioned as well. And besides, just listen to the two speeches between Palpatine and Obama about reorganizing the Executive Branch to consolidate power in that area. They\'re so similar that Obama almost copied Palpatine word for word.

* HarsherInHindsight: Nearing the end of the movie, Palpatine declares his intent to reorganize the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire. The already horrifying prospect is made even more harsh recently after Barack Obama declared to reorganize the government to make the Executive Branch the most powerful and unquestioned position, under eerily similar reasons to Palpatine, during his 2012 State of the Union address.

This seems like it\'s just going to start flame wars at best.

Add-on materials including the novelization reveal [[spoiler:he was angry at Anakin for losing to Obi-wan and considered leaving him for dead since he was crippled both physically and in his strength with the Force. The only thing that convinced him otherwise was that Anakin would still be powerful even in this state]].

* IdiotPlot: Much of the reason Anakin loses trust in the Jedi and eventually betrays them is due to ''them'' not trusting ''him'', thus giving him good reason to do the same. In the end, Anakin's betrayal of the Jedi was as much them pushing him away as him turning his back on them.

Had he truly been a complete monster, he wouldn\'t have been redeemed in Episode VI.

** Mace's survival is at least somewhat plausible. He loses his hand, gets zapped by lightning, and tossed from a significant height, all of which Jedi are shown to be able to survive throughout the saga (although never all at once.) Secura however, gets shot in the back by at least a dozen troops at near point-blank range, and her body ''continues to be shot'' as the camera pans out.
