Mace Windu Told Anakin to Kill Palpatine #starwars #macewindu #anakin #starwarslore

In the Star Wars Revenge of the Sith novel by Matthew Stover, there’s a moment that never made it into the movie — Mace Windu actually tells Anakin Skywalker, “You’re the Chosen One. You can kill him.” That’s right, Mace literally tells Anakin to kill Darth Sidious. It’s a huge difference from the film, where Windu insists on arresting the Chancellor himself. In the book, it shows that even Mace believed Anakin might be the only one strong enough to destroy the Sith once and for all. But when Anakin returns, he’s not there to kill Sidious — he’s there to save him. And that decision changes the fate of the galaxy.
