REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
But I love democracy
why does a monastic group of keepers of the peace have the jurisdiction to arrest palpatine?
if they got permission from the senate when they told them that they are the only ones capable of bringing him in, then why does the senate believe palpatine when he says that the jedi framed him when he clearly killed them all?
why does the senate then give palpatine absolute power? because they were scared shitless that he would kill them all if they didn't and that the only people who could stop him (the jedi) just lost 4 of their grandmasters?

>Fuck that let's go try to arrest him at night with no witnesses
>Also even though we have security footage, let's not using any damning footage for the media or senate
>Good thing we kept sending the emotionally volatile anakin to spy on him

Read the EU shit. Palpatine spent his entire time in the Senate slowly bribing/replacing people until the majority where loyal to him. He's maximum sneak.

They were going to ask him to relieve his executive powers now that the war was coming to an end. They decided to arrest him when Anakin said he was a Sith
>Fuck that let's go try to arrest him at night with no witnesses
Right, cause it's not like a religious order that normally keeps some distance from the politics of the Republic arresting the Supreme Chancellor cause "he's a Sith, believe us" and taking over the Senate and putting in place martial law in the name of "securing a peaceful transition of power" is gonna go over well or anything.
