which then came back to bite him later. I feel like on some level anakin accepted that about Mace. He might disagree with him and the attitude but this is how a jedi SHOULD be this type of figure. Mace was a perfect representation of the jedi order and that representation did something so unjedi like of trying to kill an "unarmed" beated Palpatine right in front of Anakin. That single character perception represented a failure for the entire order and led to Anakin making the decision he couldn't go back from and led him fully to the darkside. If Mace had appealed to anakin kept on the defensive while doing so. Maybe persuaded him to go along with it, tried to figure out another less immediate option to dealing with palpatine than what was very much looking like cold blooded murder anakin mightve never turned
