What would be his charges if he did stand trial?

That's why Windu wanted to kill Sheev. He knew from the start they wouldn't stand a chance in a court of law.

then anakin was right to stop the unjust murder or a senator

What would be his charges if he did stand trial?

charged for trying to make the galaxy great again

Probably the star wars equivalent of...

Treason

Sedition

Acting under color of law

Obstruction of justice

Resisting arrest

Assaulting an officer

Inciting insurrection

Maybe some other stuff. It's the treason that would really nail him.

Being a Sith is not illegal in the Republic

being the Sith behind the war is

Rather, the Jedi were wrong to tie themselves to an increasingly corrupt political institution instead of the will of the living Force. Anakin worked within the rulesets he was given and those rulesets were bad.

He was trying to protect the galaxy from the incoming Yuuzhan Vong invasion, which caused 300 trillion deaths due to Palpatine not being in charge. Thanks Luke.

No evidence

Except all the holographic phone calls he made telling Dooku and Grievous and Gunrey to do evil things.

sheev is a sovereign citizen that only recognizes common law

i told you the jedi were practicing under maritime admiralty law!

Post-hoc justification for a Dark Sider obsessively accruing power as Dark Siders are compelled to do.

sovcit Palps schizo-rambling in a courtroom

I'd fucking pay to see Ian doing this.

instead of the will of the living Force

instead? how do you know that the jedi serving the republic is not the will of the force?

Damn I guess 300 trillion people dying is acceptable if it means some guy can't accumulate governmental power.

Unfortunately for you, my miranda rights were never read to me... master jedi... all charges are dismissed.

Of course he was.

There is no proof Sheev is behind the war.

The Jedi have to access to these calls. They didn't even know they occurred.

it's jurisdiction then

no your honor, you see I am the private individual sheev palpatine NOT the legally liable entity and at any rate I wasnt driving the speeder I was merely travelling in my conveyance

It's travelling then

IT’S TREASON THEN!

It's grounz then.

I would know by what power I am called hither. I would know by what authority, I mean lawful.

Yeah. If you want democracy you can't have Professor X mind controlling the senate. Eat the cake or have it.

The Sith have been the enemy of the Republic for thousands of years. It's like an ISIS member being the US President.

eating a meal, a succulent neimoidian meal

If you want democracy

Because that's the plot. Less glibly, Jedi leading a mercenary army to genocide tax evading species in the outlying systems shouldn't be their modus operandi.

Or like a soviet asset being the president

Next case!

I'm just the messenger.

this is the ONLY sovereign citizen case that was actually legit because he was LITERALLY a sovereign

Unregistered lightsabre.

Because that's the plot

no, the plot is that the jedi and the rest of the good people in the republic were deceived by a sith lord who fostered corruption within it in order to control it and gain power. stop reading fan fiction and pay attention to the actual movies

More like a descendant from a Norman king becoming president of the US if you consider the timespan.
The Sith were gone for roughly a millennia at this point.

Bro, I got shoved out of the right vagina, ergo I can do whatever I want.

Pretty 'tarded, if you think about it.

Wow it's almost like the Jedi being tied to corrupt institutions was one of their tragic flaws that led to their downfall. As in, the plot of the movies. Or did you get to the end of the saga thinking that the Jedi were flawless?

Death of Quadrillons of being from the Clone War he started and ran so uggh high treason and conspiracy

Or did you get to the end of the saga thinking that the Jedi were flawless?

I got to the end of the saga thinking they were not a corrupt retarded bureaucracy because I began with Star Wars (1977) and ended with Return of the Jedi.

Wow it's almost like the Jedi being tied to corrupt institutions was one of their tragic flaws that led to their downfall

so you can't even read basic sentences? kek

the jedi serving the republic is not a flaw or what led to their downfall. the sith and their machinations were what led to their downfall

imagine thinking a Anon Babble screencap is in any way relevant to anything kek

He did fund and support the separatists who were in open war against the republic. How is that not a crime?

Barrak HUSSEIN Obama?

The Jedi were utter jobbers thoughever and the Sith machinations pretty easily raped them over

Refusing to give up his emergency powers at first, maybe tacking on manipulating a galactic war on both sides. After he flipped out his lightsaber and did his spin trick he added on the murder of three Jedi.

By the power of might makes right. Same power that the world has reolved around since the dawn of time.

And you totally missed the point of Qui-Gon defying the council. And how that contrasted with Obi-Wan licking council and senate boot at every opportunity. You missed their hypocrisy and arrogance, Dooku telling the truth only to be rebuffed by Obi-Wan for example, and how Luke was presented as the evolution of the Jedi in the OT. If you think the Jedi were flawless in the PT you weren't paying attention at all.

Refusing to give up his emergency powers at first,

political disagreement, not against the law

maybe tacking on manipulating a galactic war on both sides.

see above

After he flipped out his lightsaber and did his spin trick he added on the murder of three Jedi.

self defense from unlawful arrest

The Jedi used their influence to get the Republic to ban the Sith religion waaay before the prequels. In exchange the Jedi basically became government enforcers.

The only funding I recall was that of the clone army. He was hyping the Neimoidians up at the same time that he was supporting the taxation that the separatists viewed as an existential threat but everything he did with the separatists was under an alias.

he literally killed a bunch of jedi 10 seconds prior

justified self defence resisting an illegal arrest

Self Defense. Besides, there were no witnesses. Mace should've brought a camera crew.

I didn't miss anything. you did. maybe next time try paying attention to what george lucas himself says and establishes in the movies instead of listening to filoni fan ramblings

The Jedi used their influence to get the Republic to ban the Sith religion waaay before the prequels

nice fan fic. i'm sure there's a board for that crap

let's ignore those murders... he's being arrested for his religious beliefs

gotta love Anon Babble nonsense

instead of listening to filoni fan ramblings

kek people do put too much stock in his fan takes, that's for sure

did you ever hear the tragedy about plagies the sovereign?

he had such a knowledge of blacks law dictionary that he could even travel without any id or registration

a scene in AOTC the walk n talk scene between Obi, Yoda, and Mace, they specifically refer to Jedis becoming arrogant. Jedi Masters noticing this, and the irony is that they themselves were a bit as well. Which only makes sense because that's where the other lower ranked Jedi get their teachings and lessons, from the masters who are already arrogant, high n mighty. Especially Mace. They literally sit at the top of very tall Ivory Towers.

What would be his charges if he did stand trial?

Rape and probably tax evasion

LMAO. Yoda was literally pointing out that Obi-Wan was suffering from the same FLAW that he was complaining Anakin has. Arrogance is not part of the Jedi way, and they don't teach it to anyone. Nor do they do nothing but sit in ivory towers.

You people have lost the plot. Can't even tell the forest for the trees anymore.

Maybe we'd give a shit if it wasn't a war between droids and manufactured people. What was Lucas thinking?

George himself said that the Jedi were intended to be diplomats and negotiators and that them being drafted into war by Palpatine due to their political ties was what dislodged them from their true purpose and spread them thin enough to be destroyed. They were complacent and lost sight of the true threat right under their nose.

“The Jedi are always sort of fighting this reality of the fact that they’re, in essence, diplomats. They sort of persuade people to do the right thing, but their job isn’t really to go around fighting people. Yet they’re now used as generals and they’re fighting in a war, and they’re doing something that they really weren’t meant to do. They’re being corrupted by this war, by being forced to be generals instead of peacemakers.”

“The Jedi, they don’t attack, they only defend. Yoda didn’t attack until the [Attack of the Clones]. […]

There’s a conundrum ultimately. It’s been there forever. Which is, are you just going to sit there and let them kill you? Or your loved ones? Or destroy the world that you know? Or are you going to try to fix it? At some point, you do have to stand up for what you believe in. Obviously, I can make my religion be whatever I want it to be. It doesn’t have to be consistent. If a cobra’s going to strike you, I think you have every right to put a stick up there and hit him over the head. Because it’s either him or you.

Of course, this is the mythology of the cowboy. They always put him in these crises where you have to choose between your own personal values and the practicality of what you need to do. You’ve got to pick up the sheriff’s badge even though you had all these problems in the past. You’re going to have to go out and kill people again. Even though you said you’d never do it.”

Did that kill the thread

This isn't a very good painting of Ross Scott.

You keep misinterpreting everything anybody has to say on the matter. Calm down..

It was self defense!

they still had a choice, they could have decided to dodge those laisersword swings. also, self defense

Conspiracy to committ racketeering
