Are You Threatening Me, Master Jedi

The new Episiode III trailer is s-w-e-e-t!! I thought I had watched it at work on Friday, but I guess what I saw there was just the “teaser”. The actual trailer is two and one-half minutes long. Here’s a transcript of the trailer including scene settings too.
What I like best so far is The Emperor, or soon to be Emperor, Chancellor Palpatine, going to fight the Jedi. There’s a scene where Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and some other Jedi barge into the Chancellor’s office. The Jedi draw their light sabers. Windu says: “You’re under arrest, Chancellor.” Palpatine replies: “Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?” He then unhilts his own saber from within his sleeve; it ignites; and Palpatine kind of glides/levitates towards the Jedi to attack with his red light saber.
I can only speculate that Palpatine is the one who kills Windu, not Anakin. The rest of the clip shows Anakin going on a killing rampage, wiping out all the Jedi. As you already know, the only two surviving Jedi are Obi-Wan and Yoda.
I can’t wait to see it. But I might have to wait until June because we will be in Greece when it premieres on May 19th. So it looks like the tradition of Pourpa and me watching the premiere of each Star Wars movie on opening day will come to an end with this final installment of the Star Wars saga.
BTW if you haven’t seen the trailer, you can watch it here. So far I haven’t been too successful downloading my own copy of it. It’s very well protected against that. Right click on the link and do a “Save As” to your Desktop or hard drive or wherever you want. You will have to rename the file to a shorter filename because the given one is too long for Quick Time to play. After renaming the file, simply double click on it and enjoy! Blogography Dave has some screen captures of the trailer here.

The Emperor finally revealing himself as a Sith to the Jedi was a very cool part of the new trailer, but I can’t imagine that he is the one to actually take out Mace Windu (who is described as the strongest fighter of all Jedi). After watching the trailer a dozen times, I theorized that it’s Mace who messes up Palpatine’s face and is about to kill him when Anakin jumps in and takes him out. At some point, Palpatine gets some unwanted facial melting, and this is the only time that we’ve seen anybody get close enough to do so. At first I thought it would be Yoda or Obi-Wan, but Kenobi never appears with Palpatine in the trailer, and when Yoda does, his face is already jacked up. Since I doubt it’s Anakin who does it, that leaves Windu. Samuel L. Jackson deserves a strong exit, and being the first Jedi to fall under Skywalker’s fall to the Dark Side AFTER nearly killing the Emperor would be better than many alternatives… like falling in a Sarlac pit or getting mowed down with a group of weaker Jedi.
I guess we’ll soon find out!

Your scenario fits better. I hope it comes true.
