Yeah exactly, and if they had gotten away, like you said, they’d have no allies. So Palpatine could have just sent a small fleet and gotten them to do an orbital bombardment and the galaxy would’ve been none the wiser.
Yeah that’s true, the republic were on the verge of creating an army anyway, it’s just no one expected there to be one ready made for them right when they needed it. (Which, how would Palpatine have explained it if Obi-Wan hadn’t stumbled on it?)
Ironically if they’d just destroyed the Invisible Hand during the battle of coruscant, all the major player would have gone right along with it. The peace process could have resumed and the war could have been over. And with those three in charge the republic could have returned to what it was supposed to be.
Exactly! And that feeling fills the Clone Wars as well of course, which they did so well. And there’s also, just look at the prequels and you can see the Palpatine seizes any opportunity that comes his way. Padge makes it to Coruscant? He uses her to push for a vote of no confidence. Obi-Wan finds the army? Let’s use it!
