    I disagree with what was said about Palpatine requesting Anakin lead the General Grevious campaign. He did that because he knew that the Jedi Council would not do it. It was reverse psychology. Papatine wanted Obi Wan away from Anakin, this is evident earlier in the film when escaping capture. Palpatine says to leave the unconscious Obi Wan behind. Palpatine needed Obi Wan away from Anakin in order that his conversion to the dark side could be completed. ObiWan being so close to Anakin was a large obstacle in Palpatine's way, and he calculated that the Council would send ObiWan to kill Grevious instead. He only reveals that he is the Sith Lord when ObiWan is no where near Anakin and cannot influence him in any way during this crucial time in Palpatine's plan.

      It was more a case of winning regardless what happened. If the Jedi approved of it, then Palpatine can have his golden boy end the war and be the big hero for the galaxy. If the Jedi didn't approve of it, it was more ammo for Palpatine to use against the Jedi to convince Anakin to jump to his side.

    interesting, but you have to ask "why say that Anakin died?" rather than a blow to his plans Anakin's defeat could have sky rocketed his reputation, imagine this:
    *Palpatine gives a speech after Anakin's rebuilding*
    Today the champion of the republic Anakin skywalker nearly sacrificed his life to end the Jedi menace, he successfully destroyed the order and went in pursuit of his old master Obi-Wan Kenobi. However when he offered that he peacefully surrender to the republic, the treacherous master struck him down and cast him into a smoldering lava river. I am sad to say that he was forever scarred by this... But fear not! for our valorous champion lives on!

    All the same, Palpatine's manipulation of the battles Anakin was involved in to ensure a victorious image of the Hero Without Fear backfired on him. Due to his win-loss record, Anakin had become grossly overconfident in his own abilities, believing himself to be truly undefeatable. This would serve to bring down the handsome hero of the people when he dueled Obi Wan on Mustafar, his arrogance getting the better of him and resulting in his severed limbs and horrible deformities. In many ways, the Emperor essentially set his apprentice up to fail with his manipulations giving Anakin a false sense of invincibility.

    Ok here's a question , why didn't Palpatine instead use Anakin instead as a symbol. "I sent anakin to destroy the evil traitorous Jedi and this is what happened to him, what a sacrifice he gave in service to the republic"
    The same way he turned the publics opinions on Windus actions.
    Wouldn't that have made more sense, and made anakin way more sympathetic and loved? Rather than create the terror that is Vader?
    Palpatine would have retained the love of the public by acknowledging that Anakin continued to fight for the new empire, and Anakins identity would be appreciated by the citizens as a hero further.

    • @connerclark3678

      Zahi Abu Ramadan I think Palpatine presumes that looking as handsome is the best PR move. Be a mask if you can’t be handsome, but cry for sympathy if you can be neither handsome nor a mask.
      Palps had no choice but to go for sympathy points after his duel - in the Rebels finale, he still prefers to be a holo-facade of a kindly grandpa.
      He cultivated Anakin as a poster-boy assuming it would be impossible for future imperial officers to see (handsome) Vader and not go “Duh, that’s Anakin from the Clone Wars”.
      But suddenly stuck with scarred and deformed Vader, the poster-boy move was off the table, so it was better to keep a mysterious, scary, masked enforcer on standby and off cameras if his face could be concealed even from elites. In some situations, that was even better than poster boy. (I assume clone Wars-era Palpatine did not expect to demand Anakin to go through Sith life always using a mask/voice modulator SOLELY keep folks like Thrawn and Tarkin guessing; it was a medical necessity with a political side-use).

Would that not boost public hatred for the Jedi, and increase sympathy towards Anakin, thereby winning prolonged support?

I got a similar impression when reading the Revenge of the Sith novelization that Anakin's public image was being built up by Palpatine so that he would inspire admiration and provide a good face for the Empire, a good face that would be loyal to Palpatine (and so direct admiration, respect, and loyalty to Palpatine). It helps when an enforcer is thought of as a protector first.

A "Your hero went through all this, is now ugly and crispy, but he still fights for you!" ploy? Maybe a bit difficult due to his physical appearance, but if it was Anakin's public image the emperor wished to exploit, that option may have made more sense imho. Is there something else I am missing here?
