"This is where he (Anakin) makes the pact with the Devil. This is the very Faustian pact of trying to do something that he shouldn't be doing. "
―George Lucas in the Revenge of the Sith commentary - The Showdown at Coruscant
"After witnessing Sidious's incredible power Windu decided that he had no choice but to eliminate the Dark Lord once and for all Skywalker pleaded with him to spare Sidious stating that he must go before the Courts. Windu refused, believing that Sidious's influence would sway their decision in the Sith Lord's favor.
Skywalker further pressed that killing Sidious in cold blood was not the Jedi way. But Windu raised his blade to deliver the killing blow, and Skywalker, reacting in a moment of despair, cut off the unsuspecting Windu's sword hand. Sidious instantly blasted Windu with Force lightning and using the Force pushed him out of the window to his death on the streets below. [3]
Skywalker did not realize Palpatine was going to kill Windu [6] and fell to his knees in shock at his participation in the Jedi Master's murder. Sidious congratulated him, telling Skywalker that he was fulfilling his destiny and that he would help him find the secrets to saving Amidala's life.
The Dark Lord cautiously admitted that cheating death was a power only his Master had achieved, thus admitting he did not actually know the secret to stopping death. [3]
Inwardly, Skywalker was surprised and enraged by the deception.[1] He had realized that his new master had been manipulating him and the Clone Wars— the galaxy -wide conflict that had been raging for more than three years between the Separatists and the Galactic Republic —since the beginning.[7] He hesitated because his loyalty to the Jedi lingered, but he considered that he could not return to them after Windu's death and that
Palpatine was still his only chance to save Amidala. He resigned himself to his fate and knelt before Palpatine, swearing an oath to be his Sith apprentice. While hoping his new master and he could discover the secret of immortality together, Skywalker no longer saw Sidious as a friend worth defending. Now, the man was merely a necessary evil worth tolerating until the time was right to take his place."
