Mugging the Monster: Difference between revisions

* Zigzagged in an episode of ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', where Chancellor Palpatine seems to be doing this, at least from the point of view of the characters witnessing it. When General Grievous barges into his penthouse, he stands up to the General (who has already killed at least three Jedi Knights) calling him a thug and ordering him to be gone. Of course, as the fans doubtlessly know, Palpatine is far more a "monster" than Grievous is, and unbeknownst to everyone (Grievous included) this is a ruse where he is orchestrating his own kidnapping to remove himself as a suspect in the greater conflict.
