Did Palpatine influence Anakin with the Force when he said "Do it!" ?


I might be reaching here, but I don't know anyone who's really in to Star Wars, so you're my only hope.I just watched the scene, and at 2:58 as Anakin is struggling and Palpatine commands him to execute Dooku, there is what sounds like that deep bass sound used to identify the Force in use, followed immediately but the drums of the music. Maybe it's all the music and I'm imagining things, but I really do wonder if Palpatine used the Force to give Anakin that push he needed at that critical moment where, in his uncertainty and after perhaps tapping into his anger to defeat Dooku, his defense against the Dark Side might have wavered. It struck me as sort of like the Command spell in D&D and the novelizations, where a spoken order carries magic to attempt to coerce the target to take the action.Anakin immediately after was like "wtf did I do." Maybe he was in the moment, or maybe he quite literally was not himself? via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2qEdIdl
