In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin goes to the Mustafar system and kills the separatist leaders in one of the most epic scenes in the movie (the music itself is enough to make it great), highlighted by him avenging Padmé and killing Gunray, who was behind her assassination attempts. 

However, I’m confused about Anakin’s perspective in all of this. When Palpatine orders Anakin to “go to the Mustafar system and wipe out viceroy Gunray and all the other separatist leaders”, Anakin should be asking how does Palpatine know they are there. One answer could be that Anakin knows Palpatine orchestrated the war and needs them killed now (we as an audience know this is the correct explanation). Another answer might be that Palpatine learned their location through Republic spies. My point is that Anakin has a few possible explanations for this.

But later on, when Nute Gunray is begging for his life, he says “Lord Sidious promised us peace, we just-“ and gets killed. Naming Palpatine as ‘Lord Sidious’ and ‘the promise’ proves and confirms to Anakin that Palpatine and Gunray did have at the very least some type of deal, if not more. He can discard the “Republic spies” explanation because he now knows how Palpatine learned of Mustafar and the separatists.

So Anakin knows that 1. Gunray and the separatists were behind Padmé’s assassination attempts in Attack of the Clones, and 2. Palpatine had some sort of deal with them to the point that Palpatine knew the separatists were in Mustafar, perhaps even deduced Palpatine orchestrated the war. But that would’ve made Anakin furious. His entire motivation is to save Padmé’s life with Palpatine, so him learning that Palpatine was behind, or at least allied with, the people responsible for trying to kill her, he should be betraying Palpatine at that moment. At the very least, stop following him. I repeat, his entire motivation is to save Padmé’s life.

Idk maybe I’m confused with Anakin’s perspective and what he does and doesn’t know. Hopefully posting it here might help me find answers.

Did Anakin learn Palpatine orchestrated the Clone Wars?
