[Star Wars] If Windu/Skywalker wanted to contain Darth Sidious for a trial, how would they do it?

Think of it like chess. You don't need to *take* the king, you just need to put the king into a situation where any attempts to flee or attack will result in immediate death.

Windu underestimated Palpatine, and tried to take the Chancellor in his office. He took heroes of war along with him, and thought such a vulgar display of power would make Palpatine unwilling to fight. That's why they foolishly gathered in the entrance and waited for Palps to make a move.

But had they employed a bit more strategy, it would have been possible for a few Jedi to constrain him. Even later, had Anakin and Windu worked together, with the space between them, they could have defended each other and removed the immediate threat. 

Sidious is very fast, but he's not omnipotent. Yoda could have defeated him if he'd had a capable partner.
