The Body of Mace Windu

Was Windu's corpse ever recovered in the Expanded Universe? OxfordScholar09 15:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Not that I know of. I wrote it in a fanfic, so I had to research and make sure it never was. If it was, it was not recorded. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 16:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Mace Windu Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nothing on his page on here about it and nothing that I've seen so far about his body being found. 71.196.237.153 04:15, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Mace as Yoda's Padawan

If Im not mistaken, either Shatterpoint or the Episode 3 Novelization confrims that Mace was Yoda's padawan.

Interestingly, Episode 2 notes that Dooku was also trained by Yoda at one point...

Fought well you have, my old Padawan. -Yoda to Dooku, AotC

I visited Dooku's page and saw that it probally needs to be added there as well.

When I find the exact quote for Mace, I'll let you guys know and post it here with the source.

I think I read in Yoda's profile that Yoda was considered to have been every padawan's Master (or to have at least taught them at some point) during the time when he was Grand Master.

But on T'ra Saa's page it mentions that she had trained Mace also. G Vos 17:39, 20 July 2008 (UTC)G_Vos

Well as grandmaster doesn't he teach the younglings? so technically he teaches everyone 71.196.237.153 04:10, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Final Battle

Some of you may want to space me just for even thinking this out loud, but I've always said be proud of what you think, so here it goes. As I read the Episode III novelization, it appeared the Mace kept pushing himself to keep up with Palpatine, and that Vaapad was using your "darkness" with out letting it use you. And also, Mace's love for the Republic, and his reaction that the Jedi Order was under the control of the Sith also gave me some pause. Finally, the fact that Mace was going to kill Palpatine unarmed (but I admit, not defenseless), leads me to what may be a horrorfying thought?

In his last battle, could Mace Windu have been touching the dark side? -- SFH 00:28, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

No of course not! Its a good thought but as you said he was fighting for the Republic he loved! Also Palpatine had control over the Senate and the Courts, a trail would have been useless and in the end the jedi would have had to kill Palps

  • "In his last battle, could Mace Windu have been touching the dark side?"
  • That is a definite possibility. There was a lot that was wrong with the old Jedi Order. If you love somebody, and you think she's going to die, and you go to Yoda with your concerns and instead of comforting you he tells you to be happy about it, how can anybody say there is nothing wrong with that? Face it, those old Jedi were a cult of nutjobs, Windu included.
  • The most telling thing about that encounter to me is that Windu was willing to abandon "the Jedi Way" in favor of expediency. Those old Jedi lived their lives in rigid adherence to a strict code of behaviour. Any deviation from it supposedly led to the dark side, right? It's the reason they weren't allowed to form attachments, the reason they couldn't pursue romantic relationships. Like many things, it came down to the question "do the ends justify the means?" The Jedi Order of old, for all its faults, felt that the ends did not justify the means and that some means were simply not acceptable. Hence the strict code of behaviour.
  • In the end, Anakin felt that the ends justified the means, speficically that the end of keeping his wife alive justified...well, it justified just about any means, including mass murder. So that was wrong. But before he made that conclusion, he tried to tell Windu that killing an unarmed Palpatine in cold blood flew in the face of the Jedi code of behaviour, that those were unacceptable means. Windu said that it didn't matter. In order to rid the galaxy of an evil individual, he was willing to go against the Jedi code. He was willing to do a bad thing for a good reason. If that isn't the dark side, I don't know what is. It's a hell of a lot more dark side than getting married! Man, I'm sorry, but I lost all respect for the Jedi Order when I learned about the ban on having a girlfriend or boyfriend, I mean that's just insane, as is anybody who believes in it. --HanShotFirst 23:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • There is definately descripancy (sp) in the original trilogy's policy on redemption and the prequel's. In Episode VI Luke wishes to redeem his father, but Obi Wan doesn't want to let him. Obi Wan thinks that Vader is dangerous and must die. It would seem that Mace would think the same and he does with Palpatine. But at the same time we have the Code, and the fact that it was not the Jedi way to kill Dooku execution style. All three instances, weak opponents, opponents that could be cut down easily, in one Luke is encouraged to kill the relatively defenseless Vader, but later it is revealed that this would turn him to the dark side, (when Luke cut off Vader's hand.) I think it's not as definate as we make it out to be. By following the Jedi Code with such devotion as Mac and Obi Wan did, they did become somewhat dark themselves.-- Graal 11:01, October 05, 2006 (UTC)

there seems to be a lot of...interesting variations to the jedi moral code throughout the series. also, don't discount the view of some jedi that there is neither light nor dark to the force, that the force weilder is the one who descides. considering this, mace would be really difficult to see as either good or evil. and just because mace was "fighting for the republic he loves" doesn't meen he wasn't evil. technically, anakin was fighting for the love of padme, but we still consider him evil. also, the views of the jedi on morality differ greatly from jedi to jedi, as seen in the differences between the "old jedi code" (no marriage, ect.) and the code that luke establishes later on. seeing as the jedi themselves couldn't seem to come to any conclusions as to good and evil, it's fairly difficult to do so in regards to mace. Bluemoonflame 06:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • True, and the Force is something that may never be fully explained to us. I don't believe Mace was touching the dark side, and if Force lightning is considered a weapon (it's certainly lethal), than Palpatine was armed and Mace could be justified in killing him. Obi-Wan and Yoda certainly intended to destroy the threat of the Sith- by killing both of them, and they didn't turn to the dark side. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 06:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I will not spac e you

Sometimes we have to realize that killing someone is a necessary evil. It's like a police sniper taking out a man who has hostages and is about to kill them. Mace didn't want to take a "helpless" and "untried" man's life, but this man was the ultimate enbodiment of evil that would bear responsibility for the deaths of BILLIONS. He was doing his grim duty. If only Anakin hadn't interfered. 75.14.45.58 02:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I direct you all to the Jedi Shadow article. If anything, those guys were living proof that the Jedi mercy for all life did not extend to those percieved as fallen, despite the "even the dark ones deserve redemption" attitude that pops up here and there. I guess we just have to face that the Jedi consists of different individuals during different time periods. Everything changes. DarthMRN 11:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I would like to object to the statement "about the ban on having a girlfriend or boyfriend, I mean that's just insane, as is anybody who believes in it." The ban makes perfect sense when you look at Anakin, who grew so attached to his wife that we wiped out much of the Jedi order in an effort to gain knowledge he thought could save her. Yoda had the best advice of all: learn to let go of those you are attached to, because nothing lasts forever(except the Force, maybe). In fact, if Anakin had followed Yoda's advice instead of obeying Palpatine, Padme probably wouldn't have died as soon as she did. So I guess Yoda and the other Jedi aren't quite as crazy as some people think.

The Old Jedi law of banning marriage and romantic relationships is like communism, it works in theory but not in practice. Sure, by obeying you can remove the tempations that Anakin faced, but if it hadn't been illegal he and Padme could have opened up and been accepted by the Jedi. Being open with the other Jedi about his relationship might have prevented his fears, or at least dispelled them. He might not have fallen. The history of Star War would have been different, etc, etc. The New Jedi Order Changes this, and I think it works out a lot better. ~Anonymous Star Wars Fan

  • I personally think since they did not find the body, Mace went into exile, like Master Yoda. I like Mace, and he's stronger than that. He could take a beating like that. --66.218.13.95 04:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Was Mace played like puppet during his duel with Sidious?

  • I dont think he was played. But nor do i think Sidious fought to his best ability. I think sids was just stalling for time until Anakin arrived, then he could play the "defeated chancellor". But I think if Sids wanted to REALLY beat Mace, he wouldv tried a heck of alot harder.

Palpatine knew that in order to seduce anakin and bring him to the dark side, anakin had to willingly betray the jedi. He struck down the first three jedi like they were nothing, then kept mace going until anakin showed up. I admit that sidious was not 100% in control, but he did lead mace on.

  • I totally disagree. Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar died so easily because they were not the most powerful Jedi Masters, and they did not expect such a strong and fast response from such a frail looking Palpatine. Anyway, Kit Fisto, after realising how strong Palpatine was, was able to defend himself from Palpatine for a while before Palpatine found a flaw in his Form, Shii Cho. Finally Mace Windu only survived that long because he had mastered Vaapad which countered Palpatine's aggresive form. Mace's Dark Energy countered Palpatines. Venators 07:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
    • I completely disagree with your statement. Tiin and Kolar knew very well what going up against someone more powerful than Dooku would be like. Both of them were revered Jedi Masters and were were some of the most skilled swordsmen in the Order (Shaak Ti would still have been a better choice to bring with) if anything from the EU is to be believed. Additionally, Kit's death was not caused by a flaw in his form, but rather one that Sidious forced him to cause. Shii-cho can be as formidable as Juyo or Ataru if its master allows it to be so. Lastly, Mace survived that long because of his state of mind. Vaapad made him concentrate on his enemy and made him able to ignore Sidious's mental workings. It was not that Sidious's form was weak versus Vaapad; in fact, it may very well have been its archaic variant: Juyo. In the end, however, Vaapad was exploited by Sidious. Sidious knew via numerous conversations that Vaapad made Mace concentrate on his opponent, which means that he would not have seen Anakin's shatterpoint. Hence, Sidious used Windu's own Vaapad against him in the end.Cjh37 04:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Interesting theory that fits, however, I recall in the behind the scenes section something along the lines of master Tiin being able to see the future but being to busy trying to that he was caught off guard and palpatine chopped off his head. However, they removed it because it was too gory and they replaced it with him being stabbed (yet again implying how completely unprepared they were for the power of the dark side). May I add that people are not elected onto the Council solely because of their lightsaber skills but rather because of their wisdom, knowledge and experience. Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto were some of the least skilled (combat wise and strategy wise) which was why they were not the ones leading the assaults/ defenses of key planets during the end of episode 3. And just to add, (sorry if this is offense to any who think otherwise) Shii Cho is one of the most basic and easiest to learn forms younglings are taught this form first because of this. Also, they believed (arrogantly, if I may add)that palpatine would be no match for all of them and hence, the reason they were unprepared> I must agree, however, that your argument is very well set, and I would like to say that I guess we'll never know whether Mace was being played or Palpatine was truly being bested.

Death of Mace pic

  • I dont like the quality / resolution of these 2... though the left one is in my eyes better than the right. I would capture one myself if not for my faulted dvd drive. I'm open to proposals, of course. Between the two I would choose the left. Darth Kevinmhk 10:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Has He Ever Had Hair?

Was Mace Windu bald as a kid too, or did he start shaving his head later? LOL. --69.34.149.82 21:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Flow of the Light and Dark

I'de like to see a section on him and his connection to the dark side. You know, like when he used Force Crush on grevious. They go into a little bit of depth on that on the juyo page.

Death?

How do we know that he died?He may have survived.

  • Ye...no. And sign your comments with four tildes. .... 03:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • MACE WINDU LIVES! Mace is still alive, as the force made an absorbent shield to protect him from the pain. Master Mace 01:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Mace windu does live. if you look at one of the many comic books (I`m not sure which one, sorry!) it says that he uses his liquid cable launcher. He pulls it out and hooks it to the side of the senate building, thus saving his life. That would explain his body never being found. I`d just like to point that possibility out.
    Yeah, and I suppose Jango Fett is alive too, that his head was actually under the false helmet. And I suppose that Darth Vader doesn't die, but instead wakes up after passing out, giving his son a spare set of his armor to burn so he can disappear from the public eye!!
And I suppose that Admiral Ozzel and Captain Needa in Episode V weren't killed by Vader; they just passed out in extreme pain.
Just face it, if Mace Windu is alive, so is every single stormtrooper that Han Solo ever blasted, so is the little Ewok that stops moving in Episode VI. Palpatine probably didn't die in Episode VI either; the dark side blast was just a ruse to make Luke think he was dead...
Think these things sound ridiculous? They're just as ridiculous as the theory of Mace Windu still being alive. He's dead, just like all the other poor and unfortunate jedi. Stop trying to ruin a good, tragic death. My name's Doncroft on Wikipedia. Sorry I'm not signed in.75.14.45.58 02:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I would just like to comment that, according to the article, Mace Windu could levitate, which makes me wonder if he couldn't slow a long fall enough to survive. DenimForce2.0 19:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Just Because he was able to levitate doesn't mean that he could have stopped the long fall out of Palpatine's window. Obi-Wan was only able to slow him down enough to survive with Anakin compensating by bringing the speeder down in Episode II. Mace Windu was stronger than Obi Wan, obviously, but he wasn't good enough to survive that.
  • I know I sound like a snob when I say this, but Palpatine did die there but he didn't "perish from existence" check his little article if you can accept the truth of what I speak... -Kath.Hound 04:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

who knows he could have fallen on a passing by speeder driven by an ewok or or something. The point is WE DON'T KNOW. Unless there is a novel or a comic ( a canon one) saying he is alive with a mechanical left arm we might never know.

A speculation section should be added, because their is no verification of his death at all, remember when we all thought Boba Fett was dead? —Unsigned comment by 76.178.136.87 (talk • contribs)

  • The New Essential Chronology verifies his death. -- I need a name (Complain here) 00:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I say that it is quite possible that he could have lived. Anakin/Vader, Empatojayos Brand, and quite a few other Jedi survived after even worse fights. I think that there will be a novel/comic written soon about Mace's true fate . . . Lanne Thel-Tanis 19:45, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
    • Mace is canonically dead. Chack Jadson (Talk) 19:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
      • So was Boba Fett. I believe that Mace is dead, but I'm saying it is definitely possible that he survives.Jonjedigrandmaster 19:50, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
        • Canon can be changed. But very true, as of yet he is dead. Lanne Thel-Tanis 17:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, even though I know he's dead he could of possibly landed on a speeder and the guy inside flew him to a hospital and then became a farmer like the other jedi but the chances are like 1/50, it IS possible but unlikly

Mace's Clone Commander???

  • I have a purple airbourne trooper figure that came with the Target battlepack, Mace Windu's Battilion. Does that clone commander have a name? Quinlanfan 00:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

His name is commander ponds.

New Introduction?

Hey guys!

What do u think about the introduction we read @wikipedia.com?

Just for those ones who don't know it yet:

Windu is a Jedi Master of legendary status and one of the last members of the Jedi Council before the Great Jedi Purge. He possesses extensive knowledge of Jedi history and philosophy. A diplomat by nature, Master Windu is the Council's primary liaison to the Chancellor, although the Clone Wars caused him to question his firmest held beliefs, and engage more in combat.

Considered a respected Jedi like the venerable Master Yoda, though eight centuries his junior, Windu is a senior member of the Jedi Council, second only to Yoda himself in authority. His wisdom and power are legendary, as is the weight of his words. Though if Yoda is said to be the compassionte heart of the order, then Windu is its chivalrous mailed fist.

Mace Windu is the Grand Master of all major forms of Swordsmanship in the Galaxy, as well as Martial Arts such as Teräs Käsi. He easily rivals master Yoda in terms of skill and mettel in combat, and is the Greatest Warrior of his generation. Windu is also an excellent chief mentor and considered a wise and powerful Jedi Guardian Master of the Jedi Order.

  • I'm sorry, but Mace is NOT a master of all major forms of Swordsmanship (Forms 1 to 7) But is rather just shown to be a master of form 7: Vaapad.

Also it cannot be proven that he is the Greatest Warrior of his generation, as it could be disputed that Obi-Wan, Yoda or Anikan are more powerful. Venators 07:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it's a far better introduction than we have on our page here. What do you think? Shall we change/overwrite it? Or whatever?

  • I believe to take this new intro, it has a more positive and articulated intro. Master Mace 01:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
    • That's the worst fanwank I've read in weeks. --Imp 21:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
      • I think it's pretty good, but I like the one we have now. Oh, and it's "mettle", not "mettel". Lanne Thel-Tanis 17:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Mace Windu v.s Palpatine

Palpatine can't even defeat Windu, when Windu is less powerful than Yoda, and referring to the Senate Battle, Palpatine actually beat Yoda? How could that be, Yoda is a Grand Master and Windu is Yoda's apprentice! --Master Chief Petty Officer 10:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Because George Lucas didn't want him to be one. Besides, apparently it's a secret technique tied to the Will of the Force that has to be learned.
  • It's possible that when Yoda was fighting Sidious, Sidious was probably using Yoda's doubts against him, and Jedi probably were still being executed during the fight, so I think that is the only reason that Sidious defeated Yoda. Otherwise, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.--Chip 03:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I think this is discussed more extensively in the Palpatine discussion area, but it is unknown whether Mace really defeated Palpatine, or Palpatine threw the fight in order to make a stronger case for the Jedi turning rogue to Anakin (who was watching). As for being a Force ghost...the technique was learned by Qui-Gon & taught initially to Yoda & then to Obi-Wan. No canon mention of Mace learning it. And about the Senate Arena (Yoda vs Sidious) fight...ok, i daresay the novelization gives better insight to the situation. Could be Yoda purposely allowed himself to be bested in order to save the knowledge he gained during the battle (refer RoTS novel). But in the movie, it's rather clear that even if Yoda was not defeated, he couldn't carry on fighting for reasons described in the novel. In a way, I'd say Palpatine did win. -Naz-

Anakin didn't learn it, but was able to acheive being a Force Ghost. I think it's possible Mace did as well. --166.204.70.225 06:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Darth Rhett

Source for Tra Saa instructing younglings?

Source for Uda Khalid killing his parents?

The article with Uda Khalid is in Star Wars Tales, os is not necessarily canon is it (if so should the pic be removed)? Also, the article says his parents were dead when he was chosen as a Jedi, but the pic at the bottom, though not canon shows his parents. Which of these should not be included? Micah Giett 20:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that we should keep the pic. and name that other jedi taking him. User:ivel

  • Yeah, we should totally name the Jedi taking away Mace. Taht would be teh aw3s0m3! Oh, wait. This isn't a fanon wiki. Ivel, go read about what we do here. And, for future reference, "delete" doesn't have an "a" in it. Cutch 05:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Something has to be changed...

So one of the quotes in the article says

"...each whirl of blade and whipcrack of lightning was a strike in defense of democracy, of justice and peace, of the rights of ordinary beings to live their own lives in their own ways. He was fighting for the Republic that he loved." —Mace Windu, as he fought Palpatine

But the describing text of a picture, showing the very same fight, says

"Mace Windu fights for his life against Darth Sidious."

So unless someone is gonna say that Windu was convinced that he was democracy, justice, peace, the free will, and the republic I think one of those should be changed/removed.

I would say loose the second one. He is a Jedi. I'm no StarWars-fanatic, but I remember something telling me that "the life of a Jedi is not his to live", that he's is supposed to be willing to sacrifice his life for the greater good, [add arbitrary heroic statement here], etc. etc..

Of course, you could say that he was fighting for he's life so he could strike lightsabers left-and-right for democracy, justice, peace, the free will, (I'm not gonna cotinue). But that would still mean that he wasn't fighting for his life.

How is Mace pronounced? In Star Wars Battlefront it sounds like they're saying "mesa" Windu. —Unsigned comment by 67.150.174.240 (talk • contribs)

Windu's Quote

This can't be right. In the part with the Duel in the Chancellor's Office, it has a quote with Mace saying:

"…each whirl of blade and whipcrack of lightning was a strike in defense of democracy, of justice and peace, of the rights of ordinary beings to live their own lives in their own ways. He was fighting for the Republic that he loved."

Windu died during the duel, and he didn't become a force ghost, and he didn't say it during the duel, so how could that be canon? Trebor23 17:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't know what this section is about, but here are the answers: 1) Who said he became a Force ghost? He obviously didn't. 2) He didn't say that. It is an excerpt from the novel. - TopAce 21:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I get it now. I said he didn't turn into a force ghost. But if it was from the novel, it was weird, 'cause if it ws from Mace's point of view, wouldn't it say something like, "He is fighting for the republic he loves"? --Trebor23 22:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • It's a story told in the past tense. It's a narrative tool. I think it is related to the preface of the novel, in which it says: "It happened a long time ago and nothing can be done to change it." - TopAce 22:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • How can Mace not become a Force ghost since he is the second best swordsman in the Jedi Order during his time?Jasonfu 20:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Power has nothing to do with it. See Force ghost. It has to be learned, and Qui-Gon Jinn was the only one who knew how - Yoda and Obi-Wan learned from him. Then again (again from the Force ghost article) Anakin Skywalker became a Force ghost upon his death, though he hadn't learned the technique. The article says that the spirits of Obi-Wan and Yoda brought him to the other side with them. I suppose Qui-Gon could have done this with Mace, but then again he might not have been powerful enough to do that, as he was never known to appear as a Force ghost, only as a voice.

I really don't see how that was related to the discussion above, though. :-) --Crazy Jedi Girl 17:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Die like some punk?

Jasonfu 20:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)The article said that Jackson would not work in the episode 3 if Mace Windu dies like some punk. Can somebody define the 'Punk' for me please? By the way, does Mace's lightsaber really have the words 'Bad Motherfucker' attached to it?

Should this be reported?--Doncroft 03:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

According to legend, (I'm about 90% sure, I read it in Entertainment Weekly which is pretty reliable) the initials B.M.F are on the hilt of Jackson's lightsaber. This is a reference to Pulp Fiction, in which Jackson's character Jules had a wallet with B.A.M.F (I think you can figure it out ( :) on it. Also according to legend, it was Jackson's idea to have a purple lightsaber, as he wanted to stand out more from the other Jedi. ~Anonymous Star Wars Fan

It was one of Samuel L Jacksons Demands that he didn't die like a punk. meaning he Didn't get shot from behind or killed while unaware like most other jedi. He dies in a blaze of glory and goes down fighting.(whoever deleted this last time you have no reason to do so. don't do it again) "There is no escape"-Darth Vader 17:43, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Why is the picture of Windu's lightsaber removed? There are alot of pictures on this thread, but a Jedi's lightsaber is like a trademark, there should definately be a close-up of Windu's hilt on the page

Flying?

I just added a citation needed tag regarding his supposed abilities to fly. I have never seen or read of evidence that he can out right fly. If anyone has the specific issue in a comic, page in a novel, or other information of that, please add it to the references. If not, I am removing that ability from the discussion of abilities.24.239.162.211 05:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)Anonymous

All right, it is three days later, so I am going to cut that part out. If anyone has citations for it, do please readd it and add them.24.239.162.211 06:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)Anonymous

New Quote

I added a new beginning quote, as I thought the old one "A wise man once told me that we don't have to win all we have to do is fight," was not very relevant. Should it be changed back? TheCoolestDude 13:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Mace's Talents

Shouldn't the stuff on Mace being able to land six blows in the blink of an eye and tear battle droids to pieces and the like be qualified with something along the lines of "it was reported by a very small boy that...". Mace clearly couldn't REALLY do that (well, I suppose you could argue that Sidious and/or Dooku were surpressing the Jedi's ability on Geonosis, hmmm, I quite like that) since otherwise the Geonosis battle would have been less of a battle and more of a tin can opening party.

Well, we shouldn't believe everything from the cartoon clone wars. If we did we'd all be thinking that Grievous could take on Ki-adi mundi, Aayla Secura and numerous other jedi at the same time and not to mension a Clone commando task force. Quite fascinating, seeing as Kenobi killed him with a blaster. It was a cartoon series and cartoons need overpowered supervilliains and overpowered 'look at me I can fly' jedi who can take out the bolts and nails of a superbattledroid just by waving his hand. Let's just say the force was with him that day , lucky man. - Dries 12:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Mace's Talents (2)

I would have to disagree that the cartoon version of Clone Wars displays an exaggerated account of Jedi abilities. All throughout the Star Wars mythos, characters are portrayed as having rather spectacular applications of Force power. Why a licensed cartoon (executively produced by George Lucas) should be considered anything less than C-canon is beyond me. If Palpatine can hurl multiple senate pods at Master Yoda (a utterly powerful and caricatured display of Force ability especially for one seemingly as old and feeble as Palpatine), it stands to reason that Master Windu was quite capable of dissassembling and defeating super battle droids with the Force. Many noted Force users have given insight to the magnitude and variety of its power. Qui-Gon Jinn once stated,
"The ways of the Living Force are beyond our understanding... But fear not. You are in the hands of something much greater and much better than you can imagine."
―Qui-Gon Jinn

That being said, it stands to reason that just because one cannot fathom a Jedi "who can take out the bolts and nails of a superbattledroid just by waving his hand", doesn't make it impossible. Also, never was it stated that the account of Mace's actions on Dantooine were recounted by a "very small boy". If you look closely at the cartoon, the small boy was rather far away from the rather crowded battlefield. I don't think his eyes were too capable of seeing so close and differentiating who's who, unless he paid attention to the distant purple glow of a certain Jedi master's lightsaber. But remember also that Mace's lightsaber was separated from him during most of that battle, hence the display of his physical prowess and command of the Force. If by chance I am wrong about the "very small boy" thing, please correct me by all means. Tommy9281 01:19, 06 December 2007 (UTC)

As for General Grievous, it is stated that the Battle of Hypori was his first public appearance against the Republic. The Jedi that fought him were unprepared for such an adversary the likes of which none of them had ever seen. I have to believe that were it not for Obi-Wan's clone detatchment's timely arrival, the Jedi battling Grievous would all have perished. And remember also that the clone troopers caught him at unawares and chased him off. He knew then that he wasn't invincible. By the time of the Battle of Coruscant, Grievous had already killed numerous Jedi, but they (the Jedi Order) were aware of him and were most likely preparing themselves to face him again. Though he had bested his fair share of Jedi knights (including the four charged with protecting the Supreme Chancellor), he had not yet faced their hammer: Mace Windu. Master Windu's crushing of Grievous' chestplates served as the catalyst for Obi-Wan to further damage them and end the threat that was Grievous once and for all. In short, the Jedi were unprepared for him at first, but as he made a name for himself the Jedi became familiar enough with him, allowing Master Kenobi to destroy him.

Flying (2)

In the shatterpoint novel it said that Mace flew out of the bunker ceiling after Kar Vastor. I don't have the exact chapter/page/scenario, but when I do I will cite the reference. In the meanwhile, if someone else knows of what I speak please update this post. Tommy9281 01:19, 06 December 2007 (UTC)

Windu's Saber

Could anyone state the source that says that Mace's crystal is given to Mara Jade?

Mace's crystal was not given to Mara Jade. At the end of Star Wars: The Last Command, By Timothy Zahn, Mara Jade is given Luke's lightsaber (which isn't purple/violet) to be able to be trained by Luke to try to reestablish the Jedi Order.

Mace and Count

Why do people say Count Dooku is stronger then Mace. i thought Yoda and Mace were the best known jedi.

I don't really know but Count Dooku DID beat Yoda in Attack of the Clones - 82.46.6.188 12:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

ROTFL! Dooku beat Yoda; Dooku ran from Yoda twice during the clone wars with his tale between his legsCouncilor 'Rumilee 01:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

  • In Star Wars: Obsession there is a brief duel between Mace and the Count. And we see that Dooku calls his MagnaGuards so he can retreat from the fight, like he always does. I guess that answers the question of who is the better swordsman.--Seth danny 00:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Dooku did not beat yoda. he incapacitated obi-wan and anikin. then yoda showed up and dooku ran away into his solar sailer.

Did the clones hate him

Did any of the clones dislike Mace? After all he killed Jango who I guess technically was the "father" of the clone troopers

In The Cestus Deception it states pretty clearly that they sort of "admire" the Jedi for being able to kill Jango. Ridiculously convoluted, but that's how it seems to work. Ellethwen 22:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Karen Traviss gives of the idea that none of the Commando's really thought much of Jango in the first place, they where closer to there sergents, but the Cestus Deception looks at it as though the clones greatly admired Jango, so you can look at it from either way really. 82.46.6.188 17:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Jango

Should we put a caveat in there that he managed to defeat Jango largely due to the influence of the reek? I mean, while he did kill Jango, not mentioning Jango's backpack failed to deploy or that he had had most of his equipment missing after defeating a future member of the Jedi Council who later defeats the man who helped kill Mace seems...unfair to poor Jango. Luckyluke37 06:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. That is pretty much covered in Jango's page, and it doesn't really relate to Windu himself. Though it should be expanded a little. 20px Darth Greig (Talk) 21:12, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I think it defitly should be mentioned, how about this "During which Mace beheaded a bounty hunter, Jango Fett due to a jet pack failure" It's only a couple of extra words and it helps the reader to better understand what happened, also the fact that it don't really relate to mace isn't entierly true.

Quote Link

On the Powers and Abilities section, the link for Vaapad at the end of the quote leeds to the artice about the creature, not the lightsaber combact form. Shouldn't it be the page about the lightsaber form? -Master Storm 20px (Battle the Storm) 19:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

T'ra Saa

If Mace states that T'ra Saa was one of his best teachers when he was a learner and she confirms that, musn't she be mentioned as a known master?

The article also says that he trained under her at some point.--Seth danny 01:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Force Unleashed video game

I realize Windu makes an uncanon appearance in The Force Unleashed both in duel mode and as a bonus skin, but Kota briefly mentions Windu's name at one point onboard the Rogue Shadow, if you hover over him in the Customize Lightsaber section. I'm not sure if that would be considered a canonical mention, since it doesn't happen as part of the story itself, so I'll leave the note here before I change the article and start something negative. // ~mikah~ 23:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Killing Of His Father?

On Boba Fett's page, late in his history, in the section titled "Second Galactic Civil War" it mentions that Mace Windu killed his father. Yet I've seen that either his parents died before he was taken, or they didn't have interaction. Just noticing, maybe take a look at it.68.60.249.190 02:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Windu killed Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett. Windu didn't kill his own parents. —CC7567 20px-Rex.png (s)talk 03:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Maybe if it could be worded differently. "...since Mace Windu killed Fett's father, Jango, etc." Just saying that I honestly thought it meant Mace killed his own father and it confused me.68.60.249.190 03:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

bad language

just would like to mention that kids normally use this sight. mace windu is a character they might look up. in the behind the scenes, the "f" word's used, and i just thought it might be important to fix. true, it may mean that, but just blurp it out and have it say "bad mother f*****" or something.
