- Waitress: "Anything else?"
- Yoda: "Yes. We would like our meal comped."
Waitress: "Your meal will be comped."

"In my dreams here, I have seen the destruction of the Jedi. The death of the Republic. I have seen the Temple in ruins, the Senate smashed, and Coruscant itself shattered by orbital bombardment from immense ships of impossible design. I have seen Coruscant, the seat of galactic culture, become a jungle far more hostile and alien than any on Haruun Kal.

"In dejarik, there is a classic maneuver called the fork, where a player moves a single holomonster into position to attack two or more of his opponent's, so that no matter which 'monster the opponent moves to safety, the other will be eaten. Caught in the fork, one's only choice is which piece to lose. The word has come to symbolize situations where the only choice to be made is a choice of disasters.
"We are well and truly forked."
―From The Private Journals of Mace Windu

- Nick: "Y'know, I'm gonna give up asking if you're crazy. Let's consider it a standing question, huh? Every time you open your mouth, go ahead and assume I'm wondering if nikkle nuts have started falling out of your earholes. 'Good morning, Nick.' Are you crazy? 'Nice day, isn't it?' Are you crazy?"
- Mace: "Will you be quiet?"
- Nick: "Are you crazy? Sorry. Just a reflex."
- ―Nick Rostu and Mace Windu[src]

"Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm."
―Mace Windu
―Mace Windu
"It has occurred to me, on reflection, that Nick Rostu can be regarded as a test of my moral conviction. A Jedi might conceivably fall to the dark from the simple desire to smack the snot out of him."
―From the Private Journals of Mace Windu
―From the Private Journals of Mace Windu

- Mace: "Kar Vastor is not the most dangerous man on the Korunnal Highland."

- Mace: "I say that because he doesn't know me."
- ―Mace Windu and Nick Rostu[src]
- Mace: "Mount up. Right now."
- Nick: "Shee, still pretty free with the orders, aren't we? What if I just don't wanna? What if I do like thinking about all that stuff? What if I want those people dead? What then?"
- Mace: "Then I will beat you into unconsciousness and ask someone else."
- ―Mace Windu encourages Nick Rostu to assist him[src]
- Mace: "What is Skywalker doing?"
- Obi-Wan: "It appears to be one of Anakin's improvised plans."

- Mace Windu: "You're a Sith Lord!"
- Palpatine: "Am I? Even if true, that's hardly a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact—the last time I read the Constitution, anyway—we have very strict laws against this type of persecution. So I ask you again: what is my alleged crime?"
- ―Jedi Master Mace Windu and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, as Palpatine is revealed to be a Sith Lord[src]

- ―Mace Windu, taking a stern approach with Anakin Skywalker[src]
- Geptun: "I need a little reassurance. If you know what I mean?"
- Mace Windu: "How much reassurance do you need?"
- Geptun: "Ten thousand."
- Mace Windu: "I'll give you four."
- Geptun: "I can keep you here a very long time—"
- Mace Windu: "Thirty-five hundred."
- Geptun: "You insult me. What, am I not worth even haggling with?"
- Mace Windu: "We are haggling. Thirty-two fifty."
- Geptun: "I'm wounded, Master Jedi—"
- Mace Windu: "You mean: Jedi Master. Three thousand."
- Geptun: "Three thousand. I suppose one must make allowances. There is a war on, after all."
- ―Lorz Geptun negotiating with a captured Mace Windu[src]
- Mace: "You certainly do come prepared."
- Confederate: "Yup. Let's have that blaster, eh? Nice and easy."
- Mace: "I wish I could tell you how many times teams like yours have come after me. Not just in alleys. On the street. Caves. Cliffs. Freighter holds. Dry washes. You name it."
- Confederate: "And now you're caught. Put the blaster on the ground and kick it toward my friend here."
- Mace: "Pirates. Bounty hunters. Tribals. Howlpacks." [sets the blaster on the ground and kicks it over] "Armed with everything from thermal detonators to stone axes. And sometimes just claws and teeth."
- Confederate: "Now the lightsaber."
- Mace: "You are better prepared than most. But like all those others, you've forgotten the only piece of equipment that would actually do you any good."

- Mace: "An ambulance."
- ―Mace Windu and a Confederate team leader[src]

- ―Depa Billaba and Mace Windu, on Gargonn[src]
- Palpatine: "I think I begin to understand the reasons for your secrecy. The Jedi are attempting to expose Sidious."
- Yoda: "In pursuit of clues, we are."
- Palpatine: "Might the capture of Sidious end the war?"
- Mace: "Hasten the end."
- Palpatine: "Then I trust that you will accept my apologies. Do whatever you must to hunt Sidious down."
- ―Yoda and Mace Windu, sharing their suspicions about Darth Sidious with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine[src]
