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  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 16:05, 5 October 2006 (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.--User:Graal]Graal 11:01, October 05, 2006 (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.
 * You can checked the Behind the scenes section of Duel in the Chancellor's Office for more details - I work very hard on writing them. Darth Kevinmhk 18:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Death of Mace pic
The flashing skull seems kind of dumb when we have pics that show his death and tell us more about it. I have included two pics for your consideration. - Angel Blue 451 00:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)




 * The current one looks fine to me. Darth Kevinmhk 02:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, wouldn't it be better if we had a pic that said more than, "Mace is being electrocuted"? Or at least showed more of his body? - Angel Blue 451 05:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * Here is a bit better quality version of the left screenshot. - Angel Blue 451 14:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[[Image:Zapped.PNG|thumb|right|250px]]
 * I beg your pardon... but the new one was from the right one! Darth Kevinmhk 15:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So it is. Sorry, still waking up. - Angel Blue 451 15:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
