Mace Windu

""We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers"."

- ~ Mace Windu

Mace Windu is a powerful Jedi master and second-in command to the Jedi council. He appeared in the prequel trilogy of the Star Wars saga and served as a general in the Clone Wars. He engages in a battle with Chancillor Palpatine/Darth Sidious and restrains him. Windu had the upper hand and had Palpatine cornered. Palpatine attacked with his force lightning but Windu blocked it with his lightsaber. The lightning rebounded and deformed Palpatine's face. He then tried to slay the Sith lord but Anakin Skywalker stopped him and severed his arm. Palpatine used his force lightning once more and threw him out of the building to his death.

In the first battle of the Clone Wars, Windu and hundreds of Jedi traveled to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. They fought battle droids and Windu ended up in a stanbdoff with Jango Fett. Windu deflected Fett's shooting and decapitated him. When Yoda arrived with the clones, Windu lead troops into battle and was victorious.

A part of him did not believe that Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one and believed that Anakin was too old to be trained. During the war, Anakin's friendship with the Chancellor increased to a point when the council was starting to not trust either of them. Little did they know that Anakin's friendship with Palpatine would lead to the downfall of the Jedi. When Windu was killed, Yoda could sense it and literally felt the pain from it. He was portrayed by veteran actor, Samuel L. Jackson.
