All too late, the Jedi council has realised that Palpatine is in fact the Sith lord Darth Sidious. Mace Windu heads to the Chancellor's office to confront and arrest Palpatine. However, you don't become the leader of the dark side of the force by rolling over and acquiescing to a man with a purple lightsabre!
It is not long before there is a nicely-choreographed-but-ultimately-disappointing-as-we-know-it -is-all-CGI-effects fight scene between Windu and Palpatine. Palpatine is supposedly defeated by Windu, who has the Chancellor at sabre point. I say supposedly as the result is debateable; did the Chancellor lose this battle in order to win Skywalker?
At this moment Anakin arrives and seeing the situation, tries to protect the Chancellor. Windu realises that the Chancellor is too powerful to keep alive and so moves to kill Palpatine, but his attack is stopped abruptly when Anakin slices of his sabre hand. Windu's look of surprise is momentary, as the meek and jaded Palpatine suddenly gets his second wind and with a bolt of lightning, blasts Windu out of the window, to his death.
Okay - so he's called Mace Windu and he dies by falling through the windu! Was this an intentional joke?
I dunno, did he get hit by a mace first?
I love this death, because i think he is one bad mother f@#%er.
What, no screencaps?
None yet!
...Well considering update crawl then...
Well, welcome to the site anyway, Mr. Blofeld!
Well, thank you, sir.
How could Anakin kill one of his own. Well I guess that wat the dark side does to ya.
I hated Mace Windu!!!!!!!!!!! The damn character was hogging all the screen time from all the other Jedi Knights who actually deserved said screen time (Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan etc.) This is not the way I wanted him to die: valiantly fighting the main bad guy before perishing. I don't know how but it's not that way. Also I think Lucas put way too much into this character: Windu is Yoda's second-in-command yet is created as more powerful than Yoda. Windu almost killed Palpatine but Palpatine almost killed Yoda. For shame.
The Jedi Council was more of a..... Council than as you put it, a leader with sub-commanders. Saying that Mace Windu is lower in skill to Yoda isn't really accurate. They both have strengths, not necessarily over one another, same as the remaining ten members of the council, which Lucas decided not to spend time on.
