mace windu

what does everybody think about his role in the upcoming movies, specifically epidode III? he is the first jedi lucas created, so obviously he must be VERY important to how things pan out at the end of Episode III.

in my mind, that makes his role one of two things: a villian, or a hero. more specifically, since hes head of the council now (and if you disagree that hes not the head, i dont care, thats not what im here to debate) either he betrays the council, the jedi, and the galaxy, or he saves it.

personally, i disagree with the speculation that hes a sith in hiding, for a number of reasons. i think somehow he sacrifices himself to save the the galaxy, pave the way for the rebellion, and possibly something directly having to do paving the way for luke.

I think that possibly he's going to give himself up so obi-wan can get the twins away or something. I thinnnk tha Vader is definitely going to kill him.

so youre thinking a big duel where mace buys yoda and ben time to escape?

Yeah, I think mace, yoda and obi-wan will be standing around with Padme and the kids and they know that Vader is coming to kill them. Mace tells them to all escape and he will face Vader. Lucas could even bring back the Yoda line "If you honor what they fight for" from Yoda in ESB. Mace as head of the Council would sacrifice himself for the greater good. It could be a great scene.

firstly, he is not head of the council i have not seen this proven anywhere, secondly perhaps he will betray that council without any of them knowing and then he will redeem himself by fighting vader.

ok sp10,
there is another thread about who's head... (not going in on that!)
and for crying out loud!!! There is NO traitor in the JC! There is someone who knows the sith were back!

if mace is not the traitor, then he is the hero. and he must do something EXTREMELY heroic, if hes the first jedi lucas created when he wrote the original trilogy. i agree that he will sacrifice himself in some manner similiar to what noel said.

It would only make some sense if Mace is not a sith in hiding. There are only two sith at a time. And we already know the sith in the upcoming movies.

I think that Mace will be in one of two awesome lightsaber fight scenes in Episode III. (If there were more than two I think the movie would get a little repetitive.) He will definitely save lots of people. Sam just too much of a nice guy to go around betraying people. He's supposed to be a likeable character. Just think how annoying it would be to watch him in TPM and AOTC and say, "Wow, I hate his guts."

GL has never really had a character "turn" on us in star wars. no reason for him to start now.

Isn't Mace Yoda's apprentace?

Not that we know of.

but wasn't Yoda the one who trained everyone?

Not exactly what To meant, I think.

ok, but what I ment was...
is Mace trained by Yoda?

Well, I get the feeling that Yoda hasn't personally trained anyone in quite some time. But it's not impossible, I guess.

but he still trained those "juniors" right?

Yes, but that wouldn't be 'personal' training, would it?

nope, but still he gave a part of his life away to them...
must be quite frustrating to know that there could be some of them not completing the training though

Oh, he's a laid-back being...
