Why Mace Windu is a dink

Ya I really don't understand why he didn't ask Anakin to join him in arresting Palps. Anakin fully regained his trust by ratting out palps. Anakin was the first to figure out who he was, and he turned him in without even thinking. So...

1) If Mace believes that Anakin really is the Chosen one, he should allow Anakin to fulfill his destiny and go with him to get palps.

2) If Mace thinks the chosen one thing is bullshit, he STILL should take Anakin with him, because Anakin is one of the strongest Jedi they have.

Either way, Mace should have asked him to go. I think he wanted the credit for killing him, and it cost him and thousands of Jedi's their lives. If Mace just gave his ego a rest, and took 10 powerful Jedi's instead of 3 Tools with him, this would all have gone differently.

mace was going to arrest palps, not kill him...

he knew anakin was conflicted and that he had a relationship with palps, thats why...

and it seemed obvious had anakin been a good boy and done what he was told, and mace had stopped palps ani would have become a master...

arrest, kill, whatever. They needed the strongest to stop him. Anakin was the obvious choice. Mace fuked up on that call bigtime.

no he didnt... he knew anakin had loyalty to palps, and didnt know if anakin could be trusted... leaving anakin behind was the right thing...

he should have tied anakin down before leaving him, thats the only real mistake he really made. Taking Anakin was a mistake obviously, he cut his hand off!

Anakin interfered NOT because he sided with Palps. 10 minutes earlier, anakin was ready to kill palps. He just reacted to the moment. Follow the dialogue. Anakin doing what he did wasen't him siding with palps. It was simply him saving Padme from his point of view. Palps tells him that the secret to saving padme dies with him. Palps was beat, and near dead. If Windu did just arrest him like he said he would, anakin would never have interfered. At least just cut off palps hands or something so he is weakened. If Mace did that, Anakin would have probably helped. But arrogant old Mace never does the "jedi" way does he. When he decapitated Jango, did you see the look on Dooku's face? It's like he's saying, what the fuk mace. Couldn't you have just wounded him? Jango could very well have been the key to figuring out the origin of the order to make the clone army. And Mace just decapitates him? Nah, Mace is arrogant and foolish and he wanted the lime light for himself.

mace was arrogant. But he had every reason to be. He was powerful and wise and kicked ass....he's one bad ass mofo

Mace was too cynical... it made me hate him.

I agree, some good points.

If this is true, why didn't anakin arrest palps himself after that?

OK, so there is this really powerful jedi who is having an internal struggle over joining the dark side or not . . . I wouldn't have wanted Anakin with me confronting Palpatine, either.

So, Mace died because of his pride. That doesn't mean he wasn't awesome in almost every other way. Even the coolest guys need their fatal flaws. Give Mace a break - when was the last time you confronted a dark lord of the sith, beat him down, and didn't start monologuing? ;-)

it seems most jedi make a lot of mistakes. And aren't very good at fighting off a few clones. LOL I can't beleive people say they cried during order 66 it was so lame, the jedi are not that good at defence.

This thread deserves to die and i hope it burns in hell

well he has a right to be cocy! Before star wars was called star wars was it not called the story of mace windu? 🙂

The way i interpeted that whole episode was...
Darth Sidious willingly let himself get put into that situation, because he knew Anakin would come, and he just pretended to be beaten then started to whine for Anakin to help him.
Because he knew that if Anakin attacked Windu he would be through as a Jedi, and had to commit himself to him.
Didnt you notice that as soon as Anakin attacked Windu, Sidious totally owned him shouting something like, unlimited power!!! and shot bolts of lightning up Windus butt?
It was all part of his evil little plan.

Yes; AFTER Anakin chopped his arm off. Didn't you notice before that he was deflecting the lightning just fine.

Anakin is the real dink that is somthing we can all agree on

pr is right in this, mace simply didn't want anakin to be there if he needed to kill sidious

I still think Anakin would have behaved himself if Mace did the right thing also. All Mace had to do was hack off his hands and feet, and he would be useless. Then they could keep him safely in custody for questioning, or jedi torture or something 🙂

But Anakin only interfered because he couldn't let him actually die. Anakin didn't care if he was severly wounded or not. Anakin didn't even like Palps that much once he found out he was a Sith and was decieving him the entire time. Anakin isn't a total idiot. He knew at that moment that he was played the whole time.
