I like Mace but he's not my favorite...
But for those people that think he's an ass or arrogant... I don't think that at all...
He was being how a Master should be.... Trust me I know, I'm a master of Tae Kwon Do.. When he told Anakin that he is not granted the rank of master, I totally agree. He has to earn his right to be a Master from the other masters... You can't jump from blue belt to black belt without earnting the other belts in between... Anakin showed great disrespect and Mace put him in his place like any master would to his student... 馃槈
