Alliance, is your whole little rant about Jedi and Sith and how Mace Windu is not a benevolent individual you completely overlooked a very key element: The Force.
Mace Windu, as a Jedi could begin to forsee the events that would transpire through his inaction. Just look at what happened when the Empire was in power. Mace Windu, through the use of his Shatterpoint ability (referenced in the ROTS novel, making in completely valid) could see a way to nullify that future: through Sidious' death. He did nothing out of anger, he did it for the goodness of the galaxy. He didn't care about whatever political circumstances or penalties he might face.
He was morally straight, and violating the law when it is unjust is completely ethically acceptable.
Or, Would you stay loyal to England and fight against George Washington in the 1770's? Do you see anyone who was drafted and didn't fight for a course they don't believe in as a morally plagued individual? If it were the 1850's would you own slaves or label anyone who released slaves illegally as unethical? Would you tell Stormtroopers or Nazi MP's where Jews were hiding under Hitler's reign in Germany?
If not, then maybe you see my point. If so, then, I think your credibility may decrease a significant amount.
