Apparently mace had put there barely enough to speak in comprehensible statements. That would explain why he was so silent...
So DUMB badass mace is just as bad as SMART jediwannabe mace.
Neither of the gets the job done, and is eager to cry afterwards. Both for different reasons.
One just cant figure out what the hell went wrong and the other knows that he never ever will be a real jedi.
RPG stats have nothing to do with the movie character.
And dumbass vs. smart Mace, yes, there is a difference. If Mace makes good decisions, if his mind is clear, he is a more effective Jedi. If he makes poor decisions, he is not nearly as effective.
Obviously in Ep. 3, he was torn between his duty as a Jedi and vigilantism. Palpy was unarmed, at Mace's mercy, and he should have been arrested. Mace decided to take the law into his own hands and kill Palpy.
Fine, kill him, dont TALK about it. If he had just ran Palpy through before Annie could intervene, before Palpy had a chance to use his force lightning, shit would have never gotten out of hand.
