Jango Fett vs. Mace Windu.....

AND, his gun wasnt drawn. he was watching the executions. he was defenseless.

?? I could of sworn Jango was shooting at Mace as he came at him!? Or do you mean when he held it up to his neck.... "Partys over!"

no, were talking about when mace first shows up. dooku, nute gunray an jango are on the balcony watching the executions. mace snuck up and held his saber at jangos throat. you are talking about when they are actually in the gladiator pit.

It's not murder if the person is going to try and kill you if you let him go- which is what Jango did. And like I say, Windu holding his sabre to Jango's throat at all was otherwise pointless.

This is why I dont come here that much anymore Rogue. Slacker dosent have people who abuse their power on the boards by closing them for little reasons. 😉

then subdue him. i know that for mace to subdue jango would have been near impossible, what with dooku right there, but i just dont agree that mace could have struck him down with a clear conscience.

SimK68- please keep such comments out of the threads, that was not even vaguely on-topic. Nor is it an abuse of power for me to close a thread which had NO business being in this area- it is in fact my responsibility to do so.

If you have problems with the way things are run, keep them in private. But in the meanwhile we are very happy with the way we run things here.

I think striking Jango down was the onyl thing Mace could have reasonably done in that circumstance; I am sure he could just just disabled him if he wanted.

well, i happen to think that just walking up and striking him down is rather extreme, "a jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, NEVER FOR ATTACK." remember that? ps- disregard my pm, ush. my computer is fine now. thanx for the response.

Seeing as Mace Windu brought his Jedi there on an offensive strike we can only assume that 'NEVER for attack' comment was not meant to be taken literally. As I say, Windu gave Fett clear warning, he didn't just kill him out of hand, he made a reasonable threat for any lawmaker to make, and it would have been consistent with his duty to carry that out if he believed his life or the lives of others was and were in danger, which was so.

yes, but to walk up, not say a word, ignite his saber and strike him down? THAT would have been of the dark side.

No no, strike him down after the bad guys tried something! That was the point, wasn't it? he held the sabre there as in "Try anything and he dies." And they tried something! And then Jango tried to kill him!

heres another question. when jango and mace were fighting in the execution pit and mace was bearing down on jango. its obvious his jetpack was damaged, so he couldnt escape via the air. but, as mace is blocking his blaster bolts, why didnt jango use his flamethrower again? it might have caused mace to back off or leap away, giving jango more room to work with.

I think Jango's blaster was his favourite weapon and the one he thought he was most likely to do any good with.

Well your making it a problem right now, so youre no better than me bringing out here in the open. You also could of simply 'PM-ed' me 😛

still, ush. dont you think that in that situation the flamethrower would have been more effective?

Why didnt Janga's head fall out when Boba picked up his helmet??

maybe because the helmet was a perfect fit, like a football helmet.

OWW MY EARS!!! by the way rogue..do you happen to know who the cgi human was in sw??

uh,no. which episode?

not sure rogue..i read that on a post in the hulk forums..they were complaining about hulk looking fake and someone defended cgi achievements by saying they had to be told a human in SW was cgi..no specification on which episode..im assuming II
