Mace Windu Alive?

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2005-05-24 02:47am

I toyed with this subject before ROTS came out. Does anyone think Mace Windu could possibly still be alive? Luke survived everything Mace went through in ROTS, though not all at once.

Anyone who votes "Its a distinct possiblity" must be hunted down, and have their balls toasted off, so that they may not propagate their idiot seed on this Earth.

Mace is grass, and Palpatine is the lawnmower.

Well, when the Emperor zapped Luke, he was looking to maximize the young Jedi's suffering for as long as possible. You can see that the intensity of the force lightening was increasing with each blast.

However, when frying Mace, Palpatine tapped into Unlimited Power and hit him with everything he had. As much of a BMF Mace is, he was still screaming in agony before being thrown out the window.

I think poor Mace was little more than a charred stain on the streets outside the Senate.

And he fell about 400 stories onto ferrocrete. Ouch.

Did he? There was no possible way he could have saved himself? (See Obi-Wan, in AOTC)

His arm was sliced off and he had just been subjected to enough force lightning to kill a forum full of trektards. I really dont think he could summon enough focus to do a force push or guide himself to an air car.

I'd say it's a possibility...not too likely, but a possibility.
However, given the fact that he doesn't show up again in the later movies, I'd say that if he did survive, he's either so injured that he withdraws from the scene, or maybe is amnesiac or something weird like that.

Since Palpy had the voltage turned up to the Skeletal Incandescant setting (aka Enough of this Bullshit

) I dont think Mace is even alive enough to do anything but turn into a road pizza somewhere east of Dex's Diner.....

I think it's possible that Windu died from the force lightning alone.

Quite probably. Even the electric chair doesn't juice it up that far.

Mace is, as Samuel Jackson said, dead. But he didn't go out like a bitch.

I hold fast to the belief that if you don't see the body, don't count someone out as dead. But given how bady Mace got fried, I seriously doubt he survived.

If Windu survived, wouldn't Palpatine sense it and send Vader or some guards after him?

I'd like him to survive, but the sheer level of voltage going through him must've been ungodly. I'm sure his internal organs were literally broiled in his own juices.

So...whatever i want, no.

More like two guys with sponges and a squeegee.

You mean like he did with Yoda and Obi-Wan?

Do I want Windu to survive? Hell no. The only Jedi I wanted to survive was blue skinned and a d-cup.

I think I saw that blue-skinned female Jedi you mentioned being gunned down by those clones, but why? What's so special about her? (No, I don't think I'd make any snide comments this time no matter what you say, because I don't even know her name).

As for Mace Windu, if any Jedi (other than Anakin) had been being a jerk in the films, he was. No one but he deserved that comedic ending he got.

Still, I got a bad, bad feeling some stupid author with nothing to do would use the fact you don't quite see the body as an excuse to resurrect him. It has happened before...

She's a character in some comics, IIRC. Never having read them, I don't know anything more about her.

*shrugs* She's a female character. When the central female character of the prequels is Padme, sometimes you just want someone new. Also we rarely see a female Jedi either. Look at all the principal Jedi characters: Obi-wan, Anakin, Yoda, Mace Windu, Qui-gon Jinn, Tyranus, Sidious, Luke, MAYBE Leia (if you count DE, which is one of the few EU sources to bother considering Leia as a Jedi), Mara Jade; there are only two female Jedi. It just seems underpopulated IMO.

She (her name is Aayla BTW) has a bit of a cult following, IIRC. So did Wedge and Boba Fett. All three of them were relatively minor characters who the fans seized upon because they just seem cool. The difference however is that Wedge and Boba are movie characters who got an EU treatment, while Aayla was an EU character who got a cameo role in AOTC and ROTS.

What's so special about her? (No, I don't think I'd make any snide comments this time no matter what you say, because I don't even know her name).

Huh?

I sincerely fucking hope not. If there was any Jedi in the PT that deserved to be nailed it was him. I fucking hate Mace Windu.

Let's just say if Mace shows up in a novel or comic I wont be suprised. This is Science Fiction ya know folks "Oops! We thought you where dead!"

Bingo. No body (and this is before Jedi Fading) means we can't be 100% sure. But in this case we can be 99.99999% sure.

If he died (and I believe he did), he died due to the Emperor's Lightning; Jedi do not die from 'big falls' regardless on what surface they land on (you know what I mean, so don't nitpick), see; AotC and Anakin's free fall.

Either he was killed by the Emperor, or the Emperor's last attack left him too weakened to survive the fall.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2005-05-24 07:20am

Anyone who claims that force lightning has 'voltage' should be shot. It's magic, not a simple bolt of lightning. It didn't even char his clothes, remember?

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 2005-05-24 07:24am

Of course, they're all alive. Remember, in the EU, it doesn't matter how gruesome or final-seeming your "death" you can come back to life if it'll please some fanboys and make $$$.

So yes, they can all come back if Lucas approves it... no matter how unlikely.

Do I agree with it? Obviously not, but I'm just facing reality here. It's entirely possible...
