Mace killing Jango (Page 1 of 6)

So... I still hate mace (I hate him so much, I won't even capitilize his name)

Hear Yee, Hear Yee: If Windu did that to anyone else, we would not hate him. If he killed Jar Jar Binks, we would love him, and we would not call him a Sith. We are completely biased. Think about that, I know I will .

Yes but he killed my hero, so I hate him for it. Just like Darth Maul, he killed Qui-Gon, and I hate him for it.
But DM is pretty cool though.

It depends on what you mean by, "we". I love Mace, he is one of my favorite Jedi characters. And I agree with Mel. It was in the chaos of war. But to disagree with Miba, who do you think would kill more Jedi? A few battle droids or a Mandalorian super commando? You saw how Jango made rice cakes out of that one Jedi. In 5 seconds, the battle droids might not have even killed 1 Jedi. And in the long run, Jango was more dangerous, because Mace could start protecting Jedi after those 5 seconds were up and Jango was dead. He didn't have to worry about Jango going on Jedi killing raids.

Oh, come on, if it had been Obi-Wan who killed Jango everyone would have a grudge against him and not Mace...

lol

Yes, I don't think Obi would have killed Mace either. Mace's lightsaber fighting style is Vapaad, which is the Dark Side, basically. You go into the Dark Side to use the fringes of the Dark Side to your own power, and it's hard to come back out of Vapaad.

Vapaad was a style that treaded -close- to the Dark Side. In reality the only dark thing about it is that its so aggressive. The trick is not to be thrilled by the thought of death and destruction, but of winning. And Mace wasn't Dark Side! It was WAR, you pitiful excuses for Mandos (that's the people sayin Mace is evil; the hate is understandable)! It was a battle, and in battle the strongest warriors are the ones that come out alive. It was a battle of the heroes between Jango and Mace. And Mace won.

Jango Fett was a Mandalorian in every sense of the word. And I think that he would accept this. Certainly he'd hate having to leave his son to fend for himself, and he'd hate the fact he was dead and there was no more butt-kicking to be done, but he wouldn't end up loathing Mace for it and making any 'he's evil' accusations.

As for Obi-Wan, he knew that Jango had his boy to look after... did you notice he didn't fire back on Slave I? Mace didn't. If he had, I have to believe that Mace would have let him go if he could have. All he knew was that Jango Fett tried to have the good Senator assassinated. What would you have done in his place?

Rest well, Jango. We love ya.

LMAO...yeah i hated jar jar binks. what the hell was george lucas thinking? i agree that killing jango was evil not to mention pretty heartless on mace's part. poor little boba, left all alone in the harsh universe to fend for himself.

A warrior must know evil so that he can combat it. Otherwise he enters battle ignorantly, and will be crushed. Had the Romans been ignorant of the Celtic style of war, they would have lost the Iceni rebellion and all of England, Ireland, and the surrounding area would still be worshipping Gaea. True, knowing your enemy too well can be dangerous, but a healthy, thorough knowledge is necesary.

Mace is not evil. Just misguided.

Actually, Palpatine had the fight planned out, pretty much. Palpatine was in no danger of dying. He also tells Mace this when he says, "Power, unlimited power." That's like telling Mace that "You think you would have beat me? HA! The Dark Side gives me unlimited power!"
