Mace Windu was a horrible character. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about him and without his decision to kill the Emperor, Anakin may have remained a Jedi.
I love SLJ but he was awful in the role. Being restrained by dialog isn't his forte and it was just a bad fit overall. I would not be interested in his return in any form. The character is dead and it should be left that way. |

If it is young Windu, it would probably not be SLJ. Meh, I don't know. I'd have to see who was attached... And then probably not know them and lean on Dane to tell me if it was going to be good or not. https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/st...plans-1419321/ |

First off, a "Prequel" series starring an unknown actor as Mace Winu would complicate the timeline. Let's say they started 30 years before TPM, where he's a young Jedi Padawan. Well, at that point in time, absolutely nothing is known about that era, which was peaceful and devoid of Sith. Even Mace himself says something along the lines of "I don't think the Sith could have returned without us knowing", so right there, the Sith are out as Bad Guys. So, who would be the antagonist? I don't think that people would be interested in seeing a young Padawan journey from world to world as a Learner that's involved in "negotiations" between worlds of the Old Republic. And since the new "High Republic" era has recently launched, the series would need to stay clear of history because if those new novels, comics and games happen to capture a huge audience, things that happen in a Young Mace Windu series could contradict events that occurred 30 years before TPM, so you're looking at a massive amount of interaction between the Story Group, novelists and the showrunners and even then, contradictions could occur. The idea of doing it post-ROTS doesn't make much sense either because as a powerful member of the Jedi Council, why would he have been so deep in hiding that he couldn't have connected to the other living Jedi during that 30 year period? This is a guy that rose to the rank of Jedi Master yet he abandons them completely? Even Ahsoka helped the rebellion in secret during that time as Fulcrum, who was instrumental in bringing down the Empire and the first Death Star. So let's say there's a series with Windu set post-RoTJ. What was he doing all of that time and why does he come out of hiding now, when the Empire's been destroyed and the New Republic's government has been put into place? Luke Skywalker is searching for candidates for a new Jedi Order and I doubt he'd be too pleased to see Windu, whose action not only caused the Empire to happen but also asked Luke's father to lie to the Chancellor on behalf of the Jedi! I just think there are way too many problems for a series with Windu to happen and even then, I just don't see how people would connect with a guy that basically destroyed the Jedi Order all by himself and solidified the Emperor's plan to rule the galaxy with Anakin by his side. |
