man, he looks PISSED after cutting off Jango's head, and almost looks up at Dooku then pointedly at Fett's son/Fett's head as if to say, "look what you've caused here, look what you've made me do out of necessity."
You forgot to add "MOTHERFUCKA!!"😂
Dooku thought he could handle it. After all, his Jedi body count was why he was cloned in the first place.
Oops…
I saw it more as gloating.
It was a life and death fight in the middle of a battle, Mace had no choice. Besides it was a good death, and Mandalorians value that.
He’s not a mandalorian is he?😊
@@tadsnyder2756 he is, it's said in the mandalorian when boba fett gets his armor back that jango was a foundling
@@tadsnyder2756he is was raised by the watchmen? I believe
As someone who has been in combat you do what you must to survive and for the people around you to survive without thinking about it and then spend the rest of your life second guessing what you did or just move past it and put it behind you and make the most of the rest of your life.
Id say get third partied by an enslaved beast ,which destroyed his jet pack ,one of his best tools to fight a jedi with, isn’t a good way for him to go
It’s important to note that in Windu’s fight with Jango it is likely that the force intervened, through the (forgot the name) bull alien. It charged Jango and damaged his jet pack, Jango knows Maces final strikes are too close and would end him so he activates his jet pack at the last second, cooly using all his available time to fire his shots at Windu without letting fear have him prematurely evacuate. Unfortunately he only notices the malfunction when it is too late and he dies. Similar to how Boba Fett’s jet pack was by chance damaged in RoTJ.
In this sense the story has its cake and eats it too, Jango WAS a complete bad ass that killed all these Jedi and normally would be able to survive an encounter even against master windu, but in the chaos of that arena, perhaps guided by the will of the force, in order for boba fett to become boba fett, and for him to survive the sarlacc and affect the galaxy as he needs to later (perhaps training grogu to defeat a threat to the galaxy the force deems existential) Jango needed to die. For the convenience and continuity of the story but also for the potential for the force to tie in to greater threads down the line (if the writers are able)(I don’t trust Favearu lol)
I’ve never looked at it that way. Love this theory
I agree.
I read Shatter Point.
Very good book
You have a very good theory here.
Good insight. Also, the bull Aliens are called Reeks. Originally they are herbivores and much more docile, but the one in the arena was fed meat and turned into a blood thirsty war beast.
oh please, boba got digested. Buuuurp
Jango respectfully wasn't on Windu's level. Whether his jet pack was functional or not,he wasn't surviving against someone like Mace period
Isn’t it interesting how we all have a tendency to make assumptions about a person until their rationale is explained further? Maybe we should work on that……
We all have shatter points within us that needs be worked on
Because it's added retcon lore, and not stuff provided by the movies?
To me, the second greatest "what if" Star Wars question is "What if Jango Fett survived the battle of Geonisis?" What would his reaction be to seeing his clones fight in war? Would he turn on Dooku? Would he switch sides and fight with his kids? Would have joined the republic and told them everything?
But holy smokes, I had no idea Mace Windu thought he was responsible for the Clone Wars.
I think there was a comic where Jango explained he has no love for the clones, and even killed one of them himself. Of course, Boba is the only exception.
@@thehale_ legends?
People always say that Windu would have been the best teacher for Anakin. But I think this example shows clearly why that is not the case; in addition to Anakin's pre-existing attachment issues, Windu likely would have passed on his disproportionate sense of responsibility and cold personality to Anakin as well. Though he may have been more disciplined and better balanced in his aggression, Anakin would crumble from the pressure placed on him and fall to the darkside eventually.
I would actually put forward that Yoda should have been the teacher for Anakin. The jedi council was always troubled by Anakin's preferred focus to lightsaber combat over studying the mysteries of the force. I think Yoda could have taught Anakin patience and instilled a greater curiosity about the force in the young boy. Yoda is compassionate, and has shown himself willing to allow his students to make their own choices and coaching them through failure. Yoda has also notably embraced Anakin's unorthodox inclinations in the Clone Wars series, whereas Obi-wan and the council often discouraged it.
The relationship between Dooku and Windu reminds me of the relationship between Szent István and Koppány. They were against each other, but they were both doing what they thought was right for the Hungarian people.
*Two Sides of The Same Coin !!!*
I'd love a deep dive video like this on why Mace "hated" Aniken so much.
I interpreted it more as him not trusting Anakin due to him being too old and independent by the time he was brought into the order, and becoming more frustrated with his antics over time.
Mace doesn't hate Anakin...This is tiresome as the other person stated, Anakin was far too old and worldly to have been trained as a Jedi. This normally would and had led to complications before so for Windu it was more of a trust issue especially with how Anakin behaved. A belief that bore itself out might I add.
@@kwametodd6094 - Excellent points.
@@ethanholmes4321 I appreciate you friend
@@kwametodd6094 Tho to be fair, Windu himself made things worse with how he handled it- especially when Anakin proved himself trustworthy by turning in a close friend the moment he learned he was a sith.
My favorite death in Star Wars. RIP, Jango!
Don't forget how mace was incredibly arrogant was to boba saying he had to forgive him. When Boba didn't have to do anything
I honestly think that the moment Windu un-alived Jango Fett was the most I've sympathised with Mace. Have you ever gotten caught in a heated argument before? Like, a REALLY heated argument? Each remark is upped as they go back and forth and then one of you finally says one thing that goes too far and you end up having to apologise later? That feeling where you kind of just give in and let your instincts take control more than your mind? That's how I think Windu felt (without the context of this video). That moment when he looked at what he had just done said it all for me. Someone who didn't really realise what he did which was do something that is not the Jedi way AND sensing such a great disturbance in the course of the future. Or, in my case, said something that shouldn't have been said and you only realise what was said when everyone goes quiet in shock.
Really shows how connection between both light and Dark side. It also puts him in a more positive-ish light than the more usual negative side of Dooku.
Keep the Windu lore coming!
To be fair windu had borderline ptsd BEFORE this incident it makes sense this pushed him over the edge
It wasn't murder, it was a fight where only one will walk away. Murder is very different from killing in self-defense.
I had always wondered what Windu was thinking in those moments after he killed Fett. In the movie he clearly wasn't happy that it happened and I'm glad they expounded on that.
Great video!
Well...to *Boba* it was. But Boba was a young boy, who didn't understand how it all worked yet.
This explains his decision about Sidious. I wish they had made this clear in the film.
You are an amazing story teller, you have a way of bringing these stories from the films and novelizations to life.
Jangos equipment failed. Unfortunately he relied too much upon it and siding with the CIS instead of rebuilding the Journeyman Protectors in Jasters honor was something that set the galaxy back. Critical plot point
Wasn’t that made Legends or…?
@@drxtale9446 The mess on Galidraan is in both Legends and Disney, though we don't know the specifics of what happened in Disney's version.
Galidraan and the ensuing events with Death Watch triggered the massive civil war on Mandalore, and when Jango freed himself, the planet was going crazy.
Jango Fett was also never a Journeyman Protector, both his father and Boba were, and his fathers membership is what got his family targeted by Death Watch with Jango left for dead to be rescued and raised by Jaster...and Boba's came to an end when one of his superiors, essentially, raped his wife and Boba killed him, leading to exile from Concorde Dawn.
seemingly cold stoic with a heart of gold
Most badass scene in Star Wars. Boy, the prequels had the best action.
We were more spoiled than we realized at the time.
@theguybehindyou4762 yea, as kids that's why the prequels were our favorites. Shit, I still enjoy watching ep3 more than the rest.
@@MentalMachine I was 9 when Phantom Menace hit the theaters. Between the magic of a new Star Wars saga during my developmental years and getting the SW toys I wanted for Christmas that year, Episode 1 holds a special place in my heart. 🥰
@theguybehindyou4762 bro me too but I was 3 when it came out but remember watching when I was 5. That's not a great movie but it's definitely one of my all time favorites lol at that time Star Wars merchandise was so special.
Second here,also imagine if we got a epic duel in this movie with windu and dooku fighting over all of genenosis
Do you think that perhaps the clones played a part in Jango Fett's presence in the force? I know he is a dangerous man but I dont believe he would have that much of an impact. Unless, of course, there were millions of Jango Fetts, each with a future of killing Jedi during Order 66. I believe that is what Mace Windu was seeing in the shatter point. The impact of Jango Fett and his clone army.
Jango...wasn't an evil man.
He was just a man doing what he had to do to survive in the galaxy because he certainly couldn't depend on men like Mace Windu to make the galaxy safer for any young boy to grow up in. (cause it seems Jester Mereel is indeed still canon)
And Mace had to face the justified anger of Boba Fett, the one he had hurt the most. It may not justify Boba's attempt to assassinate him, but Mace's words are "You're gonna have to" when it came to forgiveness is just as much for him as it is for Boba. He *has* to forgive Boba otherwise he's not a Jedi at all.
@@girl1213a Jedi doesn't have to forgive just not hate
@@girl1213 Galidraan is also referenced in things, so Jango, in many ways, ups the issue with the Jedi.
Only one Jedi acknowledged Galidraan for what it was an the results, which was Dooku and a major start of his issues with the Jedi that had him, eventually, leave.
And that issue with the Jedi also adds to a reason why Boba Fett hates the Jedi.
Watch the extended version of the scene. Windu's final sequence 400 times more brutal.
Hopefully Boba learns from Jango to wear some flexible Beskar neck armor … that’s what I’d do as a Mando
My opinion of Mace hasn't changed, he was always a good man in a bad situation and both the battle of Geonosis, and then the duel in the Chancellor's chamber exemplify this, that said I thoroughly believe that had Mace tried to strike down Dooku at that time he'd of ended up in the casualty report having failed to kill either Jango or Dooku the important thing to note is that Dooku was on par with Yoda, and while Mace was no slouch with a lightsaber he was no match for Yoda at that time, and that moment of hesitation he would undoubtedly have would be ample time to experience Dooku's force lightning.
Love your stuff! What about the other padawans who survived as described in Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade?
Great video !!!!!
Had Count Dooku been able to turn Mace Windu to his cause, the Clone Wars would have turned out very differently. Very few in the galaxy would be able to fully contend with the Master of the Order.
Need Samuel Jackson to return as Windu on a live action short story if he survived but lost his memory or that within a SW what if series or something, would be pretty cool
Thank you.
I hope this Shows Mace in a different light
Vaapad as well.
Shatterpoint,too.
Mace holds himself responsible.Perhaps the only difference between Mace and Anakin.
Anakin’s decision to kill Dooku vs Mace’s decision to kill Palpatine.
Are they the same ?
Was both Dooku and Palpatine too dangerous to be left alive?
6:09 I vote Jango: a Star Wars Story Movie that takes place in comic books, Bounty Hunter video game, and chapter book memoirs before Attack of The Clones
I'd like a 'what if' story/theory on if Mace only cut off Jangos' hand to disarm him and Jango still lived on
If not for the OT being done first, I think Mace would have survived the prequels. He had potential.
This completely changed my opinion on Mace Windu
Havs to admit, until this video put it all together, i never understood why Jango was used as the template for the clone troopers. Now I'm wondering why the Jedi weren't at least a littke suspicious.
I don’t think killing Dooku would’ve changed anything. Maul would’ve taken his place until anakin was fully groomed
Why did Jango single out Mace Windu in the arena?
There were dozens of other Jedi he could have picked off, while allowing the droids to overwhelm them.
Indeed, had he followed his instincts and the will of the flow and cut down Dooku, when he had the chance, the course of galactic history, would have been altered and a serious kink put into the plans of the sith and Sidious. Forcing Sidious to have get far more hands on with the separatist and risk exposure early on during the war, while he found a suitable successor for dooku, to move forward with his plans.
Ordinarily I'd say Mace had delusions of grandeur. But here, who knows?
I think the shatterpoint is really dangerous and tragically gifted to someone who can execute well but can not feel what he needs to do to make the best outcome. Like a seer who sees but is powerless to stop the future.
I was re watching the clone wars and I realized that obi wan was disguised as Rako Hardeen and Anakin was going to kill who he thought to be Hardeen and I wanted to know what obi wan told the Jedi council and how they reacted after hearing this since it was never revealed in the series
What are you even talking about; let alone what does this even have to do with Mace Windu killing Jango Fett? SMH
There was no way for Windu to know it till far too late but the war would’ve happened no matter what. Sideous had been plotting and scheming for decades and wouldn’t have allowed a little thing like his apprentice and figurehead of the CIS getting killed to stop him.
The fact Mace Windu could do Vaapad against Jango Fett is just crazy to me.
Like because Barriss mentioned
I know this is off topic, but the mention of Vaapad made me think of it. I've only been fencing for a few years now, but one of the first realizations i had early on (because i only became aware of it not to long prior to it) was how the breaking up of lightsaber forms and having people stick with one form or another was one of the dumbest recurring concepts in Star Wars. Anyone of those people that are masters of one would more often than not be beaten by someone who's merely middling in more than one. A form that focuses on defense is useless outside sparring. Defense doesn't win fights, offense does. Defense just allows you to put yourself in an optimal offensive position. It's like putting a master in aikido against any of the more offensive focused martial arts; that Aikido master is going to lose unless they're willing and/or able to go beyond their Aikido. But if that master has some training in other fighting styles, then the Aikido can help tremendously since it is able to deflect or block a blow, then immediately put the attacker in an extremely vulnerable position, usually on their backs stunned and with the wind knocked out of them.
I don't know where it first came up, but it never should have.
Kit, Plo Koon, Luke, and Yoda have always been my favorite Jedi, but I've always had mad respect for Mace.
Even if he could have taken out Dooku and decided to act on it; his attack would have inevitably left him open to a fatal attack from Jengo Fett. There's a 50/50 chance that perhaps Master Windu could've taken both Dooku & Jango out; but more than likely he would have killed Dooku and then left himself open to being struck down by Jengo Fett. In that eventuality, if Master Windu had fallen to Jengo after killing Count Dooku; then Jengo Fett would have definitely succeeded in thwarting the Jedi battle of Geonosyis and perhaps most of the other Jedi warriors would have fallen without Windu's Lightsabre skills and support.
Hard to say. It's been pretty much studied to death that the Jedi of the Old Republic shouldn't have been involved in the Battle of Geonosis because they weren't military. They were law enforcement at best, and you can't expect a policeman to do the job of a solider.
But really as much as Jango hated the Jedi, he wouldn't have stayed in that battle if he delt the killing blow to Mace Windu. He's Mandalorian yes, but he's also a father, and not really interested in being part of something that doesn't benefit him in some way. He's only with Dooku because Dooku is his benefactor. Without him, he's got no reason to stick around the battle. His hatred/dislike of Jedi isn't a ruling factor in his life, just a piece of it.
After killing Mace, he would have taken Boba and left, only killing Jedi if they got in his way.
While the clone wars are not his fault, what is his fault is the evil that comes after it. Things like his refusal towards anikan, the slaughter of jango in front of his own son, who would become boba fett, and become even more deadly and evil, the capabilities he had to stop dooku. It really does all add up.
This was self-defence. Fight,a war. Mace Windu was sad when he killed Jango. Very sad. Dooku was disgusted and shocked. Windu later too. It does make him sympathetic. Clone Wars are not his fault. None of it.May the Force be with you too
AOTC my favorite episode 💥
Or it was Palpatine's use of the Dark Side that took advantage of Mace's connection to the Force making him instinctively want to Unalive Jango by having him exude such Darkness around the Jedi.
And yet, this doesn’t change the fact that when Boba said that he would never forgive Mace for killing his father, Mace said to him “Well, you’re going to have to.”
It's true. He can't just hate Mace forever or he'll become stuck and never move on.
It's the same lesson as Yoda's lesson to Anakin.
@@user-yq9im9dk9z And Boba spent a whole lot of his career hunting Jedi...
you should do a what if windu killed doku on genios
our tragic boy 😢
I had no idea of this
Great video as always
So just to be sure I understand, Mace had a moment to kill Dooku but because he used shatter point, it led him to see the danger in Jango and then kill him instead?
It's fine to hold yourself accountable for your action. But I also think that Mace Windu should've lightened up a little bit.
Interesting
O God. Read Shatterpoint. Windu did not regret killing Jango. He literally states that he wished he had twitched his blade at Dooku's throat to prevent the war
Wait their still coming out with books? Oh I'm gonna make a collections
The thing that always got me with the Clone Wars is that not a single Jedi actually questioned how or why their clone army ALL had the face of Dooku's bodyguard/personal hitman.
I mean what TF sort of Sith Lord would make a spare army comparable to the one they're using and leave it sitting on the side with the windows down and motor running, right in front of the Jedi's house?
I know Sidious was nerfing there vision, but really?
Nah, he was mad that Jango burned his sweet ass robe.
😅😅😂
Why is it ever fan favoite like Samuel Jackson and Liam have been purposely ignored by both lucasfilm and disney. Decades later and the best we get is a few seconds of cameo
Well Anakin did say that killing is not the way of the Jedi without cause or reason
Can someone explain how it's possible for omega to be unmodifide clone od Jango Fett?
Jango wasn't unarmed he had a blaster.
The major problem was, even if he managed to kill Dooku, the fact was Palpatine was still hidden in the Republic government, and had been so for YEARS. So the possibility of contingency plans if his main chess piece fell early is fairly high.
But that would also put the Sith at risk and set the plan back. To enact these contingencies without his apprentice, Sidious would have to get directly involved until he finds a suitable replacement. That would greatly increase risk of detection at a time when not all the pieces were in place to use order 66 and seize control of the galaxy.
Maze Window
What if mace windu was the chosen one.instead of anakin
Palatine would’ve been wiped IF he found out.
Mace is one of my favorites. 🙌🏽
Yeah, Jango was a "pulser of death" for Jedi but...he didn't go after them needlessly. He didn't seek out their genocide. He either did it because he was paid or because he was attacked first. He had his rightful hatred, but he didn't allow that to be the focus of his life. He put other things ahead of that hatred.
Mace chose wrong and he knows it. Because between the two of them, Dooku was the real threat to the Jedi more than Jango. That's why he can only say "you're going to have to" when it comes to forgiveness to Boba after Boba attempted to assassinate him. He *knows* he has to forgive himself, but that's easier said than done. He's well aware of what Boba is feeling is valid and that nothing he can say to him will help him.
Compared to other Jedi he killed he didn't even put up a fight against Mace Windu for some reason.
Windu was second in lightsaber combat to only dooku. He defeated sidious FFS. Jango is good but not that good.
@tadsnyder2756 I think he was slightly better than Dooku by this point. If the weakness of makashi is cannon,then certainly Windu being much younger and stronger as well as being powerful in the force, would eventually wear down Dooku as Anakin did
He meant to take off to gain distance and fight on his terms. Unfortunately got him, he didn't realize it was damaged. If you watch the clip, it was sparking when the beast trampled him and then it sparked again right before he got beheaded.
This is the problem with the jedi, they each believe way too strongly that they are all powerfull and responsible for everything.
Even if Windu had killed Tyrannus there would still have been Sidious and without Windu who would have moved on the chancellor?
Perfect phone call? To his enemies when he knew they'd be recording every word? I don't know about that. What year was this?
If he hadn’t had killed him, I believe without a doubt he would’ve been killed.
i feel like even if Mace Windu had killed Dooku right there Palpatine wouldve still gotten to Anakin in the long run an most of the story wouldve played out similar
0:59 do WHAAAAT????
Maybe I’m just dumb, but. Even after your explanation… The hell is a shatter point?
WHAT
What’s with the Windus having beef with guys named Jango/Django
Jango had already killed Jedi in that fight, and he wasn't unarmed. Righteous kill
I don’t think it was a mistake him trying to kill the chancellor. It was absolutely the right decision as shown later. Vader did the same as exact thing put in the same exact position. When the thing you love is on the line you gotta do what you Gotta do to protect it. he was literally put into the same situation and decided to save his son. Killed the Chor no different than what mace was going to do. He just needed time to see it. He probably was around maces age at that time when he made the decision mace was already going to make. If he doesn’t stop, mace .The Sith never win.
How about some more insight. Into what happened to Varis. After the clone wars. And what happened too her. After Anikin turned to be come Vader. Did Varis. survive after this point? Did she thrive? And become one of the sisters. In the collection of inquisitors?. That Vader had at his disposal.
Day 375 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon
Windu shouldn't have granted Jango an easy death. Jango should have suffered and rotted like Anakin for all the evil deeds he committed.
What evil deeds? Death Watch killed Jango’s family and his mentor Jaster, the Jedi wrongfully accused and massacred all of Jango’s True Mandalorian brothers. Jango wasn’t evil. Even Hondo said that Jango was a friend and honorable man. He was just a simple man making his way, and wanted to avenge his True Mandalorians and raise his son. Windu holding his saber up to Jango’s neck brought memories of what the Jedi did to his True Mandalorians, and a sign of disrespect. Jango wasn’t evil like Vader and the Empire.
Yall have to admit in a way Windu was very prejudice and discriminant towards Anakin from the beginning so you could say he probably deserved what happened in ROTS bkuz of his outright hubris
Yes Windu was in a battle trance. Yes Windu was using Vapaad. Yes Windu killed Jango. But it wasn't murder. It was a conflict between two warriors and the superior warrior came out on top.
Murder would be if he stabbed Boba through the heart right afterwards. A defendless young boy.
Mace Windu didn't murder Jango Fett. Mace Windu killed him as a soldier kills another soldier. It's not murder.
Mace was so close to killing Dooku
Mace would have been dead if Jango had both blasters.
Bottom line, Jango got what was coming to him.
If Windu had killed Dooku, the Republic would have lost the Clone Wars. Dooku was holding the Separatists back on purpose.
They had nearly infinite money. Nearly infinite troop numbers. Nearly infinite resources. They should have won. The only reason they didn't is because Dooku threw the game.
He didn't like Ahsoka either, besides Anikin. For Master who supposed to be one of the greatest, I don't have sympathy for him.
He may have had good points of other people’s flaws but the way he treated them was wrong
Oh boo hoo
I must say it......he was stupid to kill jango even if it was accident, that just shows that u must stay on your guard and only not for the abillity to sense the Future in combat like yoda and the classic republic era: THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION (context he sensed that jango wanted to fly away but couldn't because his jetpack was malfuntioning)
If Anakin were to do this it would be been a call to the dark side 😒 Hypocrites!!
Say what you want about windu, but he treated anakin bad
I hate windu but have respect for him that’s all I will say
First
Jango Fett was an idiot chasing after his weapon lol. Great Bounty Hunter my ass.
The fact that Mace needs two plot device powers to make him relatable just shows how the movies themselves didn't bother giving him any arc... And the shows still act like shatterpoint and vaapad don't exist. Leave your ideas on how you would visually depict proper Mace on-screen with shatterpoint and vaapad visualized.
