Biography

Mace Windu sat on the Jedi High Council and led the Jedi strike team into the Geonosis arena, where he beheaded Jango Fett as the Clone Wars began. He fought as a general through the war and wielded a distinctive purple lightsaber. When he moved to arrest Chancellor Palpatine as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin Skywalker disarmed him; Palpatine's Force lightning hurled Windu from the office window to his death.
