M is for Mace Windu

Wow! The month of April is flying by. We're already to the letter 'M' of the A to Z Challenge, and there's only 25 more days until our Disney Trip, and only a few more than that to the Star Wars Weekend! Today we received our Magic Bands, reminding us just how close we are to our vacation.







So, getting back to Star Wars, Mace Windu was a Jedi Master of the High Council. In the movies he was portrayed by none other than Samuel L. Jackson. His unique purple sword made him stand out, and it is rumored that Jackson requested that specific color from George Lucas.

One of his most memorable duels was the one between Mace and Palpatine. Mace clearly had the upper-hand but Anakin intervenes, turning to the dark side when Palpatine lies and says he can show him how to save Padme. Poor Mace loses a hand, gets electrocuted and then falls to his death. That's a pretty bad day.
