As one of the most powerful Jedi ever, Mace Windu is a member of the Jedi Council who's fiercely dedicated to the Jedi Order's traditions and hates politics. He shows off his great skills on the battlefield by wielding his trademark purple lightsaber. During the Clone Wars, he senses the dark side's rising power and later learns that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is secretly Darth Sidious, a Sith lord. Unfortunately, Windu meets a grim fate in a confrontation with Palpatine, after a newly dark Anakin intervenes. The Jedi are branded as traitors due to Windu's attack, and the Jedi Purge follows.
