Mace Windu (BBJAG)

"It is alright now, Master Windu. You are in our care now."

- Ben Yoakido to Mace Windu after the Jedi Master's recovery

Mace Windu was a Jedi Master, a general during the Clone Wars, and a senior member of the Jedi Council. He was one of the masters assigned in hunting down and destroying Darth Wraddiqus. He attempted to arrest Chancellor Palpatine when Anakin Skywalker informed him that he was Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. Master Windu went along with Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin to arrest the Chancellor. The Chancellor drew out his lightsaber and killed Kolar. He then attacked Saesee Tiin. After a while, with more effort, Kit Fisto was knocked out. Mace and Palpatine dueled for a while until Mace gained the upper hand and cornered the Chancellor. Anakin arrived and defended the Chancellor. Mace was betrayed and almost killed. However, outside the office, War Heroes Ben Yoakido and Brent Rhea caught the unconcious master and went to Yoakido's private surgical room to heal him. Hours later, Mace recovered and had a new prostetic hand. Ben Yoakido and Brent Rhea explained everything and helped him into hiding. They met Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin, both of whom survived the fateful duel.

Events With the Yoakido Family
In 33 BBY, Mace Windu learned about the sad death of his old friend and respected war hero General Yoakido, who was killed above Nar Shaddaa by Skelldon J. Bones and IG-86. The entire crew had been killed. However, Republic spy and Cerean Ci-Tar had rescued both Ben Yoakido, the general's son, and Brent Rhea, who was Ben's friend. The three headed to Dantooine because Rhea wanted to check if his mansion had taken the same kind of damage that the Yoakido Family had. When they arrived, they found a mansion in ruins. The group found dead bodies and the remains of an unfamiliar droid. After watching a security recording of one of Rhea's butlers explain about the new battle droids, he was killed by one of them. Ben realized what was going on and explained that Nute Gunray was behind the attacks. Just then, Ki-Adi-Mundi arrived along with Master Forrestal and Republic officers. After defeating the remnants of the assasins on Dantooine and the death of Ci-Tar, the group made it off the planet with both the security recording and the remains of a battle droid. Mace Windu explained to the boys that the Republic will investigate on the droid series.

Clone Wars
In 22 BBY, the Clone Wars had begun with the Battle of Geonosis and continued. Mace was in charge, along with Ben and Brent to help root out the remnants of the Skelldon J. Bones Crime Organization.

Recovert
After the duel with Chancellor Palpaine and nearly facing death, Windu had been recovered by Ben and Brent, who gave him a prostetic right hand and found his lightsaber. They helped Windu into hiding. Official Imperial Records state that he killed fellow Jedi Masters Kolar, Tiin, and Fisto before trying to kill the Chancellor and that he died when he accidentally lost balance and fell out the window. However, Fisto and Tiin survived and also went into hiding.
