    If only Democratic leadership had anything near the balls of Mace Windu. They’d pause the fight to pen an angry letter while Jedi, younglings, and the entire Republic get slaughtered.

      A Sith Lord in control of the senate you say? We must call the council at once and write a formal letter to Emperor Palpatine to tell him his actions are against the founding principles of this republic! And we’ll make sure to comply with his every demand, but be strongly against the morality of this whole situation.

      They were absolutely as blind as the Jedi Council, and just like the Council they waited too long to act. The Garland DoJ could have prevented this, had they prioritized justice over cowering to the rich, the powerful, and the fictional consciences of republican voters.

      Windu got done wrong but I hope we get cartoons that delve into these figures.

      Hard to tell in the movies that windu was hands down the best light saber duelist in the galaxy, that his defeat was a gigantic coup for palpatine.

      The OG clone wars cartoons shows windu to be the badass he is.
