The Clones Who Gave Their Lives To Help MACE WINDU Destroy a Superweapon - Star Wars

Shortly after the first battle of Geonosis, which began the brutal Clone Wars, Jedi General, Mace Windu was deployed to the distant, grassy world of Omphalos where the Republic had received reports about a deadly planet killing superweapon. While there, his ship was viciously shot down, killing all of his Clone Troopers on board, leaving him shocked and saddened at their brave sacrifice.
So, I’m going to break down the time Mace Windu lost his whole Squad of Clone Troopers, and was able to stop a planet killer superweapon from threatening the Galaxy.

So the story begins high up in the cloudy atmosphere of the planet Omphalos, with Mace Windu and his loyal Clone Troopers rapidly descending to the surface of the lush planet in their Republic gunship. They have been assigned by the Jedi council scout out and destroy a potential planet killer superweapon, which they have received multiple reports about in the past weeks. As you can imagine, Windu is very concerned about this potential development, so is taking no risks.
Unfortunately, only moments after the squad are able to see solid ground for the first time in a long time, a raging, red hot, separatist missile is gloding aggressively through the air, pointed directly at Mace Windu’s gunship.
As soon as Windu notices the flaming missile rocketing towards his ship, he bravely warns his men to hold on as tightly as they can, but moments later the craft is viciously impacted, sending it plummeting through the thick, atmosphere of the planet, until it eventually is crumbled to pieces by the hard, rocky surface below. Unfortunately, every single Clone Trooper on board the Republic gunship is killed instantly, and Windu himself is knocked unconscious, before being thrown out of the craft, onto a nearby rock.
Eventually, he is awoken out of his hazy state, to the sight of a large creature right above his head, poking his nose. Windu quickly brushes this off, before moving standing up and glancing in horror over at the flaming wreckage of his Republic gunship, horrified at just how many of his men were killed in the violent crash.
Following this, Windu closes his eyes in remembrances of the brave Clones who gave their lives for his mission, and is quickly greeted by the voice of Master Yoda. Master Yoda gives Mace some very important advice, telling him that “to give to the all-- sometimes the few must sacrifice their lives”. But forget their sacrifice we must not, for to be ungrateful is to be unenlightened.
Windu accepts Master Yoda’s advice, think that he holds weakness inside of him, but knows that he must move on and out of the area or else he will face death.
Following this, Windu buries his fallen soldiers, before leaping off into the vast planes, passing a variety of local wildlife as he does so.
Windu then arrives at a massive, probably unstable bridge, but he is unphased by the danger, swiftly cross the thin widden bridge, where a few B-1 Battle droids are waiting.
The two b-1 units very quickly spot the JEdi Master traversing the bridge, before rapidly opening fire on him, sending a flurry of red blaster bolts his way. Mace Windu has no trouble dodging this fire however, leaping up into the air with the force, before quickly igniting his purple lightsaber, and landing directly in front of the battle droids.
The droids continue their rapid advance, towards Windu, and before he moves in to fight back, the voice of Master Yoda again enters his head, telling him that the path of the force is a straight line, and to walk this path, one must have focus and vigilance.
Mace probably takes his advice a bit too literally, running up to the three of the droids, before slicing them with a clean, straight cut of his amethyst blade, sending them clanking to the ground.
Immediately after, Windu shifts his focus to another group of Battle droids, again pulling the same move, viciously slicing 7 more battle droids in a straight line. Master Yoda continues guiding Windu in the force, reminding to be focussed, and that nothing is impossible with the guidance of the force.
Following this, Windu pulls an absolutely awesome move, slicing one more Battle droid’s head off, before forcefulling punching another in the head, crushing it’s inner circuitry.
And let me know down below where Mace Windu ranks for you on your list of Jedi. He certainly has done some things that make people not like him, but when you see him in action with his awesome purple blade, you can’t help but just enjoy his combat skill.
Yoda then tells Windu that through a mountain, one can carve a path with the proper focus and attunement to the force, leading him to rush wildly into a large horde of B-1 units.

So it’s okay for mace to be overpowered for no reason but not Rey? Okay🤔

[@atlas1924]

@@Mullet-Mike actually he has a reason. He studied form 7 lightsaber combat which is most effective against the dark side. He also could use parts of the dark side to fuel his power. That's why he beat sidious who defeated yoda but he could never beat yoda directly. Also he spent many years perfecting lightsaber combat while rey did all of her things in like a day. Also mace windu's people are very in tune with the force, rey is just someone on an old dust bucket who never used the force or anything until the movies. So no you're argument is invalid

Seems to be mainly because Jedi fought as generals for the clone army putting themselves on the front lines, while the Sith tend to work more in the background but also probably because of the rule of two leading to there being just less Sith to kill when compared to the Jedi
