This i found as part of a original script

"A burst of lightning twice the size of the first attack shoots from Palpatine's fingers and strikes Mace hard. Mace is shot out through the window, shattering the glass. Mace flies far from the building, and Anakin gets one good look at him before he drops beyond site."

"Far below the Senate office, Mace Windu's nearly dead body drops on to a speeder, moving in the traffic. The force of the impact knocks the speeder out of the line of traffic and into a nearbly building. The speeder explodes, burning Mace's body and lighting up the night for a second before the scraps of metal fall to the floor of Coruscant."

Where did you find this? Is this in "The Making Of ROTS" or did you find this on a site run by Supershadow? If it's the latter, it's fake. Supershadow is a fraud who likes to decieve fans with his made up stuff.

Just jumping and invading the thread, but, *smokes*, that picture is amazing SithStarSlayer. (Where's it from? Are there more like it?) I bet to other jedi, that's what Mace Windu would look like in battle. (And to regular non-force people, they'd hardly see anything at all!)

Mace isn't dead when he goes out the window, but he is when he hits the ground. The Chancellor's office is 1/2 a kilometer up. Not even a Jedi could survive a fall from that height.

Exactly how far did Anakin fall when he jumped out of the speeder in AotC? Mace is a Jedi Master, they can do all kinds of crazy stuff. I would think it is silly to assume Mace is dead, honestly. The Emperor hit Luke with a lethal dose of lightning - Quote "now...you will die", and Luke did not immediately die, and we know that Jedi have the power to oppose gravity with the force - Example: Lifting objects in opposition to gravity.

So we may assume Mace died because that's what Lucas intented, however outside of Lucas' intentions I say Mace could be alive and well (with one robot arm of course).

Maybe Mace, like Padme, died of a broken heart.

You don't actually see Palpatine die, yet not one contests
that he died at the end of ROTJ.
What if all that force cloud stuff was just smoke and mirrors
to pretend he had died.

Mace isn't dead when he gets pushed out the window.
That much is clear because he's shouting like a wee girl
as he goes flying out into the Coruscant night.

Anakin was focused and at one with the force when he fell.
Mace was wore down from the battle, fried by a close up dose
of lighting (the same kind that put Yoda on his ass for a minute)
and was minus one arm.
I don't think he was in much condition to do anything other
than land.

Like they say... It's no the fall that's gonna kill you...

Of course the other thing to keep in mind is the "Force" is only as strong as the author's intentions. As much as I hate to be the realist here, we see examples of the force being used to it's maximum capability at some times - Obi-Wan tossing Greivous like a rag doll - then other times when the Jedi barely use it - Jedi fighting General Greivous with a lightsaber, instead of force smashing him all over the place.

That being said I believe we could argue indefinately, both sides of this providing documented proof of either side being correct depending on the situation we are pulling the proof from. However to answer this thread, I believe Mace was still crying when he was flying out the window, thus making him not dead...yet.

It's possible he would land on his feet and leave unscathes but common sense tells us that he died. He was defenestrated and electricuted, so he dies. 20 stories down is total WHOA!

There's a difference between Anakin and Mace. For one thing, Anakin was in a controlled fall. For another, he timed it so that he would grab on to Zam's speeder. Also Anakin didn't fall 1/2 a kilometer. He fell maybe fifty to a hundred feet. Mace, on the other hand, had no chance of surviving his fall for a bunch of reasons. The first is that he was severly tested by the duel with Palpatine. The second is that he was in shock, both from Anakin cutting off his hand and from Palpatine lighting him up. The third is that is that when Mace went out the window, he was given a VERY hard Force push and was well away from the side of the building when he actually began to fall. As for Mace colliding with somebody's speeder, go and watch any of the scenes in Palpatine's office in either Ep.II or III. The speeder traffic is way in the background. This is probably done intentionally to keep someone from parking out side the Chancellor's office with a missile launcher. Sorry, BamBam but you're trying to compare apples and oranges. Mace is a smear on the duracrete. Accept it.

In the novelization, I beleive it says that Mace was dead when he flew out the window- the lightning killed him.

Accept it- regardless on whether or not the novelization is correct ol' Mace is as dead as a doornail. RIP man.
