Mace Windu quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Whose helmet is that anyway?

Mace Windu

It belongs to a bounty hunter I killed on Geonosis by the name of Jango Fett.

You mean the clone template?

Mace Windu

Yes. Strangely enough he had a son, or at least a clone he regarded as a son. His name is Boba Fett.

I remember now. Obi-Wan listed him in his report on Kamino.

Mace Windu

Boba was on Geonosis when his father died. He watched as I killed him.

Anakin

That would complicate things.

Mace Windu

Indeed.

Some pretty serious burns, but nothing a night in the bacta tank won't fix. [Ahsoka punches Anakin in the leg and Anakin grunts in pain and glares at Ahsoka] Oh, sorry.

Plo Koon

We were lucky to arrive when we did.

Guess we have Artoo to thank for that.

Mace Windu

Come here, droid. I can see why your master trusts you, little one. Good job. [R2 chirps a happy reply, then rolls off]

Heh. That's definitely more praise than I ever get.

Mace Windu

Hmm.

So, what are you planning to do with this son of Jango Fett?

Mace Windu

I’m not planning to do anything.

That kid destroyed an entire cruiser, trying to get to you. And you're just gonna to let it go?

Mace Windu

Is there something else I should be doing, Skywalker?

How about tracking him down?

Mace Windu

So I should behave as this child does? I should seek revenge?

No. How is it revenge if you stop this kid and bring him to justice?

Mace Windu

In case you haven’t notice, we are fighting a war.

Mace Windu

Having second thoughts, Master Yoda?

Hmm, heading down a dark path, we are.

Mace Windu

We talked about this. Killing a Jedi was the best move we had.

Hmm.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

So, how was my funeral?

A better performance than you, your corpse gave.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Whatever do you mean? I fell from the top of a building. I could have killed myself.

Mace Windu

Captain Rex, I need to speak with General Skywalker. He's not responding to my calls.

RCaptain Rex

Sir, General Skywalker is unavailable.

Mace Windu

Where is he, Captain?

RCaptain Rex

I can't say, sir.

Mace Windu

You can't or you won't?

Chancellor Palpatine

Anakin is on Nal Hutta.

Mace Windu

Nal Hutta?

Chancellor Palpatine

Protecting me is only postponing the problem, not solving it.

Mace Windu

With all due respect, Chancellor, the council has a plan in place.

Chancellor Palpatine

Yes, and so does Moralo Eval, who appears to be several steps ahead of you. For that reason, I asked Anakin to take action. He is confident he can find the fugitives and stop this plot against me. I suggest you have more faith in young Skywalker. [turns to Rex] Captain, if you must escort me home, I'm leaving now.

RCaptain Rex

Yes, sir.

Mace Windu

Master Yoda, if this is indeed Darth Maul, his capture is far too important to leave it to Obi-Wan alone.

Mmm. Not alone Kenobi will be, an unexpected ally he may have. Trust the Force, we must.

Padawan Tano, serious charges have been levied against you. How plead you?

Not guilty, Master. I would never take the lives of innocents. The values of the Jedi are sacred to me.

KAKi-Adi-Mundi

The evidence is to the contrary. You were alone with Letta Turmond when she died. Can you explain this?

Someone used the Force against her.

Plo Koon

Which brings us to Ventress. Can you explain your association with her?

We had a mutual understanding. I thought she was helping me.

Mace Windu

Did she help you acquire the nano-droid weaponry found when you were apprehended, the same devices used in the bombing of the Temple?

No. I was set up and deceived, as you are being deceived now.

Mace Windu

The question is, Padawan Tano, who is deceiving us: Ventress, you, or someone else?

I am not deceiving you! I would assume Ventress is, but I can't be sure. My sense is… clouded.

Clouded by the Dark Side these things are, Padawan Tano. Dangerously clouded, but not just surrounding you, surrounding many things in these times.

You've already made your decision, haven't you?! This meeting is just a formality!

[sighs] Reached a decision we have, though not in total agreement are we.

Mace Windu

It is the Council's opinion that Padawan Ahsoka Tano has committed sedition against the Republic. And thus, she will be expelled from the Jedi Order. [Ahsoka looks up in shock]

You can't do this! [tries to butt in, but is held back by two temple guards]

KAKi-Adi-Mundi

Your Padawan status will be stripped from you, and you shall forfeit all rank and privileges within the Grand Army of the Republic. You will be turned over to the Republic courts to await your trial and whatever punishments they will set for you. [A guard snaps Ahsoka's padawan braid off her head as tears cloud her eyes] Henceforth, you are barred from the Jedi Order.

Ahsoka, I am so sorry about everything.

Plo Koon

You have our most humble apologies, little 'Soka. The Council was wrong to accuse you.

STSaesee Tiin

You have shown such great strength and resilience in your struggle to prove your innocence.

KAKi-Adi-Mundi

This is the true sign of a Jedi Knight.

Mace Windu

This was actually your great trial. Now we see that. We understand that the Force works in mysterious ways. And because of this trial, you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise.

Back into the Order you may come.

They're asking you back, Ahsoka. [Holds out Ahsoka's padawan braid to her] I'm asking you back. [Ahsoka looks from Anakin to the padawan braid and back again before closing Anakin's hand around the braid. Anakin looks hurt]

I'm sorry, Master, but I'm not coming back. [leaves the temple. All the council members look hurt. Anakin walks out and goes after Ahsoka]

Ahsoka, wait! Ahsoka, I need to talk to you. [Catches up to Ahsoka, who stops and turns to Anakin. Anakin sighs] Why are you doing this?

The Council didn't trust me, so how can I trust myself?

What about me? I believed in you. I stood by you.

I know you believe in me, Anakin, and I'm grateful for that. But this isn't about you. I can't stay here any longer, not now.

The Jedi Order is your life. You can't just throw it away like this! Ahsoka, you are making a mistake.

Maybe, but I have to sort this out on my own, without the Council and without you.

I understand. More than you realize, I understand wanting to walk away from the Order.

I know. [She turns and Anakin watches her until she disappears down the steps of the Jedi Temple]

(Yoda stands in the Temple courtyard looking at the Great Tree, Mace Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi approach him)

Mace Windu

The Council has assembled. They are eager to hear your report.

Afraid, not much there is to say of my journey

(Mace and Obi Wan look at each other)

Obi Wan Kenobi

So nothing significant happened to you out there?

Yes... and no. To the end, we are coming now.

Mace Windu

Did your journey give you insight on how to win the war?

No longer certain that one ever does win a war, I am. For in fighting the battles, the bloodshed, already lost we have. Yet open to us a path remains, that unknown to the Sith is. Through this path victory we may yet find. Not victory in the Clone Wars, but victory for all time.

(all three Jedi depart for the Council, camera pans to a closeup of three leaves on the Great Tree, end)

Mace Windu

What is your plan?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, it isn't my plan.
