so I can continue making them for you.
Number 1: He comes from the Planet Haruun Kal
Windu was born on Haruun Kal to an Indigenous tribe.
Haruun Kal was a planet located in the galaxy's Mid Rim, in grid square M-17 on the Standard
Galactic Grid and was the only world in the Al'Har system.
From space, Haruun Kal looked as if it was largely covered by an ocean.
However, this "ocean" was in fact a sea of toxic gases brought to the surface by volcanic
activity, and broken by mountains and plateaus.
Native Humans of the world, known as Korunnai (Uplanders), were all Force-sensitive.
Number 2: His purple krystal was acquired from an Indigenous tribe
“Master Windu…
How pleasant of you to join us.”
“This partys over.”
Mace Windu is the only character in the Star Wars series that carries a purple lightsaber.
So, how did he come to obtain this lightsaber?
The story goes that he acquired a violet crystal at a young age, after travelling to the planet
Hurikane.
When he arrived, he was attacked by a group of Indigenous people, to which Mace responded
by shattering one of their tribes people.
He then used the Force to reconstruct this individual, and after that the tribe presented
him with his purple crystal.
Number 3: He created his own form of lightsaber combat
“In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest Chancellor.”
Arguably one of the best in lightsaber combat, Mace was actually the one to develop the seventh
and final form of lightsaber combat, Vaapad.
It was considered the most aggressive and unpredictable form.
The duelist would channel his inner darkness as well as use his own opponent's fury to
gain the advantage.
It teetered on the edge of using the dark side, and if it's not used properly, it could
lead one down that path.
Number 4: He was named by Yoda
His parents died shortly after his birth and when he was 6 months old he was discovered
by Jedi archaeologists.
He ended up being given up by the tribe before he was properly named and then taken to the
Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
It was actually Yoda on Coruscant it twho ended up being Mace’s guardian and who gave
him his name.
Number 5: He caused General Grievous’ cough “And.. *cough* Anakin Skywalker.”
Everyone remembers the signature cough that General Grievous had during Episode 3.
It was Mace Windu who was responsible for giving it to him!
During the Clone Wars animated series, Grievous abducts the Chancellor and takes him onto
his shuttle to leave Coruscant.
However, before he can do that, Mace advance towards him and seemingly force crushes his
chest in.
Immediately after this, we hear for the first time, Grievous’ signature cough.
Number 6: He can see shatterpoints in the force
Probably one of his coolest features is that he can see shatterpoints in the force.
These shatterpoints allow people to sense momentary weaknesses and influence them to
their will.
Number 7: He fought against Mother Talzin
In the Clone Wars tv series, Mace and Jar Jar partner together to uncover a plot by
the Nightsisters of Dathomir, “Oh boy!” to sacrifice the Queen of Bardotta.
Mother Talzin, the leader of the Nightsisters, plans on combining the Queen’s spirit with
dark magic to become more powerful than the Jedi or the Sith.
Mace arrives just in time to face off against Mother Talzin, who conjures up a magical sword
to fight him with.
And there you have it!
