How did Mace Windu even become a Jedi Master?

He is arrogant, rude and impatient.
These traits are inappropriate even for a padawan.

His behavior looks more like a self-unconfident teenager, who was granted with some power and authority, than a Jedi council member and a Jedi master. I know Obi Wan and other members were way younger and couldn't confront him, but why did Yoda tolerate such Dark Side-ish dude in Jedi ranks?

Why did Windu claim Anakin was too old to be trained as a Jedi when he himself took a padawan who was even older than Anakin was?
And why wouldn't he attempt to train Anakin later on when he was a talented and proven Jedi Knight but obviously turning to the dark side?

Because the Jedi Order is a corrupt mess, that's kinda the point

He's a spacenigger, he became Jedi master same way Denzel got the role to play him, affirmative action.

The Jedi Order was in decline. Did you miss that part?

because Yoda liked him. He's Yoda's right-hand man and dogmatically obedient without a single original bone in his body.

affirmative space action

This. He's quite literally Yoda's yes man. And he is the only Jedi that can skirt the darkness without falling into it because he sees the inherit weaknesses of the dark side.

Literally, Sam's a Star Wars fanatic and begged Lucas for an in. Lucas wrote Windu for him.

In the first movie hes calm and collected they had to let Sam do his thing in later films cuz he was a bigger actor then

Like it was Sam who asked George for a purple lightsaber

Mace Windu is the metaphorical stand-in for the corruption of the Jedi Order that many characters frequently speak of. He is emblematic of the failures of the Order and specifically the failures of Yoda's leadership that lead to their eventual destruction. Mace Windu is basically a Sith and he revels in his power, status, and the war. And he does it by Yoda's side, right under his nose, because Yoda himself has become totally blinded to the direction he has let everything take in his complacency and naivete. Yoda's own direct line of teachings led to Anakin after all. Dooku was Yoda's apprentice and he became a Sith. Dooku's own teachings made Qui-Gon a skeptic and a rebel within the Order. Obi-Wan's own teachings were not complete when he was forced to teach Anakin and so he tried to be for the boy what he himself still needed and didn't fully understand how to be.

is anyone a star wars fanatic at this point?

Because the Jedi are a bunch of arrogant smug dogmatists. Lucas wasn't subtle about that, he had them meeting in a literal ivory tower

They managed to rub shoulders every day, for decades, with their most lethal enemy who efficiently arranged their extinction WITH THEIR HELP, without any of them suspecting a thing until it was too late.

Even afterward, the surviving Jedi's retarded plan of "hur let's lie to Luke and train him to hopefully murder his own father" was terrible. Fortunately, Luke realized this, and by disobeying Yoda and Obi-Wan he saves the galaxy.

>Mace Windu

More like Mace Dindu AMIRITE!?!?!? XD

Mace literally said the same 'He's too dangerous to be left alive' line as Palpatine did and people still don't realise the Jedi are clearly meant to be seen as hypocritical assholes

Mace tried to execute Sheev without a trial. The Jedi really are evil from my point of view.

No one. I remember fondly reading of how, this was in the Official Star Wars magazine, about the newest boxed whatsit limited edition for five hundred dollars and me literally doing every chore flawlessly hoping to be able to buy said limited edition within a few weeks. Those were the days.

Now, it's all hate. Hate for Disney.

This
His entire fighting style was about tapping into the dark side. Mace was probably a borderline sith.

can someone like sheev even be imprisoned without yoda or dindu being present 100% of the time to make sure he doesn't mind trick or lightning his way out?

I bet britbongs don't mark it as their religion in the census anymore either.

I'm pretty sure they handwave him with a "not a great jedi but we need him" with something about if it was a better time he wouldn't have made the cut.

>And he is the only Jedi that can skirt the darkness without falling into it because he sees the inherit weaknesses of the dark side.
>spends 5 minutes fighting Palpatine and goes from "the Senate will decide your fate" to "I'm going to murder this man because he's too dangerous to be left alive"

He didn't do a very good job of skirting when it really mattered

Mace was the most hypocritical of them all beause he literally uses anger to win. He doesn't allow it to overcome him due to his abilities of perfect control but he sees nothing wrong in using the darkside for power. Although it doesn't corrupt him outright, it does so subtlety, his, He's too dangerous to be left alive speech is literally what someone associated with the darkside would do. I remember Something that Lucas wrote or had written on the Star Wars wiki that said beheading is something a dark side user would do. And then Mace beheads Jango Fett.

Lucas failed with the prequels, failed completely yet his merchandise sold superbly into the billions yearly. Let that sink in: Lucas failed with the prequels, but his merchandise associated with the prequels made billions of dollars and did nothing to harm the brand. In 2012, before Disney's purchase. Lucas made well over 3 billion on Star Wars Merchandise. Then Disney buys it, claims that its girls time now and that they're no longer checking for or catering to males, in especially straight white males. And then, all things Star Wars fell of a cliff. I literally gave up on my collectibles. I hate Disney with every fiber of my being and although i'm suffering financially because of Corvid19, I can't begin to tell you how overjoyed I am that Disney's dying.

As far as I can tell he was doing his job with no ulterior motives. What's corrupt about him other than his fighting style (in a vague, metaphysical way)? Having a flawed personality is not corruption.
The difference is that Mace was making the objectively correct choice for the greater good, whereas Palpatine only served himself.

And he was one of those people who rejected Anakin outright. They're all a bunch of HYPOCRITES!!!!

>The difference is that Mace was making the objectively correct choice for the greater good, whereas Palpatine only served himself.
Not from Anakin's perspective though. He only saw the end where Mace said word-for-word the same thing Sheev told him about Dooku. Right after Sheev telling him that the Jedi and Sith are basically the same thing anyway. AND after Mace had been shitting on him since he was literally a child while Sheev was the only person who treated him like a human being.

Disney is a symptom, not the source of the problem. If Disney finally rots and dies, the (((people))) doing this just scurry to another company.

And let's be real, that won't even happen: Disney dying in 2020 simply means that China buys it, and makes it even worse.

im sure a society of force users have some way to contain powerful force users

Prequels were retarded don't think about it.

That's the thing, the Jedi said they're not about fighting wars yet all of the hurridly agrees to become Generals in a war. Mace is all about, Anakin has the darkside in him, even as Anakin, as a kid, just missed his mommy. But nope, Frak that skag, yous betta control your feelin's boo boo baby. Guy's control of the darkside is so vile that he out dark side's Palpatine's sword play. Yoda couldn't even do that. Mace was a hypocritre!
