News Obi-Wan Kenobi series premiering on May 27

Mace has about the same chances that Maul had. They never showed us the body. Which means he could be alive or dead. It depends how they want to handle it.
That's right. And since Obiwan is the extension of ROTS this series would be the proper vessel to explore it. Speaking of Maul, who has returned in many incarnations could also be back. Its a bag of opportunities for this series.

Maybe two bags.
 
While it's certainly possible for Maul to show up, I wouldn't count on it.
At this point he's still the head of Crimson Dawn, and Vos still has another 2 years before Qi-ra ganks him, so he's around and not yet trapped on Malacor. However, given his reaction to learn Obi-Wan is still alive in Rebels, it would be a bit off if this revelation came off the back of already having seen him as a hermit on the run a few years prior.

Plus on a broader level, I can't see him adding much to the story . . . unless they do a flashback with him on Mandalore I guess, but again, I doubt it.

You didn't see Windu unconscious while falling, lol. It's not conclusive Mace Windu was killed, my points are fair, and I even believe the actor himself Samuel L. Jackson sees it that way as well. Its open the character could return.
Yeah, totally. I'm sure he stopped screaming in abject agony because he was fully conscious and not at all deceased. :rolleyes:
Inquisitors are the most pointless characters in Star Wars. They’re whole job is to kill Jedi (which was supposed to be Vader’s job) but because they are poorly trained, they can only kill Padawans. Anything higher and they get killed instantly. This one in Kenobi better wish she doesn’t meet him, or she will be in two pieces a few seconds later.
No, their job was to FIND Jedi. If they ran into anything they couldn't handle, that's when Vader shows up.
The boss has way more important things to do than run around the galaxy, chasing down leads to every broken Knight or half-trained Padawan that slipped the net, which is what most of them are. There were only a handful of actual Masters still in the wind, and if an Inquisitor stumbles onto one and gets themselves killed then that's great for Vader since he now knows where they are. He can always get more bloodhounds, so it's worth sacrificing a few for even a chance at the likes of Kenobi, Yoda, or Ahsoka.

Also keep in mind that by this point, it's been a whole decade, most of the former Jedi still out there are going to be more like Kanan and Cal (before they found their way again) than Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. Lost, broken, alone, out of touch with the force and out of practice with their abilities. So yeah, odds are if a pack of Inquisitors runs across one those, then they would be in serious trouble.

If that was true then why do they have to be force sensitive being with those stupid looking spinning laser swords? Just let them be detectives of sort.
I don’t know if Vader is that busy. Probably spends most of his time at his house in bacta tanks
 
Surely they are not going to have this new villain get redeemed by Ben only to be killed by Vader. They’ve done that already

Even a Padawan can mind-trick a run-of-the-mill gumshoe, so good luck with that. Not really an option with an Inquisitor. Plus, send a thief to catch a thief. The Inquisitors can hunt Jedi because they understand them, because they were them. They can sense them when they're near, even bring them in alive if possible, and potentially make one into a new Inquisitor every once in a while. The rest probably get handed over to whatever Project Harvester is about (probably tied to the Mt Tantiss operation on Wayland.)

The spinney lightsabers exist for the same reason Grevious had 4 spinney arms; it's to compensate for a lack of raw skill. Good for overwhelming a half trained, lapsed Padawan. A Knight or Master at the height of their powers . . . not so much, but that's why they sometimes hunt in packs. And as previously stated; if they get killed; that's when Vader shows up.

Remember these Inquisitors probably weren't exactly the Jedi's best-of-the-best before they were turned. If they were, no WAY Palpatine would let Vader train them up (just look at what happened with Ventress.) They're mostly fuck-ups, washouts, dead-enders, the disaffected and the broken. Hell, even the "Grand Inquisitor" was only a Knight, and one of the Temple Guard at that. Not a Master. Not assigned to field work, but kept at the temple (presumably so they could keep an eye on him after he got a little too curious about the archive's Bogan Collection.)
Some may not have even been full Padawans but initiates that failed at their trails, and allowed to remain at the temple performing menial duties because they had nowhere else to go.

I've seen in the movies force lightning doesn't kill Jedi, and I'd seen in TPM Jedi can fall from great heights and slicing an arm doesn't kill them as well, but Mace was killed???

No one's ever had all three at the same time.
 
Mace has about the same chances that Maul had. They never showed us the body. Which means he could be alive or dead. It depends how they want to handle it.

They did show us Maul's body, though. Literally cut in two pieces, tumbling down an extraordinarily tall shaft.

The fact that he survived is duuuumb.

Before I was born, a character named Boba Fett fell into a pit, many fans suspected he was dead in "Return of the Jedi", but today it was now known the character was very much alive and now has a Disney series. Mace Windu wasn't killed because there's no evidence to prove he was.
 
Didn't Luke Skywalker lose and arm, fall from great heights, and managed to survive?

Mace Windu is orders of magnitude more trained & skilled than Luke Skywalker when he lost an arm and fell from the Sky Scraper.

There's no logical reason why Mace shouldn't be alive and in hiding somewhere.

Mace should already be in hiding, have a Cybernetic Prosthetic arm, and be a badass former Jedi Master in hiding.

They should want Samuel L. Jackson to come back.

He could be the modern "Old Jedi Master"-role that 'Obi Wan Kenobi' had in the original trilogy.

Help train Luke even further and help with the new Jedi Academy.

BINGO!!!:techman:
 
And if they expect the fans to believe that Old-man Luke Skywalker in TLJ (The Last Jedi) was able to force project across the galaxy. The Luke Skywalker we see at the end of "The Mandolorian Season 2" & "The Book of Boba Fett" is NOWHERE near that level of Force User.

The only logical explanation for Luke getting to that power level is for Luke to get a new teacher.

While the CGI Luke Skywalker we see is powerful, he doesn't even remotely seem Jedi Knight powerful, barely past Padawan level.

If Luke had Wise Old Former Jedi Master "Mace Windu" come by to teach him, that would make ALOT of logical sense IMO.

Boba Fett was still alive when hell into the Sarlacc, which are specifically told keeps it's food alive for a thousand years. So we knew he was more or less alive, it was just a question of whether or not he got out of the Sarlacc, which we now know he did.

He didn't have to have gotten a new teacher, we saw in TLJ that he had a whole collection of old Jedi texts, so he could have easily learned all of that through those books, without ever running into another Jedi.

Exactly. Mace lost his arm, and was blasted full force with lightning, his skeleton lit up and thrown out a Coruscant window, to fall down to the depths of the city-planet. That is, if he isn't run over by space traffic.

Skywalker lost his hand, and fell down a shaft in a controlled manner. Windu lost his hand, was blasted by force lightning in to unconciousness and dropped down the height of one of Coruscant's highest buildings.
They should want Samuel L. Jackson to come back.
And he can. As a Force Ghost. Not alive.
