Mace Windu is a major character in the Star Wars franchise. He was an extremely powerful Jedi Master and second-in-command to the Jedi council who served as a general in the Clone Wars. Part of Windu did not believe that Anakin Skywalker is the "Chosen One" and personally felt that Anakin was too old to be trained. During the war, Anakin's power and friendship with Chancellor Palpatine increased to a point that the Jedi Council unjustly didn't trust either of them. Little did they know that Anakin's friendship with Palpatine and the council's distrust in them would lead to the downfall of the Jedi.
