Mace Windu operates his own private detective agency in Coruscantin the 1970s. He's sharply dressed (for the era), quick-witted, and not unsympathetic to some of the hard cases he encounters in the course of his work.

Mace skillfully navigates a world that is often fraught with racial tension (or downright hostility) in a graceful but firm fashion, playing well with others but standing up for himself when needed and giving as good as he gets. In this respect, the film character differs greatly from the original character in literature, the latter being far less tolerant and open-minded. Mace must often carefully walk the line between whites, blacks, and a grey area in between represented by those of both races who operate outside the mainstream. In the first film, Mace must enlist the aid of radical black revolutionaries to help him solve a case for a black crime lord, all the while trying to avoid the appearance of collaborting with the police.

Despite the frequent and tedious legwork Mace is forced to undertake to solve his cases, he's always able to make time to visit with the ladies. He's not given to small talk and would probably be characterized in modern terms as a "player." By the third film, the story focuses as much (or more) on his prowess as a ladies' man than on his detective skills.
