"I've had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane!!!" ~Mace Windu
Mace Windu was the only black Jedi-Bendu in the entire universe and he also has a black belt in Shaolin Shadowboxing and the Wu-Tang sword style. He was a member of the Jedi Council where his aggressive policies led to his nickname as a "mushroom-cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker." He was renowned throughout the galaxy for proving that purple lightsabres are not necessarily gay. In Return of the Sith, his hands were chopped off by Palpatine after some heavy petting and he fell off a building. Following this set-back Mace spent a number of years in seclusion, having adopted the identity of a jive talkin bounty hunter named Bossk. Mace's Jedi signature is often spelled as Ma$e.
Mace is also infrequently referred to with the Bendu honorific, making his full title "Mace Windu Bendu."
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.
[edit] Death and Subsequent Musical Career
It was believed for a time that Mace Windu was killed by Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars 3: Return of the Sith after having his pimp-hand cut off, but this is, in fact a falsity.
Windu did indeed lose a limb, and was promptly defenestrated, but he landed on the stage of a jizz club. Realising immediately that his prior calling as a Jedi was misplaced, Windu-Bendu proceeded to phunk with the hearts of the distinguished patrons, beginning his acclaimed career as a musician, which commenced with the critically-lauded debut album, Love Sabre.
