He lost two hands and fell to his death in a Star Wars film. It'd be weirder if he did die, tbh.

He's currently the only Force user who has not returned from falling to his death.

Even from other points of view, Obi-Wan and Luke survived falling to their deaths!

I've never been convinced Mace didn't survive.

I mean really, we watched Anakin fall from a similar height on Coruscant in Clones and he survived just fine. Maul survived getting cut in half and falling down a seemingly bottomless pit. Hell, you kinda gotta think that old Palpy survived getting thrown down the reactor core by Vader, it was the Death Star blowing up around him that actually killed him.

The Mace Windu that beat a platoon of droids to death with his bare hands is the only canon version of Mace Windu. According to aLl Da LoRe, Mace is the kind of force user who infuses his physical body with the force itself, making him the most fearsome and deadly Jedi knight in memory. We never really get to see that in the films, so I’m glad they gave him such an iconic scene in the show.

We see Mace fly off a pretty high terrace and land no problem in AOTC too. He's got the skill to pull off that poo poo.

Personally, I think Mace should be dead as part of Anakin's final turn arc ("WHAT HAVE I DONE :gonk:") but this is the first time someone's pointed this out to me as a plausible survivor scenario and I hate it.

He also thought he killed Padme thanks to Palpatine saying he did, so thinking Mace died when he didn't is a valid option

Something something from a certain point of view...

I can't wait to entertain you.
What even would a Mace return story be. Returning to the temple to save Grogu and some other younglings?

For canon death revivals, they've been pretty good about ending those stories by redoing how they original died, ala "Obi-Wan killed Maul" (See TPM, or Rebels). Is the ultimate pay off to such a Mace series him dying to Sheev in an actual competently staged fight?

I genuinely think any Mace story will be more to flesh out Boba Fett than anything else. Basically recreating his Legends feud with Solo, except using Mace instead.

I just had the vision of Samuel L. Jackson as an older/weary Mace running into Donald Glover as a young Lando and I have no idea what the gently caress it would entail or what would happen, but I’d kinda like to see it.

This is less than what happened to Darth Maul who went on from his own movie (cut in half and thrown down an energy shaft) to basically star in 2 different TV shows.

None of those things has ever killed a Force User in Star Wars and to the contrary every single one is demonstrably survivable.

If they can bring back Maul they can certainly bring back Mace. Honestly a miss not doing so for the Boba show since that would be a conflict/grude people would remember from the movies and give a poo poo about seeing the payoff.
