The end of the line for Jango Fett! |
Separated in battle from Obi-Wan (who has now dispatched the Acklay beast and numerous intimidated Battle Droids), Mace Windu finds himself back in the target sites of bounty hunter Jango Fett, who propels himself into the arena for final conflict against the Jedi, though the primal Reek has a grudge to settle first against any humanoid in its riotous path, notably injuring Fett and disabling his jet pack before the bounty hunter ultimately kills it. No longer a threat to Mace Windu, the supreme Jedi fighter makes the graceful killing moves that lead to his separating Jango's head from his body, watched from a distance by a shocked Boba!

The rampant Reek attacks anything in its way, first separating Obi-Wan and Mace, then going for Jango Fett with thunderous skill. |

... whilst Mace retrieves his lightsaber in an alternate take. |
"My fight with Jango is a combination of him trying to escape and me trying to stop him. so there are a few elements, of him flying around, shooting projectiles at me, me defending myself and then going on the offensive. And once that happens he's pretty much toast."
Samuel L. Jackson - Lucasfilm promotional interview for EPISODE II - 2001
“Mace’s style (of fighting) is quite economic. If he gets within range, there’s
no question-you’re dead.”
Nick Gillard - Dreamwatch magazine - June 2002
“George was like, “Hmm, well, there are only two colours. Bad guys have red
and good guys have blue. Let me think about it. Then we went back to do
some shots in London, he said, “hey, take a look at this.” He pulled up some
footage and my lightsaber comes up purple. I was like “Is this just for this or
is it going to be like that in the movie?” He goes, “No, you got it.” Purple is
my favourite colour, and it has regal overtones, it’s a powerful colour. And
then when I’m in big battles scenes off in the distance, I can always say,
“Look! There I am, over there.” ”
Samuel L. Jackson - Empire magazine - June 2002
“Mace is not the calmest of Jedis. He’d just as soon saber you in the back.”
