10 Terrible Star Wars Characters With ONE Incredible Scene

10. The Party Is Over - Mace Windu

Bringing the great Samuel L. Jackson into the Star Wars universe as a Jedi could have led to one of the most iconic performances in movie history.

Unfortunately, though, Jackson's time as powerful but supremely arrogant Jedi Master Mace Windu is largely just spent sitting on a chair, ordering other Jedi about, and being about as interesting as a glass of water.

But there was one moment there when Jackson was finally given the chance to be the unquestionable badass he's always been.

While he did at least enjoy a rather dramatic death at the hands of Darth Sidious and Anakin Skywalker in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Mace Windu's arrival on Geonosis in Episode II: Attack of the Clones is his one properly incredible moment.

After Chancellor Palpatine had created his Grand Army of the Republic, the Jedi Master brilliantly arrived on the planet by sneaking up on Count Dooku and Jango Fett, and pulling out his purple (!) lightsaber before noting how this party was over.

The perfectly delivered follow-up of "I don't think so" when told the Jedi were outnumbered, along with his spectacular Force jump as he evaded the bounty hunter's flamethrower attack, both acted as tremendous appetisers before that jaw-dropping visual of a wave of lightsabers colliding with the droid army and Windu's eventual decapitating of Jango, too.

This is the Jackson fans paid to see in a Star Wars movie, not the one sat twiddling his thumbs on the Jedi Council.
