10 Scariest Uses Of Force Power In Star Wars History
2. Palpatine Kills Mace Windu
This moment in Revenge of the Sith is when Chancellor Palpatine dropped all pretense and became Emperor Palpatine.
As Mace Windu and three other Jedi arrived at his chambers to arrest him for crimes against the Senate, Palpatine kept his charming demeanour until it was obvious that he was fooling no one. He then showed why he was a Sith Lord, easily killing three Jedi before his fatal duel with Master Windu.
As Windu gained the upper hand, the Chancellor used Force lightning, which changed his looks to the pale, zombie-like Emperor. All the while, he begged Windu not to kill him, feigning weakness and forgiveness.
Anakin, with some of the worst timing in movie history, arrived and distracted Windu, allowing the Emperor to use one last surge of Force lightning to kill Mace in a most painful way, cackling all the while.
As a final insult, he flung Windu's body out of an open window, far into the suburbs of Coruscant.
Samuel L. Jackson said of Windu before it was known he was going to be killed : "I don't mind dying, I just don't wanna go out like some punk." He got his wish.
