Mace Windu: We’re here to arrest you.

Palpatine: *murders the other three Jedi there*

Palpatine: *literally using a DEADLY force move against Mace Windu*

Mace Windu: *defending himself, because if he stops for even a MOMENT he will be killed by the lightening he’s redirecting*

Mace: Anakin this man, who is literally actively trying to kill me in such a way if I stop this defensive stance I will die, is too dangerous to live. He is currently ACTIVELY trying to kill me, right now.

Anakin: This isn’t the Jedi way.

Anakin stans and people who hate Mace for no reason: SEE Mace is BAD and WRONG, him insisting that a man who just murdered three of his fellows and is STILL actively attempting to murder him as the scene takes place means it’s just like Anakin beheading a disarmed and non-resisting Dooku. MACE IS BAD!!!1!

How different do you think things would’ve been for Anakin had Qui-Gon lived?

I think he might have done better with Qui-Gon as his master than Obi-Wan, since as I understand it Obi-Wan didn’t want to take on a Padawan at all and only did so because Qui-Gon asked as his last wish. I love Obi and Ani’s relationship, but it’s also pretty evident that Obi wasn’t up to the job of curbing his Padawan’s worst impulses. Qui-Gon’s unorthodox approach to the Force might have worked better with Anakin.

au where Anakin is Mace Windu’s padawan

Anakin bit his lip, afraid to ask, but needing to know. “Master? Why didn’t you want me to be a Jedi?”

Mace gave the boy, his student for nearly a year, a measured look. “I was afraid.”

“Of me?” Anakin’s voice trembled despite his best efforts. Master Windu wasn’t afraid of anything. “What’s wrong with me?”

Mace shook his head. “You reminded me of someone I didn’t want to remember.”

Anakin looked at the floor, his shoulders tight with anger, fear, shame, and his determination not to show them. “A Sith,” he guessed.

Mace placed a hand on his wayward padawan’s shoulder. “Myself,” he explained. “Before I learned to trust the Force.”

Anakin raised wide eyes to his master’s, flashing with a hundred questions, but he could articulate none. Mace pat his shoulder, once, and let go.

“You will be a Jedi. I promise.”
