The 2019 Star Wars The Black Series Mace Windu (#82) delivers one of the most important Jedi Masters of the Prequel Trilogy with a sculpt that balances authority, power, and screen accuracy. Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal of Mace Windu — stoic, uncompromising, and deadly with a lightsaber — is captured here with a strong portrait, layered Jedi robes, and his signature purple lightsaber, the Vaapad‑wielding weapon that sets him apart from every other Jedi.
Released as part of Wave 23, this figure arrived during the late Red Line era and quickly became one of the most celebrated Jedi sculpts in the line. The combination of a soft‑goods cloak, detailed tunic, and sharply sculpted portrait gives the figure a premium presence. The lightsaber hilt is screen‑accurate, featuring the gold and silver detailing unique to Mace’s weapon.
The figure represents Mace primarily as he appears in Attack of the Clones, particularly during the Geonosis Jedi Strike Team sequence — the moment the Jedi Order steps into open warfare for the first time in generations.
