Yes the act was a little extreme, but in the end it was justified. The Jedi attempted an illegal coup against the legal head of state of the Republic just because of his religion. To make that even worse Windu was going to kill the guy without a trial just because "he's to dangerous" and mainly because of his religion.

Edited by EshraytheGrey: 6/28/2013 9:30:39 PMI tend to sympathize towards rebels and chaotic good characters, as I am technically chaotic good myself. As for the whole Order 66 thing, Yeah, I gotta go with the Jedi on this one. Sidious may have been the head of state, but he was only using the Empire as a conduit for his own power and exploit the law and his rule to his own benefit. Point goes to Luke and the Gang. However, I never did find the Republic Jedi Order that good either, the fact that the Jedi and Sith have fought for thousands if not tens of thousands of years, so the whole Mace Windu thing could be something like 2 rivaling clans, Hatfields and McCoys, Rangers vs Celtics. Rivaling Clans of which I cannot sympathize toward either of. Mace Didn't want to kill Sidious based on faith for the most part, it was because he was Sith, a part of that Rival clan. By the by, are there any Star Wars characters out there that use the Dark Side of the force for good? rather than Evil?
