Mace Windu Appreciation Week

Mace Windu Appreciation Week

Mace Windu is often overlooked, bashed, or villainized for no reason, so let’s give him some love and appreciation!

The week running from April 25th-May1st will be Mace Windu Appreciation week.

Mace positive content, no matter what sort, fic, art, vids, fanmixes, meta/headcanons is welcome and encouraged.

For those who would like some direction a list of themes will be provided, but you don’t have to follow any theme so long as it’s positive Mace Windu centric work. 

Day 1, Sunday, April 25- Serenity: Jedi are generally calming and solid as a group. Let’s see Mace in a serene moment, whether this is meditation, a quiet moment with the council, or calm during battle. When, where and how is Mace serene?

Alt theme- Acting: The fact that Mace was a star actor before his seat on the council is a fun little tidbit. Let’s see him in his acting element, on stage on Coruscant, as part of a plan in the Clone Wars, or advertising some goofy product between late night holo-programs. Where is he acting, what sort of part?

Day 2, Monday, April 26- Vaapad/Shatterpoint: Mace is a fantastic Jedi with a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Shatterpoints lets him see important events, like flaws in a gem, where one strike might change the course of history. Vaapad is a form of lightsaber combat that funnels the anger or fury of the user and opponent into a faster, harder to combat style, it might look like his lightsaber is a blur or that there are several blades. Let’s see a piece of him using either of these abilities, or explaining or teaching them.

At theme- Color: Of course Mace is associated with purple, but that is not the only color you could choose. Maybe it’s monochrome, black and white with color additions. Maybe it’s the red sand of Geonosis, and the red blood of those who died, and the red rage that Mace might have to calm because of it. Maybe the calm brown of the Jedi temple, the solid brown of the earth and the life, the force Mace feels that runs through both. Maybe it’s a crest for Mace’s Jedi line with significance to the colors chosen. Let’s see a work with a focus on color or colors.

Day 3, Tuesday April 27- Romance: Let’s see that shipping, maybe it’s a canon character, maybe it’s an OC, maybe it’s reader insert, but let’s see what a romance with Mace is!

Alt Theme- Crossover: There are plenty of interesting works of fiction and fictional characters out there, let’s see Mace interacting with one, or more! Is it someone from another sci-fi series? Or another Samuel L. Jackson character? The sky’s the limit for who he might meet.

Day 4, Wednesday, April 28- Friendship: Who is friends with Mace, and what do they do? Is it all other Jedi? Or perhaps other people on Coruscant? What sort of friendship do they have?

Alt theme- Music: Whether it’s Mace listening to or creating music, or what music you associate Mace, let’s see what his (or our) taste in music is!

Day 5, Thursday, April 29- AU: Maybe the Jedi are fantasy knights, or Mace is a senator instead of a Jedi. Maybe the Republic won the Clone Wars, or Mace became a Sith. Maybe he survived his fall or is a Mandalorian, let’s see your favorite AU ideas involving Mace.

Alt theme- Padawan: Maybe it’s during Mace’s time as a padawan, or involving his padawan, Depa, her padawan Caleb, or maybe he’s helping teach a padawan for a different knight or master. There are a lot of padawns out there, let’s see Mace as or interacting with padawans.

Day 6, Friday, April 30- Badass: We know Mace Windu is a grade A badass, but it never hurts to mention. Show us your favorite canon moments, or create your own badass Mace moment.

Alt theme- Memento: As a Jedi Mace has done a lot of things, gone to a lot of places, and met a lot of people. Let’s see a keepsake or a souvenir from some adventure he’s been on, and what it makes him think of or feel.

Day 7, Saturday, May 1- Free Day: Go wild, be the Mace Windu content you want to see in the world!

Alt theme - Humor: Let’s see goofy, jokey Mace, or Mace as the straight man delivering the punchline. Do you think Mace was perhaps the temple clown as a child? Or that he can and will joke so sly and sarcastic it takes a moment to process and get?
