The Jedi fell from power during the Star Wars prequel trilogy. One Jedi who doesn’t get his fair share of the blame is Mace Windu.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy showed the Jedi’s fall from power. There were many reasons why this happened. They became prideful as a group in whole and believed they were all-powerful. They also were tricked by a masterful plan set by arguably the strongest Dark Side wielder of the Force of all time.

While the group as a whole can be blamed for the fall, individual Jedi also need to share the blame. One who rarely gets the finger pointed at him when talking about the Jedi’s fall is Mace Windu.

He was one of the leaders of the Jedi council and through his arrogance and hubris, it can be argued he was just as bit as responsible if not more, than any other Jedi.
