Next to that age old question we all ask ourselves at one point or another in our lives, “How did those AT-ATs get down to the surface of the ice planet Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back,” another, maybe more important, question arises:
Back when I was working at Juxt Interactive (I’ll go into more details about that in another post), I found myself in a debate with coworker, and Art Director, Brian (Laser) Miller about this question. He just couldn’t believe that a badass like Mace could have been killed so easily, and was sure that Mace could have easily grabbed onto a hovercar/spaceship flying over Coruscant as he fell to his imminent death.
My argument was the fact that a badass such as Mace would’ve surely shown his face and gone down fighting rather than gone into hiding, which is what is assumed if he was still alive.
Brian responded to me later via e-mail and with an image attached, and the rest of the correspondence is below.
I conceded to Brian, but only cause I’d reached the limits of my Photoshop skills. Mace is still dead.
Here’s what Brian had to say when I told him I was putting this on the web for all to see.
imtgp: i just told him what your doing
imtgp: he wants to do more
imtgp: i said, dude, dont you have tons to do
imtgp: he said “yeah, but i believe mace is still alive”

We all know Mace couldn’t take the pressure from all his fans and faked his death. He now lives in a small hamlet outside of Okachokee in Wisconsin.
Every once in a while an attention seeking loner will claim to have seen him in a dream/vision/abduction.
