Now, he&#8217;s about to reappear once again, and in one of the most underrated adaptations in the Star Wars franchise as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Over on the Asmodee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asmodee.co.uk\/products\/amgswq143-star-wars-legion-jedi-council-commander-expansion\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, you should be able to find the link for the new <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/star-wars-legion-new-starter-sets-revealed-price\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Star Wars: Legion<\/em><\/a> miniature release, the Jedi Council Commander Expansion. If you haven&#8217;t come across Legion yet, it&#8217;s essentially as close as we get to a Star Wars equivalent of Warhammer, and this new set brings notable members of the Jedi Council to the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>That includes a highly detailed rendition of <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/star-wars-mace-windu-heroes-villains-2026-release\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mace Windu<\/a>, who is bound to be a devastating character to field as part of your army. In sharing what fans can expect from the release, the product descritption reads as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;To defend the Galactic Republic The Jedi Council dispatched Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Plo Koon, and Shaak Ti to fight alongside its Clone Troopers on the battlefield and quell the Separatist Uprising.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This expansion for Star Wars: Legion contains 4 finely-detailed miniatures, enough for 2 Commander Units and 2 Operative Units, as well as Unit and Upgrade Cards to support gameplay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That era before the fall of the Jedi is undoubtedly one of the most action-packed that we&#8217;ve seen, particularly in the film adaptations, so to see that rendered here is pretty cool. The only potential caveat is the price, as the quality of the miniatures does add a premium that not everyone will feel comfortable with. The four miniatures cost $59.99\/\u00a359.99, so be prepared for that going in if you do want to get involved.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Merrick Morton\\\/TM \\\/ Courtesy Everett Collection&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/samuel-l-jackson-as-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samuel L.
