Windu also appears in the 2008 animated film The Clone Wars, the television series of the same name, and in novels, comics, and video games.

Although his weapon was not seen onscreen until Attack of the Clones, action figures released for The Phantom Menace paired Windu with a blue lightsaber.

[4] During the production of Attack of the Clones, Jackson asked Lucas if his character could wield a purple lightsaber to make him easily distinguishable in large battle scenes.

[6] Even though Windu dies in Revenge of the Sith, Jackson has called for the character's return in future Star Wars media.

[9] He initially refuses to believe that the assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala was authorized by the former Jedi Master Count Dooku, who is now the leader of a Separatist movement.

In the ensuing battle, Windu kills the bounty hunter Jango Fett and leads a clone army to victory against Dooku's forces.

[9] Windu and the other members of the Jedi Council are concerned that the Republic's Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine, may not relinquish his emergency powers when the Wars end.

After Obi-Wan kills the Separatist leader General Grievous, Palpatine reveals to Anakin that he is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, the mastermind of the war.

[11] Jackson makes a vocal cameo as Windu in The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final film of the sequel trilogy, set 54 years after his death in Revenge of the Sith.

In the series, Windu participates in the liberation of Ryloth, encounters Boba Fett as he attempts to avenge the death of his father Jango, and tries to recover a stolen Jedi Holocron.

He leads a small team of Jedi to a remote planet to investigate a Separatist presence, then battles a mercenary droid hired by General Grievous.

[13] Windu appears in flashbacks in the comic miniseries Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – Dark Temple.

It explains that Windu is the creator and sole master of Vaapad, a form of lightsaber combat which skirts dangerously close to the dark side.

In later chapters, Windu and Yoda help defend Coruscant from an attack by General Grievous, but are unable to prevent him from kidnapping Palpatine.
