Today is a good day to remind everyone that Mace Windu spends like 75% of his TCW screentime protecting Clones and giving all kinds of kriffs about them.
he breaks a windshield and carries the clone driver out of a destroyed tank on ryloth
"get the injured back, I'm gonna clear the road!" (– which is, you know, just the most dangerous job since there's a cannon aiming at him)
his first question after getting out of that mess is "how many men did we lose?"
he Force-throws two troopers to safety when the plasma bridge they're on deactivate, which almost results in him falling to his death (except he's too awesome)
he leaves Anakin Skywalker in charge of negotiating a treaty to go look for survivors in the giant crater their troops fell in
he kneels down next to an injured clone and talks to him softly when they're looking for the Zillo beast on Malastare
he pulls the dead trooper out of his burning quarters when Boba plays terrorist, cradling the clone and urgently asking if he's alright
he's ready to go face Aurra Sing and Boba to protect the hostages when he's still in Medbay and too injured to go anywhere according to Plo
he accepts Cody and Rex's plans, no questions asked, as well as Echo's when Echo could very well be compromised – because that's how much he trusts them all
(even when at this point he's known for months that the clone army was created by Dooku)
he evacuates his men to deal with a giant freaking bomb all by himself
"get the men out of here!" "don't worry about me, Captain – just get your men out of there!"
"The Council reprimanded Anakin for showing too much care for his men," some fanfics have the gall to claim. Get outta here.
