It's crazy how angry that group of cacs were at the Finn promotion prior to the movie, but how quiet and
they were with Finn after.
I'm guessing they're the same ones that use to say Mace Windu was a Sith, still think he was too hard on Anakin and still think he didn't legitimately defeat the Emperor - shyt got so bad George Lucas came out of hibernation twice to explicitly state that Mace pulled his card.
Even in the movie universe they set Mace up as second to none, making executive decisions right in front of Yoda and establishing that Palpatine was a coward (don't forget he tries to run from Yoda after Yoda blasts his ass across the room, Mace foreshadows this right at the start of the flick:
Palpatine: as long as Grievous is alive this war is not over
Mace: Grievous is a coward, he will run and hide but we shall find him.)
Fans forgive Anakin for slaughtering kids but they'll never forgive Mace for not taking shyt from one of his students and being tough on him.
