frick Mace. It’s all his fault.

Tell me it wouldn't be an interesting storyline, if he's somewhere in the background.
He'd hate Palpatine and Vader, and wouldn't trust those damn fool naive Rebels either. In fact, frick everybody. He'd be quietly brewing up some Dark Jedi vengeance shite.
And once the Empire fell, he'd have opportunity to start exerting influence.

Thinking about that, and the casino planet on Ep 8... he'd have the connections to all the arms dealers in that scenario. Some he'd know as leader of the Jedi Council, others via the Techno Union. Enough Force power to mask shite from both sides, especially since everyone thinks he's dead. So that irrelevant scene would now become relevant... that's his new power base. And he could be training the kids in the stable; show them humility with making them do menial labor etc. Teach them how to hide in plain sight.

Also would make that Benicio Del Toro comment about "you just don't get it, it's playing both sides" more important.

And best of all, it gives you the chance to bring both Samuel Jackson and Benicio Del Toro back into the universe.
