Note my avatar-- do you really think getting his hand cut off, being zapped, and falling out a window would be enough to take Mace out for good? If Anakin can free fall through a freeway and land on a car, so can Mace. ;)
Also, Boba Fett is so tough, that the only way to defeat him in ROTJ was by a freak accident involving a blind man. Everyone knows that he blasted his way out of there a few hours later, though. ;)
Mace Windu was an idiot who would have probably gone to the dark side as a padawan if the Star Wars movies were consistent (proper jedis don't do "badass"). Yeah he died in ROTS. That was Lucas punishing him for wanting to kill a seemingly helpless Palpatine, a big no-no by the jedi code. He's dead, otherwise he would have showed up and helped out in the OOT era (remember Yoda telling Luke he's the last of the jedi?). Good riddance. Purple lightsaber my ass. The whole character was Lucas warping Star Wars to pander to a big star, which should never have happened. Boba Fett is an overrated flunky who got bumped off in ROTJ and stayed that way, eu resurrections being irrelevant. Temuera Morrison is not Boba Fett and his voice being put into ESB was an abomination. Jango Fett is a nonexistent character from a set of films that weren't Star Wars. The only good thing Mace Windu did was off him. Not showing Jango's head drop out of the helmet when kid non-Boba picks it up was chickening out.
If Lucas makes a post-ROTJ show don't depend on him paying much attention to what the eu has established. Don't expect Mara Jade. Lucas has already said Luke doesn't get married. Lucas has said the Star Wars story is ended with Vader's death, so he's unlikely to do a post-ROTJ story, but if he does it'll be his vision, not the eu. Personally I hope he doesn't do any such story, but if he does I hope he ignores the bloody eu.
I think Lucas is quite happy and busy doing stuff set between TPM and ROTJ and that'll keep him busy for a long time. They have a live action tv show (set between the OT and PT) planned for after The Clone Wars show and it was even mentioned that they migtht expand that to five live action shows, all set in the period between the OT and the PT. He's also putting time into making non-franchise films like Red Tails and there's also continuing the Indiana Jones series. Doesn't leave much room for doing a post-ROTJ story, which he has categorically said he wouldn't do.
