STAR WARS: Samuel L. Jackson Rumored To Be In Talks To Return As Mace Windu

Samuel L. Jackson has always claimed that Mace Windu is still alive and kicking, and we're now hearing that the Jedi Master might be set to return to the Star Wars universe for a new project...

Mace Windu... lives?

Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was introduced as the purple Lightsaber-wielding Jedi Master in the first of George Lucas' Star Wars prequels, The Phantom Menace, and was ultimately being killed off (or so we thought) in Revenge of the Sith when Anakin Skywalker betrayed him by cutting off his arm and Emperor Palpatine used his Force-lightning to blast him out a very high window.

Despite the character's apparent death, fans have speculated that he may have survived (hey, if Darth Maul can return after being cut in half, anything is possible), and Jackson himself has frequently claimed that Windu is still among the living.

Most recently, the actor emphatically told Empire that Mace is "not dead," before making it clear that he'd be more than willing to return to the Galaxy Far, Far Away for a new movie or a Disney+ series.

"It's like, okay, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started, so maybe everyone thinks I'm dead and we'll find out what happened to Mace Windu," he said in a previous interview. "I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that's still around that didn't actually die."

"I could be a ghost hologram," he added. "I don't care, I just want to stay associated with the franchise. Not that I won't because I've been in three of them."

Now, scooper MTTSH is claiming that Jackson is officially in talks to return to the Star Wars universe for a mysterious project.

We don't have any other details (it could be a live-action or animated project), but it wouldn't really be too surprising if Jackson did reprise the role of Mace Windu after we've already seen a number of classic characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader revisited for new Disney+ shows.

How would you feel about Mace Windu being brought back for a new Star Wars project? Be sure to let us know in the comments section.

"It has been three years since the Clone Wars began. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) rescue Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grievous, the commander of the droid armies, but Grievous escapes. Suspicions are raised within the Jedi Council concerning Chancellor Palpatine, with whom Anakin has formed a bond. Asked to spy on the chancellor, and full of bitterness toward the Jedi Council, Anakin embraces the Dark Side."

Bringing Mace back seems like a no brainer. Since he fell never to be seen again, we have had characters get impaled, floating in the vacuum of space, escaping a sarlacc pit, literally split in half and they all survived. Shiiiiit Rey has healing powers. They can certainly explain Windu falling onto one of the flying cars after being pushed out of a window.

SW is dead.

They have a multibillion IP in their hands and have NO IDEA on what to do with it.

Unbelievable.

@Fogs - Sure they do. It's just nothing good.

@Fogs - Because they won't hire talented people that might know more than them.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - Which is also a shame because in this very forum I've seen many many great ideas for Marvel, DC or SW that were waaaay better than anything those so well-payed geniuses could ever come up with.

@Fogs - The IP is in a weird place. You can't go back really because they ruined it so its like pulling at a scab. If you put him in the Mandoverse, the problem you have is that lost steam. Ashoka, Boba Fett and Mando S3 reviewed mixed and that is being generous. Viewership is another problem.

They are scared to do something new because its riskly. Thats why they keep trying to recycle Rey. Plus Rey is KK's pride project so she won't want to give up on her. They really need to start all over again and keep Rey out of it.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - IMO the only way would be to have the new trilogy happening a 1000 years into the future, having really creative people working on it - some references could be there, regarding the legends of the empire and rebellion, but this time distance is only the path to not rely on hollow nostalgia, such is the SW status right now.

Which is obviously what they're not doing because they don't have a clue. I predict the franchise will slowly die, earning less and less.

@Fogs - 100%. Its the new the sith haven't been seen in a millenium. It would be more interesting to see the Jedi at full strength again and find out how that happened. I dont need 3 movies to show me how. If it was Luke? Yes. Anyone else I don't care.

Why bother at this point? Everything Disney is doing is both damaging the franchise even further by trying to play damage control at every decision they make. There is no genuine flying f*ck into a rolling donut care creating good content. The moment they hired "Simon Kinberg" was literally them realizing no writer wants to work in their pool of douchebaggery.

Let people "miss" Star Wars, stop overly producing content that doesn't need to be overly produced. Star Wars survived with nearly 20 years with no movies and was a major pop-culture phenomenon (despite Episode 1 you know...doing what it did)

Does anyone else wish that WB or Sony had bought 20th Century Fox instead of Disney, and then traded the rights to the rest of the Marvel characters Disney didn't yet own to get Lucasfilm out from under this Woke, dumb@ss studio that has no idea how to make good Star Wars or Indiana Jones... or even freaking Willow?

Pop culture would be so much better.

Arthorious - 11/11/2024, 5:15 PM
@HistoryofMatt - I'd prefer if Universal/Comcast bought them instead. WB and Sony don't have the best track record for long term existing properties.
HistoryofMatt
HistoryofMatt - 11/11/2024, 7:40 PM
@Arthorious - Fair enough. My point is, ANYONE BUT DISNEY. Putting Lucasfilm into the most Woke entertainment company, a company that knows how to sell to girls but no idea how to sell to boys, was the death of Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

If he does come back to SWs, I sure hope he says his best line of all time:

"You know what they say about making an assumption.... it makes an ass outta you, and umption."

A 75-year-old Jackson returning as an older Windu who won’t be able to do his own stunts. And will probably be closer to 80 by the time the show or film is made.

Or…..they could actually hand off Star Wars to a younger generation of heroes who can carry the story into the future.

Oh wait…..they tried that already…..nevermind.

@TyrantBossMedia - Possibly making it a video game isn't exactly a bad idea. That way you can keep Mace the same age. The game starts right as he falls. He slowly progresses getting health upgrades, goes on a journey to different planets, learns new skills, meets new characters, he helps the galaxy but manages to keep under the radar. The game can basically be Assassin's Creed but Star Wars. Stealth combat, side missions and quests that reveal more about the Sith and Jedi and his place in it all. Just throwing out ideas
