Samuel L. Jackson Says ‘He’s Not Dead!’ During ‘Star Wars’ Chat About Mace Windu, Gets Excited Over the Possibility of a Disney+ Series


Samuel L. Jackson is ready to return to "Star Wars."

Before Samuel L. Jackson became synonymous with the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his decades-long role as Nick Fury, it was “ Star Wars ” that was the first Hollywood mega-franchise to open its doors for the beloved actor. Jackson played Jedi master Mace Windu in George Lucas’ “Star Wars” prequel trilogy, and it’s a role he appears quite eager to play again despite Mace being killed off in 2015’s “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” after Anakin severs his hand with a lightsaber and Emperor Palpatine electrocutes him and send him flying out of a building window. Jackson spoke with Empire magazine to mark the 25th anniversary of George Lucas launching the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy, which polarized audiences and film critics during its run.
