It seems the debate over Mace Windu’s fate continues to rage among fans, but Samuel L.
Jackson himself has weighed in on the matter. In a recent interview with Empire, the actor behind the esteemed Jedi Master from the prequel trilogy declared definitively, “HE’S NOT DEAD!!!”
Jackson’s assertion has reignited hopes among fans for the return of Mace Windu, sparking discussions about the possibility of a Disney+ series centered around the character. When asked about his interest in such a project, Jackson enthusiastically responded, “EVERYTHING YES!!”
While Windu’s apparent demise in Revenge of the Sith left many questions unanswered, his presence in Star Wars: The Clone Wars offered fans some consolation, showcasing his encounters with formidable adversaries like the Zillo Beast and the Nightsisters’ Mother Talzin.
Samuel L. Jackson’s keen interest in bringing Windu back to the forefront of the Star Wars universe, evident from his personal touches on the character’s lightsaber, has fueled anticipation among fans. Should a Mace Windu-focused Disney+ series come to fruition, it could explore various aspects of the character’s journey, potentially delving into his exile and escape, and perhaps even incorporating elements of the Gray Jedi lore from Legends.
However, the ultimate decision rests with Disney and Lucasfilm, who must navigate the complexities of Star Wars canon and Legends history to determine the fate of this iconic Jedi Master. As fans eagerly await further developments, the possibility of Mace Windu’s return remains a tantalizing prospect in the ever-expanding Star Wars saga.
