We saw him in peril, we saw him lose his hand (a rite of passage in the Star Wars galaxy) and we saw him hurled into the traffic lanes of Coruscant by the unlimited power of Chancellor Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith, but as Empire Magazine celebrate 25 years since the release of The Phantom Menace, Samuel L. Jackson was keen to not only make clear that Mace is still alive (because we haven’t seen him die, a fair assessment given Darth Maul was sliced in half and the top half returned in The Clone Wars) but that he’d eagerly return.
For the new issue of Empire – celebrating 25 years of the Star Wars prequels – we fired off a few questions about the galaxy far, far away to the man himself, and he responded with a series of brief, emphatic messages. Most notably, he had three words to say on Mace Windu’s death scene: “HE’S NOT DEAD!!!” That’s that settled then. Two more words sure to stoke fans’ imaginations? On the subject of what he would want to do in a Mace Windu-centric Disney+ series, Jackson responded: “EVERYTHING YES!!” So there you have it: Samuel L. Jackson wants a Mace Windu show as much as you do.
