Star Wars is filled with unresolved mysteries, and one of them is Mace Windu's questionable death during Revenge of the Sith. Samuel L. Jackson portrayed the memorable Jedi master in the prequel trilogy, but the character suffered a gruesome demise at the hands of Emperor Palpatine. Since then, fans have wondered if the character is really dead or a comeback could happen sometime soon. Show Back in 2020, it was previously rumored that a Mace Windu prequel series for Disney+ was being developed by Lucasfilm. However, no new details have emerged ever since that report, but this has led to the belief that there are still plans for the character. The Book of Boba Fett lead star Temuera Morrison previously revealed his desire for "revenge" against Windu, potentially hinting that a return for Jackson's Jedi master could be in the cards in a future project. Now, the actor himself has expressed interest for a comeback in a new interview. Will Mace Windu Return? Samuel L. Jackson sat down as a guest on a live sit-down with Happy Sad Confused's Josh Horowitz, during which he talked about a potential Star Wars return as Mace Windu. When asked if fans should hold out hope for a Mace Windu comeback, Jackson boldly admitted that he wants to reprise his role as the famous Jedi master. The Marvel and Star Wars veteran revealed that he told The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett director Bryce Dallas Howard about his desire to return:
A 'The Mandalorian' Comeback for Mace Windu?Many would agree that a Mace Windu return is inevitable at this point, since the character's demise has long been a topic of discussion among fans. Still, a compelling storyline should be showcased in order to make the character's return worth it. In addition, Samuel L. Jackson's willingness to return to the role should be a positive sign for Lucasfilm, mainly because it wouldn't be hard to negotiate on the studio's end. While the Skywalker Saga has ended its big-screen run, Star Wars’ small-screen branch is just getting started with The Mandalorian. The Pedro Pascal-led series brought back many fan-favorite characters, such as Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett, and Luke Skywalker. It’s possible that Mace Windu could be added to the list, especially after Jackson’s comments. Given that Din Djarin and Grogu are traveling to different locations in The Mandalorian, it's possible that they end up meeting Windu on an unknown planet. While this could simply serve as a random encounter, the show could end up revealing that Windu is the one who saved Grogu from Order 66. This potential reveal could change The Mandalorian universe in more ways than one, as it unravels the mystery behind Grogu's past in Coruscant. On the other hand, The Book of Boba Fett is also a viable option for Mace Windu's comeback, considering the storied history between the titular bounty hunter and the Jedi master. Whatever the case, many would agree that all signs indicate that a Mace Windu return is plausible at this point.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)It looks like we don't have any photos or quotes yet. Be the first to contribute! Add a photo or add a quote. Samuel L. Jackson, who portrayed Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, is ready to make his comeback as the powerful Jedi in future projects. During a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Jackson expressed how much he’d like to return to the role for The Mandalorian — even though his character would be one-handed this time around. Windu is presumed dead at the end of Revenge of the Sith, after being blasted out of a window by Darth Sidious. But Jackson thinks that Windu is still alive out there with only one hand. “It’s the same way I think about the dude from Jurassic Park,” Jackson said. “He’s somewhere riding around on velociraptors with one hand. He’s just on that island riding raptors.” Now, before you get too excited, there aren’t any confirmed upcoming appearances for Jackson in the Star Wars universe just yet. “The only person I've ever said that to about coming back was Bryce Dallas Howard because I just did a movie with her, and she directs episodes of The Mandalorian,” Jackson explained. “So I go, ‘So you think you might be able to hook a brother up? I mean, you like me, right?’ And she’s like ‘I love you, you’re amazing.’ So put me back in, I’m ready. Put me in, coach. I’ll learn lightsaber lefthanded.” Last year, Jackson even brought up the topic of Mace Windu’s fate to Star Wars creator George Lucas. Said Jackson: “George is like, ‘I’m okay with that. You can be alive.’” But even though Jackson has secured Lucas' blessing in making Windu’s survival canon, it doesn’t really do much as Lucas isn't involved with those kinds of franchise decisions anymore. At the very least, it certainly opens up some interesting conversations about Mace Windu’s potential return. If Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor can return as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi for the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, then anything is possible.
Mace Windu is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, most famously portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the prequel films. However, he has also been voiced by other actors in assorted video game and animated projects. Mace Windu is a Jedi Master and one of the last members of the Jedi Council before the fall of the Galactic Republic. Windu is the Council's primary liaison to the Supreme Chancellor, although the Clone Wars caused him to question his firmest held beliefs.[1] History[]<tabber> |-|Movie series= The Phantom Menace[]Windu first appears in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace as the Master of the Jedi Order.[1] He is present when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) brings Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) before the Jedi Council, claiming that the young slave is the "Chosen One" who Jedi prophecy foretells will bring balance to the Force. Windu shares the Council's concerns that the boy exhibits a great deal of fear, and agrees with the body's unanimous decision to deny Qui-Gon permission to train him as a Jedi. However, following Qui-Gon's death at the hands of the Sith Lord Darth Maul (Ray Park, and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz), the Council reconsiders and allows Qui-Gon's apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), to train Anakin instead. He is present at Qui-Gon's funeral, at which time he confirms with Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) that Qui-Gon's killer was undoubtedly a Sith, though they were not sure if this was the master or just the apprentice. Attack of the Clones[]In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, set 10 years later, Mace tries to help the Council defeat the growing threat presented by the Separatists, led by Jedi Master-turned-Sith lord Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). He also watches with growing concern as the now-adult Anakin (Hayden Christensen) begins to rebel against Obi-Wan's tutelage. In the film's climactic scene, he leads a large group of Jedi in a battle against Dooku's army. In this battle, Windu kills bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), the template for an army of clone troopers. Clone Wars[]Mace Windu appears extensively in the Star Wars "Expanded Universe" of novels and comic books. He is a major supporting character in the animated micro-series Star Wars: Clone Wars, which appeared on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005. In the series, he is portrayed by voice-actor T. C. Carson. In episodes 12 and 13 of Volume One, he is shown defending the grasslands planet Dantooine against a large hovering "fortress", and over the course, he loses his lightsaber, forcing him to instead use a lethal form of unarmed combat powered by the Force. In episode 25, the final episode of Volume Two (and the series), he and fellow Jedi Master Yoda help defend the planet Coruscant from an attack by Dooku's second-in-command, General Grievous. In the midst of the battle, he realizes that the attack is a ruse to distract the Jedi from Grievous' true objective: to kidnap Palpatine. He is too late to save the Chancellor, but uses the Force to crush Grievous' chest, inflicting upon the cyborg general the wheezing, asthmatic cough heard in Revenge of the Sith. Revenge of the Sith[]Mace makes his final film appearance in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. By this point, he has fought in the Clone Wars for three years, during which time he has come to distrust the Republic's Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). When Palpatine appoints Anakin as his personal representative on the Jedi Council, Windu fears that the move is designed to give the Chancellor a vote in Jedi affairs, and casts a key vote in denying Anakin the full rank of Jedi Master. Shortly afterwards, Anakin tells Mace he has learned that Palpatine is in fact the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Mace, accompanied by Jedi Masters Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin, goes to the Chancellor's office to confront him, though the Dark Lord may have actually expected his arrival. Resisting arrest, Sidious brandishes a red lightsaber and launches himself at the Jedi, killing all three of Mace's companions and engaging him in a lightsaber duel. Windu gains the upper hand in winning the lightsaber part of the entire duel and disarms the Sith Lord, who fires Force lightning at him; Windu blocks the lightning with his lightsaber and directs it back at Sidious, scarring the Sith Lord's face. Anakin then arrives and Sidious begs for help, stating that only he can save Anakin's wife, Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman). Anakin pleads with Mace not to kill the Chancellor, and that he should stand trial before the Senate. Windu replies that Sidious controls both the Senate and the courts, and is too dangerous to be kept alive. As Mace prepares to strike, Anakin intervenes and severs Windu's lightsaber hand. Sidious then casts off his illusion of weakness, and hits Mace with another torrent of lightning, sending Mace plunging out of the chamber window to his death.[2] Books[]Mace is the central character of Matthew Stover's novel Shatterpoint, in which he is called to his home planet of Haruun Kal to defeat his former apprentice, Depa Billaba, who has turned to the dark side of the Force. The novel establishes that Windu has the unique talent of seeing "shatterpoints", or faultlines in the Force that could affect the destinies of certain individuals, and indeed the galaxy itself. It also explains that Windu is the creator and sole master of a style of lightsaber combat called Vaapad (Form VII), in which the combatant skirts dangerously close to the dark side — without giving into it — by actually enjoying the fight and the thrill of victory. All others who attempted to master the form either gave in to the dark side or were unable to properly master the technique. Stover also referenced these abilities in his novelization of Revenge of the Sith. It was said that without his unique style only Yoda and Count Dooku could match him. However, with the use of Vaapad he was the greatest swordsman of his time, able to defeat Darth Sidious in lightsaber combat which even Yoda could not achieve. He was also able to overwhelm Dooku in lightsaber combat during the battle of Boz Pity which took place between Episodes II and III. Besides Shatterpoint, Mace has appeared in other Expanded Universe novels, such as Cloak of Deception, Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, Rogue Planet, Outbound Flight, The Cestus Deception, Jedi Trial, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous and Labyrinth of Evil. Star Wars Transformers[]A Mace Windu action figure was added to the Star Wars Transformers toy line in 2006. It was a remold of the toy first used for Obi-Wan Kenobi, he becomes an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor starfighter with Astromech droid R4-M6. Reception[]IGN reported Mace Windu as the 27th top Star Wars character, stating that he is an important component of the series.[3] Further reading[]
