The Star Wars saga is full of possibilities, but one of them often appears at the center of fan discussions, to the point that one actor speaks openly about it
We know that Star Wars is a saga that allows for all kinds of theories. One of the most successful is the return of Mace Windu. Because yes, for many, the Jedi Master Emeritus would still be alive and would have survived his duel against the terrible Palpatine. According to many, he was seriously injured in his fall and then decided to retreat and hide during the Great Purge. It’s clear that this opportunity excites a certain number of people, including the actor himself.
A cult character returning to the Star Wars saga?
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Star Wars prequels, Samuel L. Jackson was interviewed by Empire magazine. One sentence in particular stands out from this interview: “He’s not dead,” or so the actor thinks when asked about the end of Mace Windu’s character. And to please everyone, he even expressed his desire to have his own series on Disney+. Aside from the statement from the actor himself highlighting how much the character means to Jackson, it’s a tantalizing prospect. Imagine an Obi-Wan-style project but centered around the very charismatic Mace Windu, perhaps with battles against Jedi hunters.
It’s funny because this exact idea came from the YouTube channel Sidemaul, who created a real little artistic gem. The video lasts exactly 11 minutes and 42 minutes and offers a full French dubbing of very good quality about the possible survival of Windu. The creator Sidemaul himself has voiced certain characters in a complex manner, such as the clone troopers, the Sith Inquisitor or even Darth Vader himself. You can see the result below:
If there is a series, the question of the actor’s age still arises. Even if the actor seems physically young, he is still 75 years old and unless we use the famous digital rejuvenation techniques, it can be quite difficult to process the months after the duel with Palpatine straight away. Still, it remains a project that many fans would love to admire. Quite an epic spectacle. And then it would certainly be the opportunity to meet Yoda or maybe even Obi-Wan…
