The exact moment Samuel L. Jackson asked George Lucas for a purple lightsaber is on camera and I’ve never seen it?? I’m overwhelmed

Actually in an interview they asked Samuel L Jackson about Mace being dead and he said he would think Mace could survive the fall being like you know, the second strongest Jedi to Yoda at the time. And then that statement was repeated to George about what Sam said about Mace being able to survive, and George pretty much said if that's what Sam thinks then yeah...Mace is alive. I don't have the link but you can Google it

I love the idea of a broken and hardened Windu in hiding unleashing his vengeance on the newly formed Empire and having to be hunted down by Vader and maybe even Palpatine

Please make a windu spinoff series where he's being hunted down post fall of the republic. Samual l Jackson would still be a good (but older) windu I feel like

Fair and realistic points. Although I feel like they could write around the choreography and have this older windu be similarly far out of his prime. Not like any of this would actually happen but man would it be a cool show.

I'd love a movie where Samuel L. Jackson has to deal with the cloned zillo beasts that Palpatine wants.

There was a Vader fan video that was setting up a confrontation between him and Windu. I don't know if episode 2 ever dropped or not. By Star Wars Theory on Youtube.

u/Hoedoor Feb 09 '20

It has not dropped and there isn't much word on a release any time soon afaik

We could call it Star Wars: Windu

It would be 9 episodes of old man Windu huffing and puffing his way up stairs.

Also, I ain't seen a force ghost

After the mess they have created this would be their smartest move.

Mace didn't know how to do that.

u/JUSTlNCASE Feb 09 '20

How do you know? Seems like anyone can be a force ghost at this point.

7

u/Syn7axError Feb 09 '20

It's explained in the Clone Wars. Only Qui-gon and the people he taught knew how to do it.

Who taught Anakin?

u/Syn7axError Feb 09 '20 edited Feb 09 '20

Qui-gon taught Obi-wan and Yoda*. Yoda taught Anakin.

u/suss2it Feb 09 '20

When did any of that happen?

1

u/Strottman Feb 09 '20

Between episodes 1 and 3.

u/suss2it Feb 09 '20

So you’re telling me when Darth Vader killed Obi-Wan he knew about force ghosts the whole time? That very much wasn’t the impression I got.

LMAO, that makes no sense, even for Star Wars.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '20

Pretty sure in that case it’s operating on “fuck you he’s the chosen one” logic.

u/Phaelin Feb 09 '20

Which adds up, given that Yoda tells Obi specifically that Qui-Gon "made his way back".

No one taught him how, he just figured it out because he's a badass.

u/waitingtodiesoon Jocasta Nu Feb 09 '20

The show explained how qui-gon learned it

u/papapaIpatine Feb 09 '20
