There are standard film franchises, after which there’s Star Wars. The beloved property (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription) is consistently increasing, with followers spending many years watching the Star Wars motion pictures so as. The fanbase is inquisitive about upcoming Star Wars motion pictures and TV reveals, and a brand new rumor claims that Samuel L. Jackson could be returning a Mace Windu. Though as a fan myself, I’ve received conflicted emotions.
For years now, Sam Jackson has maintained that Mace Windu survived Revenge of the Sith, hoping at some point to reprise that function within the galaxy far, distant. Now a rumor from Twitter from a notable scooper claims that Jackson is in talks to return. However I am fearful that no matter that challenge could be will fail to be on the high quality stage that the character and Jackson each deserve.
The controversy about whether or not or not Mace Windu was alive has been happening for years now, so there is a a ton of hype and expectations surrounding any potential reprisal for Sam Jackson. And since Star Wars reveals have ranged in high quality through the years, I am hoping it extra Andor than The Acolyte.
The rumor about Sam Jackson’s potential return does not supply any clue as to what it could be. We do not know if there is a film, a voice efficiency in an an animated challenge, or perhaps a live-action TV spinoff within the works. So if its extra of a cameo or a fast episode of TV, then maybe the stakes aren’t fairly as excessive. But when Mace Windu is getting his personal challenge, I would like it to be nice.
Ewan McGregor’s return within the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV collection was strong, so there’s undoubtedly cause to consider that Lucasfilm might stick the touchdown. However there was an overarching story related to each the prequels and OG trilogy to tug from, together with a reunion with Darth Vader and younger Leia and Luke. If Mace Windu survived his seemingly deadly encounter with Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith, what got here subsequent is a complete thriller.
Solely time will inform if this rumor involves fruition, however Samuel L. Jackson’s ongoing ardour for his signature Star Wars character undoubtedly make sit really feel potential. That is the precise sort of pleasure that landed him a purple lightsaber when debuting as Grasp Mace Windu within the prequel trilogy.
It has been years since The Rise of Skywalker ended the Skywalker Saga, with the franchise solely rising on the large display. Whereas Lucasfilm introduced a brand new trilogy, the timeline of those initiatives is unclear. So who is aware of? Perhaps one in all them will embody Mace Windu.
The Star Wars franchise is streaming in its entirety on Disney+. Make sure to test the 2025 film launch dates to plan your journeys to the flicks within the New 12 months.
