The (alleged?) death of Jedi Master Mace Windu in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is apparently exaggerated, as Samuel L. Jackson himself says "HE'S NOT DEAD!!!" - whether this is a classic case of no-body-no-death or just an overenthusiastic actor is still up for debate.
In a recent interview, the celebrated actor ignited speculation about the fate of Mace Windu after his duel with Senator Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker. Jackson boldly asserted that the Jedi Master with a purple-hued lightsaber is still alive somewhere in the galaxy far, far away.
Jackson passionately expressed his fervent desire for the revered Jedi Master to lead his own Disney+ TV series. The actor's enthusiasm reached its peak when asked about a potential Mace Windu series like 2022's Obi-Wan Kenobi (which starred Ewan McGregor), as he declared, "Everything yes!!
The pivotal scene from Revenge of the Sith, where Windu confronts Palpatine, features a lightsaber duel resulting in Windu's hand being severed by the corrupted Anakin Skywalker. Despite the apparent fatal conclusion with Palpatine's powerful burst of lightning, the absence of a definitive on-screen death has left room for theories and fueled discussions among Star Wars fans.
