In 2005, Mace Windu joined the ever-growing ranks of Star Wars characters who lose a hand in battle. Unfortunately, the personality didn't are living long enough to get a groovy cybernetic alternative ... or is that just what the prequels want us to assume?

Whether or not Mace Windu survived the Star Wars prequels is a fandom-wide debate that, not like the persona, won't ever die.

It's technically canon that Mace Windu died in Revenge of the Sith after the force of Darth Sidious's lightning strike propelled the Jedi Master out of a window looking out over an excessively tall construction. It's broadly accredited that even a Jedi as professional and tactical as Mace couldn't have in all probability survived a fall from this type of great peak.

However, the "but we didn't see a body" side of the argument remains to be convinced, over two decades later, that he may have lived via the ordeal come what may. How precisely he may have survived and what he did together with his time after the truth is an issue of fanfiction.

Mace Windu's red lightsaber did not in truth imply anything else.

Losing Mace Windu in the prequels also intended the loss of his one-of-a-kind pink lightsaber. To nowadays, he is the only personality in Star Wars to wield a purple-bladed weapon of this type in a film or display set in a galaxy far, a long way away. But the color choice did not officially symbolize anything else in-universe.

Actually, the reason why Mace Windu's lightsaber is purple in Star Wars is quite simple: It's what Samuel L. Jackson sought after.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, the actor explained: "We had this big arena, this fight scene with all these Jedi and they’re fightin’ or whatever. And I was like ... I wanna be able to find myself in this big ol’ scene. So I said to George [Lucas], 'You think maybe I can get a purple lightsaber?'"

Ultimately, George mentioned sure.

While lovers have their theories about the true that means of a crimson lightsaber in Star Wars, the true origins of the blade are patently far easier.

Samuel L. Jackson really, really desires to be in 'Star Wars' once more.

There are some Star Wars actors who may have been happy to depart the franchise at the back of after their final films ended. Samuel L. Jackson is not certainly one of them.

The actor has mentioned again and again — as a result of everybody helps to keep asking him the similar question, to which he at all times has the same solution — that he can be open to playing Mace Windu in Star Wars once more.

He maximum just lately discussed his passion while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. He mentioned: “There’s an enormous historical past of other people with one hand returning in Star Wars." Why not him?

Because he's dead, Sam. That's why — if you do not subscribe to the theories pronouncing otherwise, that is.
