Samuel L. Jackson Says He’d Like to Make His Own ‘Star Wars’ Spin-Off.
Samuel L. Jackson has hinted that he would be open to reprising the Mace Windu role in the Star Wars franchise.
In the most recent podcast episode of Happy Sad Confused, host Josh Horowitz inquired about a spin-off series from Jackson. The actor responded saying, “Definitely. There’s a huge history of people with one hand returning in the Star Wars franchise. The only person I’ve ever said that to about coming back was Bryce Dallas Howard, ’cause I just did a movie with her, and she directs episodes of The Mandalorian.”

He also told Howard what he said to him. “You think you might be able to hook a brother up? I mean, you like me, right? I’ll learn to lightsabre left-handed. Come on, hook me up.” Between 1999 and 2005, all three of the “prequel” Star Wars films featured Mace Windu. It was recently reported that Jackson would reprise his role as Mace Windu for Disney+.
