According to Samuel L. Jackson... Mace Windu Lives!

Jedi are hard to kill. Believe me. So many have narrowly avoided death in the Star Wars franchise. Obi-Wan avoided Order 66, as did Yoda, and a good handful of other Jedi. Anakin survived melting in lava, Luke survived a fall into the world's worst waterslide, and now Samuel L. Jackson wants us to believe, Mace Windu also lived. After all, all he lost was an arm and was thrown off a skyscraper. that's nothing. Right? At the Star Wars 40th anniversary panel at Star Wars Celebration, he had this to say:

"While you're all sitting there, I know you're all in my corner on this, we know Jedi can fall from incredible heights and survive. So, apparently, I am not dead! Yes, I have two appendages right now, but we know the long and rich history of Star Wars characters reappearing with new appendages and being stronger and better than they ever were. Mace Windu is awaiting his return. Let's make it happen."

Don't get me wrong, Windu is great, and he totally knows how to work a purple lightsaber. He was kind of a jerk to Anakin, but then again if I met Anakin, I wouldn't want them to learn to be a Jedi either.

I don't know how I feel about Windu surviving. I know it's all in good fun, but a part of me really believes Sam Jackson believes this with all his heart and thinks if we all clap and say I believe in Mace Windu, he will live again. He actually mentioned it last year as well, so he must be serious. George Lucas even said he was ok with it! So who knows. We haven't seen a force ghost of Mace, and as long as there's no ghost, then I guess anything could happen.
