The official Instagram account for Star Wars recently posted a picture of Samuel L. Jackson in costume as Mace Windu to celebrate the actor’s birthday, with a not too cryptic message that teases his return.
Fans have for long campaigned to bring the Jedi Master back to the canon of the galaxy far, far away after his untimely death at the hands of Palpatine during the events of Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. In fact, a lot of them had hoped that Windu would finally make a comeback in The Mandalorian Season 2, since Ahsoka briefly hinted at the existence of other Jedi in the world. While that particular light-side warrior turned out to be another Star Wars icon, we can’t help but wonder if the House of Mouse has plans to resurrect Jackson’s character amid their massive lineup of future TV shows and films, most of which were announced during Disney Investor Day a couple of weeks ago.
Now, the franchise’s official Instagram page has got fans buzzing with excitement again after posting a picture of Windu in his Jedi Robes, writing: “The party isn’t over, it’s just beginning! Sending a very happy birthday to Samuel L. Jackson.”
As far as subtle callbacks or ambiguous teasers go, the folks at Lucasfilm didn’t exactly mince words on this particular matter. So, now that many legacy characters have made a return, namely Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan Kryze, Boba Fett, and The Last Jedi himself Luke Skywalker, would it be so strange to hear that Disney is planning to reintroduce Mace Windu given all the hype still surrounding his character?
We can only hope, but as diehard enthusiasts have pointed time and again, the legendary Jedi Master could’ve easily survived his fall via the Force, so there’s that. What do you think about this, though? Would you like to see the Pulp Fiction star reprise his role as General Windu in future Star Wars projects? Sound off below.
