Samuel L. Jackson would return for Mace Windu series because the Jedi Master is “not dead!”
Samuel L. Jackson would return for a Mace Windu series on Disney+, because he maintains that the Jedi Master is “not dead!”
BY KEVIN FRASER
FEBRUARY 12TH 2024, 7:08PM
Move over, Nick Fury, it’s Mace Windu’s time to shine! At least, that’s what would happen if Samuel L. Jackson had anything to do with it. Jackson first played Mace Windu in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, but unfortunately, the Jedi Master met his end in Revenge of the Sith after his hand was sliced off by Anakin and he was flung out of a window by Palpatine’s Force lightning. However, Jackson is confident that Mace Windu didn’t die and would jump at the chance to return for a series on Disney+.
While speaking with Empire for their issue celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Samuel L. Jackson had just one thing to say about Mace Windu’s supposed demise: “HE’S NOT DEAD!!!” Aside from a brief voice appearance in The Rise of Skywalker, Mace Windu hasn’t come back from the dead, but when asked if he would want to do a Mace Windu series for Disney+, Jackson said: “EVERYTHING YES!!“
Jackson has always maintained that Mace Windu didn’t die in Revenge of the Sith, and to be fair, if Darth Maul could survive being sliced in half and falling down a shaft, I’d wager that Windu could survive losing a hand and falling off a building. Dude’s a Jedi Master, after all.
Samuel L. Jackson can currently be seen in Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle, which stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Elly Conway, a reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books — which center on secret agent Argylle (Henry Cavill) and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate — begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Sam Rockwell also stars as Aiden, a cat-allergic spy who races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur. You can check out a review from our own Chris Bumbray right here.

I will chip in a simple pitch, I am timing myself,
it is now 12:00 est
I started making this post before none.
Mace Windu was thrown out of a window with emperor electric bolt thing way way above the ground floor on coruscant. so...
What is Mace Windu is in a coma. Found by someone on coruscant lower depths, not richbut noticed he was a jedi. What if windu's spirit is still active, even though his bady is in some hibernative state, remember windu studied the dark side of the force.
so s a student of both sides, light and dark, he finds himself in a unique spirit world where he can sense old students of the force who studied both and the goal is to stop these old souls who want to end the jedi + sith by killing children with the force in the womb of something.
It is 12:07
what do you think?:)

@ProfD add no elected officials have offered a policy as well, don't just say the black populace which is again very large and is not tiny, over forty million people don't have consensus in the usa, yes white jews, but again they are far smaller, but not italians, not german americans, not dos black americans , not chinese americans. No group a certain size has a consensus. So your correct the black populace in the usa hasn't made a consensus and produced a plan to elected officials, but neither has similar sized populaces under the same government. While also add, black elected officials haven't developed a policy. It isn't like black elected officials need to be told the black populace in the usa has needs.
and yes, all in the usa have been voting for lesser than two evils since the 1960s. whereas black people never had anything other since the end of the war between the states.
lastly, get out there profd, you said you think so highly of the usa, get your name on a ballot. I don't think highly of the usa. you do.

THE BLACK PLANET POST
Soulsonsix < https://blackplanet.com/Soulsonsix > said
The Nevada primary and caucus was a perfect example of life imitating art. Nikki Haley's embarrassing second place finish to "no one" makes it clear that we have generational critical thinking challenges ahead.
I replied
well, I see your argument. That this event shows an immaturity. But I argue it shows an honesty. In the film , the art, Does BRewter's none of the above win? no. it doesn't remember, Brewster's name is on the ticket and he is winning, even though he is telling people to vote for none of the above on his two opponents plus himself, the people vote for him. why? because his simple straightforward campaign was honest, the available candidates, two opponents plus himself have no plan to improve the lives of the voters. I think it makes sense. In the art, brewster jumped out the race and then none of the above won. But the point is clear, say the government's policies are doing nothing and you will get support when the government's policies are poor. Trying to convince voters your policies are quality shouldn't be needed if your pollcies are quality, while convincing voters policies are crap is quite easy when they are crap. Haley who has been in government for a long time, like the others, has no policy quality and thus the results. SChrumpt said he wanted to shake things up, he does that. He said the others are all hacks, he is right. Biden/Obama/Bushes et cetera all talk a lot but produce nothing the masses can say helps them really. Is healthcare affordable? no. are jobs everywhere? no. is the black community being aided? no. Are women being given more avenues to grow? no. are white twons being rejuvenated? no. is the christian lifestyle being supported? no. Both parties have failed policy for all but the one percent. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10829-the-truth-of-voting/

Last night a combined one thousand three hundred and fourteen (1,314) people voted for the seventy seventh (77) state assembly district which is in a region of the borough called the bronx. One thousand and twenty six (1,026) voted for Landon Dais whose wife is from the bronx, he is from harlem. while two hundred and eighty eight (288) voted for Norman McGill who is the president of a project building association. In the district , forty eight thousand (48,000) people are registered as party of andrew jackson (POAJ) members while two thousand (2,000) people are registered as Party of Abraham Lincoln (POAL) members. The district's populace is One hundred and thirty five thousand and five hundred and twenty two (135,522) people. So Dais won a third of a tenth of the rdonkeys voting populace. McGill won a tenth of the elephants voting populace.
So, less than one percent of the district's populace voted. Now the district is sixty six (66) percent latin american any phenotype, while thirty three (33) percent Black any language or geographic base which means the Black vote isn't the issue here.
The majority of voters in the region are not black , where are the calls to rock the vote. I recall for years black people made a scene and many speeches arguing black people need to rock the vote, but we don't even have the majority vote in the region. Why don't the black people who pestered other black people about voting pester the latin american of any phenotype?
But the issue here is voting is a market action. You get votes and return policy. If policy is not returned you don't get votes. The problem here is neither party returns policy, so they get no votes.
This goes back to my post earlier of none of the above.
I have read or heard so many Black people speak of none of the above as stupid or ignorant but it makes perfect sense. More votes come with quality policy. if the policy is poor, the votes come less and less. This is not foolish or stupid, this is common sense. Schrumpt's campaign has always been simple, the whole government is failing. This is an easy campaign slogan but it works because of the lack of return of policy. No group, whtes/blacks/women/native americans/asians/catholics outside financially wealthy can say the elected representatives who are in their group produce policy they want: to make their lives better or strengthen their culture. So, since one percent are the wealthy, you get fewer and fewer votes from the 99%.
I repeat , in south africa, black people voted near 100% when mandela was first elected. why is it 30% now? The people who voted then are still alive. what happened? Very simple, the people who got elected including mandela himself didn't make policies which made the voting bodies lives better or strengthen their culture. So the majorty of the voting body quit voting, common sense. I sign of true maturity. Voting for voting sake is one of the most mentally unstable things you can do.

I define black americans in this post as black people from canada to argentina whose forebears were mostly enslaved in the usa from the 1500s to 1800s. Very specific so no not, black people from africa or asia as free immigrants today.
Now I realize i am very late with this question. But I know that the black populaces of guyana/suriname/french guiana/brazil/venezuela/ecuador all have carnavals. And the black populace of north america has mardi gras. The black communities in haiti/martinique/trinidad all have carnavals. so, while the black american populace has internal difference in language[english , french , portuguese]/religion[traditional/catholic/protestant]/governance [like marooons in northern south america who live on essentially reservations from a usa legal position]/lifestyle[country folk like in dominica, heavily urbanized as in the usa]
Nothing binds the continental black american populace heritage wise except Carnaval.
I don't have proof but am I wrong?

@Pioneer1 well remember, one thing, the term excommunicado has become more used today for a certain film series but the term for most of the last five centuries was used for those deemed incorrect by christian churches. People who in my view, committed no crime nor warranted the status. And this is what the gnostic movement was originally about. It's earliest incarnation was about the ability to think freely. This is why in china, and parts around in asia, people from the european phsilosophical structure, have problems or think their philosophies are hard. They are not. the problem is that in the white european controlled part of humanity, being enslaved to a set of thinking is considered common. But in that part of white asian controlled part of humanity, someone can be a follower of a branch of taoism + a branch of confucianism + a branch of christianity and it is acceptable.
As I say in this very online community, the history of the black populace in the usa is full of various philosophies. All black people want black betterment but they do not fit into one philosophical box and black people who can't accept that are true problems in the populace.
The fear tactics primary goal is to get a one mindedness which I find funny people argue against religion for when when one mindedness is sought by more than religious groups, scholarly groups like colleges or universities do it I aruge more than religions, especially in the usa, , governmental groups like parties of governance do it most bluntly or crudely. cultural groups like the black panthers or kkk or naacp do it most dysfunctionally.
To be blunt, when someone in the usa uses the word "We" referring to all people in the usa, that is the same one mindedness littered in christian/muslim/jewish/many religions or spiritualities [they are not the same]history. Who is we in the usa? I heard native americans say they are not american. Are they wrong? Who is we? Were the black people who left the usa in relatively large groups in the past wrong? who is we? Does this mean a native american who is currently in elected office in the house is wrong to say they are a proud american? no. but the native american isn't wrong either. Both can be right. And that is the open mindedness that is lacking in the usa or greater whit eeuropean led part of humanity, but that makes sense cause said part main defining point is slavery. The person excommunicated from a christian church is usually an individual. Who is we?
Yes, Pioneer, it is more who wants to be alone. Loneliness is a powerful negative. Nobody wants to be completely alone. When you have people speaking for everyone in the group, when black individuals speak for all black people and say all black people in the usa are american, when the wealthy white suburban woman speaks for all woman and says every woman wants the right to choose, when a Christian says all Christians obey some law set, they are speaking the same language. If you don't do this then you are not in this group, you are alone. And because of the past, many people were raised supporting this boxed mindset. And again, most humans don't want to be alone, more than any conscious tugging.

well when I say black or white or mulatto I am not speaking of a geographic distinction. I am speaking of a phenotypical range of skin. not chracter, not age or anything but skin.
So, white latinos/white muslims/white women/white asians/yes white africans <I have seen some in africa and not the damn white europeans like theron in south africa>/yes white europeans all exist in a shade of skin.
White asians generally are in china/korea/japan/northern india
now who are the black asians . southern india/parts of malaysia/indonesia/phillipines/australia/new guinea. The indegenous people from indonesia south to australia are all black.
And yes, like many north africans like many latinos in the caribbean , many in south asia are mulatto for obvious reasons. It is well known that chinese long before the white european imperial age went into south asa and interbreeded. Just like white europeans interbreeded into north africa for so long that the mulatto is the most common so in south asia.
Now I want to say, this is my view. I ask none to embrace it. I am not a preacher nor do i like proselytizing. I am jsut stating how i see things in this public black forum

Well, in your opinion it is mutually beneficial. I can easily argue the usa's manipulations and guidance of Japan+r israel are only beneficial to the usa.
But the reason white jews or japanese are mentioned is because of what the usa government gave them. But my point is that the black DOS populace which is over 40 million people is of an uncomparable scale to the white jew who is 8 million or the japanese in the usa who are a million.
I will restate , if the Black DOS populace was 8 million like the white jew or one million like the japanese I think profd you will see an entirely positive financial community that already received reparations suitable to your desires.
But, a whole lot more DOSers exist in the usa than 8 million or 1 million.
More people in any populace mean consensus is harder in that populace, and consensus is necessary when a communal goal like reparations is in the works.
And I end with , you have stated you have a view of the usa far more positive than me. so that creates variances in how we see the road of black people in the usa or the relationship of black people in the usa to its federal government or its whites. But, the oldest heritage for black people in the usa is internal disunity concerning the usa. I repeat most free blacks fought against the government you think so highly of to be born. I think the black populace in the sua has always had alot of internal variance or little consensus concerning the usa.

@ProfD remember, ISrael + japan serve a militaristic purpose for the usa. That is the reason the usa made israel, and yes, the usa made israel not the white jews, and why the usa continue to finance israel,the first base for the usa in the oil rich area called the middle east, and the usa funded japan only to stop russia from winning japan which was bound to happen unless the usa's money stepped in and then later as an agent for east asia which has military rivals: china+ russia.

@Pioneer1 well at its heart i think that is what gnosticism is. Gnosticism is an interpretation of christianity. In the same way sufi is an interpretation of islam.
Now in defense most religious interpretations in the usa tend to be orthodox meaning the right way which means inflexible, and to your point.

thank you @ProfD
good point, the usa government did give something. I think it was easier by scale again. If the usa is over 300 million then one percent is 3 million at the short end, and white jews represent less than 3% of the populace today, far less in the 1900s. The black populace in the usa has always been in the 30% range with a much longer list of grievances than white jews or the japanese. Your 100% correct the federal government gave something. But I think it is more doable. I think this is why reparations for native americans like Blacks, is also a higher challenge than for white jews or japanese.
Question does the british government owe reparations to DOS for the time before the USA's founding?
IN AMENDMENT
DO you think alot of the usa federal government? When I mean alot i mean, you think it is very powerful? I know it may sound silly to ask this as I know the usa militaristic power. No other government in humanity has a more powerful army, which to me is real power, not money. But, your prose made me wonder, if you see the usa federal government as stronger than I do.

@ProfD well, let's be scaled, two reasons why White Jews have maintained a communal structure in their populace in the usa are the elephants in the room about the black populace in the usa.
1st and for me most important. The white jewish populace is small. Remember white jews are significantly smaller than white christian italians/white chrsitian germans/white crhsitian irish/white christian russians even. Not to mention white asians, white latinos. White jews are one of the smallest populaces which is why they have aneasier time growing. Guess what group makes up the majority of poor white trahs. it is White christian germans. German americans are circa 50 million english americans are circa 50 million, italian americans are circa 18 million, white jews are circa 8 million so 10% of german americans and less than 10% of the white populace as a whole. very small. Black Americans are circa 50 million so it is even to compare black americans to white christian germans not white jews. Comparing populaces of extremely different size is not balanced. I think a better comparison to white jews is not blacks but black elephants/republicans. Both white jews or black republicans are an extreme minority in the white or black populace respectively and i think black republicans tend to have a very high financial footprint in comparison to the larger black populace in the same way white jews have in comparison to the larger white populace. So population matters and being small is advantageous in the usa. Japanese americans i argue are the most financially able of asian americans but again, are one of the smallest populaces of asian americans. the hordes of poor chinese will never be rich and will never close the gap to give chinese americans the same financial footprint as japanese americans. The cuban american populace doesn't even represent a tenth of the mexican. so again, the financial footprint is always going to be better for cubans than mexicans. Quantity matters. So when the purple gang was the most profitable gang during prohibition , running out of detroit which borders canada that never illegalized drink, that money went into a very small populace of the usa, that being white jews. SoI end this point with a more even comparison. Black republicans relationship to the larger black populace is equivalent to the populace of white jews to the white populace.
2nd and the white jewish community in nyc is the proof of what i am about to say. The control + infuence of the religious orthodox white jewish tribe in the white jewish community is unlike any other tribe in another populace. white German americans don't dictate to all white americans. Chinese don't dictate to all asian americans. Mexicans don't dictate to all latino american americans. White women don't dictate to all female americans. But the orthodox jewish tribe in the white jewish community have large and I argue dominating influence on liberal jews or other jewish tribes. I will be blunt, the orthodox religious white jewish community in nyc is able to be supported enough by jews who even oppose them to get away with abusing other jews. The black christian community used to have a similar role in the black populace which made a communal structure, but the black christian tribe failed the larger black populace and thus its influence waned.
But it isn't that black elected officials have bought into the system. It was always their goal. It isn't buying into. It is what they feel is best. Remember, Frederick DOuglass is the father of black elected officials in the usa, nearly all of them took their cues from him.
I quote @Troy to explain.
QuoteBlack people have always been treated more harshly by the criminal justice system.
Troy didn't say what I will say, the white criminal justice system, he said the criminal justice system. That wordage goes back to Frederick Douglass who believed in the usa. He believed the usa was for all the people in it regardless of their individual or communal relationship. Douglass believe the sysem in the usa is for all in it. I don't concur to douglass but i comprehend that is his position and black elected representatives from the south carolina legislative majority to obama side eric adams are usually in Douglass philosophical sphere. They don't make policy for black people or feel an obligation to a black agenda, they are for the usa in its entirety. The goal is to be aracial, to have all populaces integrated from their policies.
and to your point @Pioneer1 the black republicans are the oldest black elected representative class and they have never deemed themselves as sellouts even though their planning didn't protect black people before or during jim crow. They do look out for themselves individually which is what nearly all elected representatives do. If poor whites in the usa had representatives geared to them today would not be today in the usa. You mention logic but I argue it is heritage. The goal is the key. As Black people in this very online community show, we all want better for black people but the variances is in the details of the goals which are not the same , the heritages we honor which are not the same. The heritages the black republicans honor isn't nat turner's black militanism or exodusters segregation or marcus garvey nationalism, they honor frederick douglass's integration which at its core is black betterment as part of a multiracial whole, sequentially rejecting black above the non black or black centric positions.

We both know, gardless of who likes it, The federal government of the usa today can take the lead. Said federal government has the resources. The problem is the complexities of reparations make it , like immigration in all earnest, a hard policy to see through. The federal government of the usa was never designed to be the force of power in the usa that i think many blacks want it to be. The constitution clearly sees the federal government as primarily a protector of the states, but not a guide to the states, and that legal reality makes it hard.
Interesting how you speak of the black populace in the usa, making a deal with each state after the federal government's move. the black populace in the usa isn't a community.

@Pioneer1good points, i think many groups in the gnostic movement, the original and the second thought as you do, they didn't feel logical thinking was areligious .
The truth of voting
in Culture, Race & Economy
@ProfD I am not suggesting fiscally wealthier influencers are not about. They are 100% but the truth is, no one is stopping elected officials from acting away from then.
An example, A man in NY state, a white man , called conqlin , used to control an organization that basically controlled all the shipping in the usa. He was huge in getting president harrison elected. Now as the legend goes, it could be all false , how can anyone know truth from the 1800s, conqlin went into harrison's office with a plan and harrison said no. Conqlin was one of te most powerful men in the usa at that time. My point, historical precedent exist for elected officials to go against their financial aid in the usa. Not common but not unheard of so elected officials can't say today,it never happened before, that is a lie. And then to my point, make the policy.
you use the term smart people, who are the black smart people? please define them. Cause I think many people are smart. I don't think we define smart people the same.
any person can be an agent of the people. and in the usa there is a separation of church and state legally. Elected positions are not set for those who are lawyers or busines people or preachers. Elected offices are open to musicans in the usa. Donald Schrumpf is not a business man, a white man in local nyc tv said that who works for banks. He called donald schrumpf a saleman. I call schrumpt an honest charlatan. The governments in humanity need more musicians. go for it!
