What if mace windu lives

The Star Wars franchise had perhaps gone overboard of late in revealing more Jedi survived Order 66 than previously believed, but in Windu's case, it wouldn't require a huge suspension of disbelief. After all, the character would have good reason to will himself to stay alive through the Force and try to help as many young Jedi-in-training as possible in the wake of Sidious' rise to power, starting with Grogu.

His return could dovetail nicely into the story on The Mandalorian and serve as yet another reminder: falling down a deep hole rarely means the end in the Star Wars universe.

New Ms. In that same interview with EW, Jackson also revealed that he approached George Lucas with his theory. You can be alive. With support from both fans and creators, the return of Mace Windu could be just on the horizon. Since Samuel L. Jackson is enthusiastic about playing the character again and already has a working relationship with Disney after playing Nick Fury in the MCU, landing the right actor again shouldn't be a problem.

At this point, it's a question of when - not if - Mace Windu will show up again. Jackson's birthday, with the caption reading: "The party isn't over, it's just beginning!

There are different implications for Mace's return depending on which series he shows up in. Should the purple-sabered Jedi return in The Mandalorian , it's possible he might cross paths with Grogu - who very well could have met him previously on Coruscant.

If that's the case, viewers might be able to look forward to a chance encounter between Mace Windu and Luke Skywalker. Considering the fact that Luke and Mace have different understandings of the Jedi Order, as a result, they have two totally different styles of training.

If Mace Windu returned in The Mandalorian , there's an opportunity to explore just how much the ways of the Jedi have changed. It'd be fitting to see Mace Windu struggle with Luke's attempt to make a new Jedi Temple since Windu has literally and figuratively been out of the picture for so long that it might be hard for him to keep up with what Luke Skywalker is trying accomplish. Mace Windu surviving Revenge of the Sith and making his way back into the franchise could help bring the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies full circle.

Spurred by these comments, fans have spent the last few years debating whether the character is alive. However, the details we learned about Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian Chapter 13 make an even more convincing case for bringing back Windu. Think about it. However, after losing a hand and getting blasted with lightning, Windu was probably in no condition to fight.

So what did he do? Maybe he raced back to the Jedi temple and managed to rescue one extremely powerful Force user who could secure the future of the galaxy. Someone like Baby Yoda, who we now know was being trained at the temple during that time under his actual name, Grogu.

If Windu was the one to save Grogu only to lose the Child at some point over the three decades between Episode III and The Mandalorian , it'd make sense if he was the first to show up when Baby Yoda sends out a Jedi signal from Tython. And the sight of a grizzled old Windu would probably excite fans even more than the appearance of a middle-aged Luke Skywalker.
