Mace Windu may have met a gruesome end in the last of the Star Wars prequels, but that doesn't mean much to the man who played him.
"Yeah, I'd love to be a part of that," Samuel L Jackson has told The Independent when asked about Disney's planned Star Wars sequels. "I think it'd help people come back to the franchise, to have some familiar characters before they start introducing all the new ones."
Windu's death in Revenge Of The Sith was fairly unambiguous — he had his hand cut off by Anakin Skywalker and fell out of a window — but Jackson doesn't think he'd have to play a ghost in the new films.
"I don't know why I'd have to be a ghost," he said, seemingly taken aback by the question. "I'm a Jedi! I fell out of a window and they took my hand off. I could show up as a one-handed Jedi — alive!"
Jackson appears in Django Unchained, out January 24 in Australia. Star Wars Episode VII will be released in 2015, with or without Jackson.
