Mace Windu
Mace Windu is a fictional character in the ''Star Wars'' universe, portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the prequel films and voiced by voice-actor Terrence C. Carson in other projects. A Jedi Master of the High Council and one of the last members of the order's upper echelons before the Galactic Republic's fall, he is the Council's primary liaison but the Clone Wars caused him to question his most firmly held beliefs. ==Character conception and overview== Several early incarnations of the character have been developed in the original ''Star Wars'' drafts as the narrator, Princess Leia's brother and Luke Skywalker's friend.〔''The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film''〕 Through the process of redrafting and copyediting, his character was removed from the original trilogy (''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'', ''Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'') but was reintroduced in 1994 when series creator George Lucas began writing the prequel trilogy. Tupac Shakur was set to audition for this role, but was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996.〔http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/01/george-lucas-wanted-tupac-to-play-mace-windu-in-star-wars-episode-i/〕 The search for an actor to play the character ended when Samuel L. Jackson expressed his desire to be in the prequel films. Lucas then offered him the role which Jackson accepted and thus signed on but with certain stipulations on his character's portrayal. Aware that the prequel trilogy's climax would eventually call for Windu's death, one of the conditions was that his character die in a spectacular fashion, rather than being killed off ingloriously "like some punk".〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000168/bio〕 According to an interview on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' on May 13, 2005, the character's purple lightsaber was a personal request from Jackson to Lucas as a quid pro quo for appearing in the films, as well as a way of making the character unique and easily distinguishable.〔
