Ewan McGregor Doesn't Think Mace Windu Could Have Survived His Fall
Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor recently revealed that he does not think that Jedi Master Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) could have survived his fall in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. McGregor will reprise his role as Jedi Master Kenobi in the upcoming Disney+ television series that is set to debut on the streaming service May 27. Set 10 years after the the fall of the Galactic Republic, Obi-Wan Kenobi will introduce new characters to the Star Wars franchise such as Reva the Third Sister (Moses Ingram) and Haja (Kumail Nanjiani) the street thief. But due to the series' connections with the prequel trilogy, many cameos from previously established characters are expected.
Nearing the climax of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, the final film of George Lucas' prequel trilogy, Windu confronts Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) and accuses him of treason against the Galactic Republic and of being the Sith Lord orchestrating the Clone Wars. Before Windu could execute Palpatine, however, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) protects the Chancellor by cutting of Windu's hand before Palpatine thrusts Windu out a high-rise window with Force lightning. The Jedi Master then falls thousands of feet, presumably to his death, in the depths of Coruscant below. And yet, other Star Wars character who were presumed dead have since reappeared. Boba Fett, for example, made just such a reentry in The Mandalorian season 2.
