Nerd fact: Samuel L. Jackson requested it to be purple.

Educate yourself, boy.

Mace Windu is one of the earliest named and created characters in Star Wars history, being the narrator of the original 1973 Star Wars drafts. [2] 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.

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". [3]

Also 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. Jackson, an avid Star Wars fan, especially wanted his own color so that his character could be easily spotted and recognizable amid all of the other Jedi. [3] This decision on Windu's lightsaber color may well have changed the idea of what a Jedi lightsaber should look like with regard to its color.

1st of all, you're quoting wikipedia; which if of itself is quite pathetic though generally accepted.

2nd of all, I already knew and that was a joke

So you're resorting to personally attacking a mod for a light-hearted joke?

why?

I've disabled your authorship privileges for 2 days because this is the first time I've seen you do anything like this. Let it be known I would have done the same with anybody else on Oppo.

Send me a reply to any of my messages on Thanksgiving day and I'll restore your authorship. Next time won't be as short.

Don't fret, we've collectively agreed to reinstate you...
Sorry for my overreacting but do try to be more diplomatic in your dealings and try not to take stuff too seriously.

As you saw here with me, it can lead to bad things.... Whether or not you care is up to you though, as I can't control that.

Be cool and keep posting!

No, I think you need to grow a thicker skin.Worse stuff than what I said is posted here every day. you just didn't like it because it was directed at you. In my opinion what you said is stereotypical and borderline racist, but did I call you out on in? No. I posted a bit of nerd knowledge, which you then referred to as "pathetic"Fine, whatever. But I'm not the only one that needs to watch it around here. Enjoy your power trip in this little corner of the internet. In case you can't tell I'm not interested in playing diplomacy games with you.

You don't need to be fine with it.

I didn't perceive it to be racist, as I happen to be black myself. And in any event, I didn't personally attack you directly.

And again, I didn't call the knowledge pathetic, to split hairs. I simply called the place from where you got the info pathetic.

Hey, Dusty! Ontop asked me to say goodby to you for him. This makes me sad.
