Samuel L. Jackson, Hayden Christiansen Surprise ‘Star Wars’ Screening

The group was strong on Friday in El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles.

star Wars Castmates Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson surprised the fans when they appeared at a special 20th anniversary screening Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

Christiansen first entered the stage in the historic Hollywood cinema while he had a red lightsaber and told the crowd that “he had so many amazing memories” to make the final star Wars Prequel, in which Anakin Skywalker hugs the dark side when he becomes Darth Vader and Palpatine helps in his hostile takeover of the Galactic Republic.

“I see a lot of light swords out here,” said Christensen to the audience. “I see many red lightsers who are honestly my personal favorite light color.”

He was then interrupted by the voice of an invisible visitor. “Wait, skywalker,” said Jackson off the stage. “This party is not even over.”

Christensen then presented his former Costar. “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the Mace Windu himself, Samuel L. Jackson.”

Jackson seemed enthusiastic about the thundering applause of the audience. “It’s like that, so great,” he said. “Twenty years later, I can hardly believe that we are still as popular – as we are – as we are. I haven’t seen Hayden for some time, but so happy to come back and see them all at the same time. Thank you very much. We had a great time in Australia.

The pulp Fiction Star then joked about the last scene for his star Wars The character, Jedi master Mace Windu, who brings his early end after trying unsuccessfully to arrest palatins and being thrown out of a window in Coruscant.

“I hope you enjoy the efforts that have got involved and watched almost all fight backwards with palpatins,” said Jackson. “In front of my unexpected exit. And for recording – Mace lives!”

This last quip returns to Jackson’s insistence that Windu could still return to a new one star Wars Project, although he explains: “He is not dead !!!” in Rich History in 2024.

Jackson has expressed interest in repeating the role of a Disney+ series, and his voice can be heard in an audio cameo as a Windus invisible spirit in 2019 The climb of Skywalker. But despite the frequency of resurrections within the star Wars Universum, Windu remains canonically dead – for the time being.

At the end of their appearance in El Capitan, Jackson and Christensen told the fans: “May the strength be with you.”

Christensen recently revealed that he will return to play Anakin again Ahsoka Season 2. He previously repeated the role in the first season of the show and in the 2022 series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
