The non-dead Sam Jackson is rolling over in his non-existent grave

by Peter Ha on February 9, 2008

This is for the hardcore Star Wars buffs in the audience. Do you notice anything wrong with this picture? No? How about the Jedi on the far left? Still not getting it? Well, you’re not much of a Star Wars fan then. Heh. See, the supposed Jedi on the left has a purple lightsaber and that’s a big no-no. Sam Jackson, who played by Mace Windu, personally requested a purple lightsaber, which Lucas obviously OK’d, to help distinguish his character from the rest of the Jedi masters. So, you see, the Jedi, and I use this term loosely, on the left is obviously a doof. What’s even more surprising is that the rest of the so-called Star Wars character actors have not informed him of his obvious indiscretion. Should any of you attend the event here in the City of Brotherly Love see this supposed Jedi, please do us all a favor and tell him to get his act together. Thanks.

Maybe he’s the white Windu?

If you read the books then you learn that there are other Jedi who have purple light sabers. I think Anakin Solo had one, before he died that is.

  Good to know, Ikuto. Never read the books, but there was a bit of signage around the FI and it stated that Jackson requested to have purple to be different. Thanks for the update and just in case, I never said I was hardcore, either.

I think this would be better if it had read “The un-dead Sam Jackson.”

As a different Samuel Jackson (Samuel A.B.) I am offended on behalf of the jedi-Sam Jackson.
