Hayden Christensen recently reacted to Samuel L. Jackson’s continued claim that Mace Windu survived that fall in Revenge of the Sith, and he is supporting Samuel L. Jackson’s Star Wars theory that Jedi Master Mace Windu survived the events of Episode III. He recently made his successful return to the role of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Established 10 years after the fall of the Galactic Republic, the series begins with Ewan McGregor’s Jedi Master as he attempts to restrain his past and present. Obi-Wan Kenobi brings out many relations to the prequel trilogy and everything that was missed as a result of Anakin’s turn to the dark side.
Hayden Christensen on Mace Windu’s Survival Theory
Back then, Anakin pledges himself to the would-be Emperor in Revenge of the Sith, he uncovers to Mace Windu that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Mace Windu then opposes Palpatine and agrees to kill him, as “he’s too dangerous to be kept alive.” Since the implementation is not the Jedi way, Anakin saves the Chancellor by severing Mace Windu’s hand before the Sith Lord jabs him out a window with Force Lightning. Following this, it was assumed that the Jedi Master fell to his death.

But, Ewan McGregor speculates Mace Windu is dead, pointing out that it’d be impossible to survive that fall on Coruscant. But under the hypocrisy that anything can happen in the galaxy far, far away, and if anyone could survive, it’d be one of the most important characters Jedi who ever lived. George Lucas also supported Samuel L. Jackson’s future return to the universe, which is something fans very excited to see. Other characters who were assumed deceased have been reawakened on big screens.
The Original series started streaming on May 27, only on Disney+.
