Star Wars: Hayden Christensen On Jackson's Mace Windu Survival Theory
Hayden Christensen supports Samuel L. Jackson’s Star Wars theory that Jedi Master Mace Windu survived the events of Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Christensen recently made his triumphant return to the role of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Set 10 years after the fall of the Galactic Republic, the series follows Ewan McGregor’s Jedi Master as he tries to reconcile his past and present. Obi-Wan Kenobi draws many connections to the prequel trilogy and everything that was lost as a result of Anakin’s turn to the dark side.
Before Anakin pledges himself to the would-be Emperor in Revenge of the Sith, he reveals to Windu that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Windu then confronts Palpatine and decides to execute him, as “he’s too dangerous to be kept alive.” Since execution is not the Jedi way (and he “needs him”), Anakin protects the Chancellor by severing Windu’s hand before the Sith Lord thrusts the him out a high-rise window with Force Lightning. Since Windu has never been seen again, it was presumed that the Jedi Master fell to his death.
