Bryce Dallas Howard says she's discussed Samuel L. Jackson's potential #StarWars return with Dave Filoni!
"Sam Jackson has been incredibly supportive of me and has told me many times that he would act in something that I directed, which is, like, I'm not worthy, basically."
Howard then revealed that, after Jackson told her that, she "went straight to Dave Filoni" and asked if there was any way Mace Windu could be incorporated into a Star Wars project she would be directing, echoing fans by questioning if Jackson's character is really dead in the Star Wars universe:
"And then I went straight to Dave Filoni and I was like, 'So, let's just talk about Mace Windu and where he is. Can we just talk about this? Because, is he dead? Is he?'"
Ironically, Jackson himself sat with Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast three years before Howard to talk about the same exact topic, and even mentioned the conversation Howard was alluding to.
In that interview, Jackson reiterated what he had been telling everyone else:
"Definitely. There’s a huge history of people with one hand returning in Star Wars… The only person I’ve ever said that to about coming back was Bryce Dallas Howard, ’cause I just did a movie with her. And she directs episodes of 'The Mandalorian,' so, 'You think you might be able to hook a brother up? I mean you like me, right?' She’s like, 'I love you, you’re amazing!' So, 'Put me back in there… Put me in coach, I’m ready!' You know, I’ll learn to lightsaber left-handed. Come on, hook me up."
