Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all saw Mace Windu get electrified back in Revenge of the Sith, and yes, for all intents and purposes, he is no more. But if there's one thing that we learned from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it's that you have to get up pretty early in the morning to kill Samuel L. Jackson. Even if you literally see his corpse sprawled out on a table and he's not breathing anymore, you should still probably be watching your back, because he's been known to come back from that sort of thing. There's nothing saying that Mace Windu couldn't have faked his own death and laid low for a few decades, just like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi did. In fact, that sounds exactly like something Mace Windu would do. But if you're still not sold on the idea of Mace Windu secretly being alive, there's always the option of having him appear in spirit form. We're sure that Qui-Gon Jinn taught him that trick up in Jedi heaven. Is this just wishful thinking, us hoping for Samuel L. Jackson to finally get the screen time he deserves in the Star Wars franchise? Well, duh. But that doesn't mean it absolutely, 100% couldn't happen, right? Which other supporting Star Wars characters do you want to see returning in Episode 7? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
