George: just pick, red or blue.
Samuel L. Jackson: both
Ohhh because they make purple
So is samuel L using the dark side or light side of the force?
@@dascrazy92 Both.
@@dascrazy92 He actually is in the EU, and maybe also in canon, he taps into the dark side of the force when fighting, that's what makes him both powerful and dangerous, but he managed to control himself from going to the dark side...

I loved how the lore behind the purple lightsaber became "A jedi master who's equipped with light and dark side abilities wields the purple lightsaber"
When originally it was "Hey I wanna find me in the big fight" lol
I thought that it was because Mace had visions of him having a special and stronger kind of weapon and then he went to some sort of village and he saved down people and wherever and learned some Jedi lesson and stuff and as a reward they gave him a special Crystal, giving out a stronger blade and a special color.
+Josue Guillen It doesn't matter because none of that is canon anymore
+Josue Guillen that's a "story" explanation, why he has one in the Star Wars universe, the thing he explained in this video is the real life reason
SeerSmashChannel He understands that. They're talking about the lore.
Cowley I know he's talking about the lore, that's what I meant by "story" explanation.
"I'm like the second baddest jedi in the galaxy...i want a purple lightsaber!"
Jeremiah Elijah The man George Lucas himself 😂
the first is OBVIOUSLY Yoda...
Darkasknight101 Q
You can make the case that Mace was first, he had Palpatine/Sidious beat whereas Yoda only fought him to a draw!
+Eben Paul I understand that point of view, but wouldn't you say Sidious was taking a huge risk, letting himself nearly get killed just to turn Anakin? Even with his foresight, can he be 100% certain that Anakin will turn? I just checked the novelization of SW3 and found no reference to your theory either, it implies Mace won through his Vaapad fighting style. So, would you say Yoda was stronger than Mace, or not?
Sam Jackson so badass, he gives away other people's shit.
And you know you'd let him.

Funny to see how fans & legends made so many theories about purple lightsabers when in reality it just came from Samuel Jackson being Samuel Jackson
Yeah well for immersive lore saying that he just wanted a purple one in reality isn't as fitting as lore made to fot in the universe.
@ The idea of purple as a lightsaber color existed before Sam asked Lucas about it, only now his and perhaps the guy from the new game are considered canonical though.
@@fiendwithoutaface6833 sam jackson basically made the grape sabee usable
Lightsabers colors are based on personalities.
There.
Well, I'm not sure if Lucas would've allowed it if he didn't have an idea of what it meant and given the first instances of the reason behind the purple lightstaber were books supervised by George, I'm pretty sure he at least influenced that.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Samuel was just like “yo, I wanna be in Star Wars” and George Lucas just went “yeah, ok”
He brought it up on a talk show once saying how he wanted to be in Star Wars. Lucas must have heard about it, and brought him over
The checks alone is worth doing a Star Wars film.
Of course. He is a big star. Anyone would cast him.
Tupac was originally considered to be Mace Windu, before his unfortunate demise. So you could say that provided Samuel Jackson with a... Windu of opportunity.

Why can i hear him say "did i stutter" so clearly?
“How did the purple lightsaber wielding jedi originated ?”
*Samuel wants a purple lightsaber*
Mace Windu's seen with a rare purple lightsaber, which could mean that he suffers from moral ambiguity as red (Sith/bad) and blue (Jedi/good) is literally purple.

The reality is it’s probably totally true
no probably about it, if it was verified that that is the one he held then the value went up like 1000% lol
i love how star wars experts say he has one because it means he’s mastered the light and dark side of the force while choosing to be good... but he just wanted a purple one
Trey Casey well that is sorta the lore to it
It’s the same with the green lightsaber, it was only added into return of the Jedi because it stood out better with the blue sky lol
Well yes, but actually yes!
General Grievous There is now but the real life reason was because green stood out better. The lore was added in after to cover for it.
Fergie the Manc yea because Luke’s blue lightsaber was too close to the same color as the sky on tatooine...

Take a seat, young Jackson.
I love how he is literally the exact opposite of Mace Windu but he still acted as him so well
I'm so glad he got to have a major role instead of just playing an extra or something. He did a fantastic job as Mace Windu.
I could not imagine Mace having any color other than purple honestly.
Me neither but he was apparently meant to have blue.
its thw magical grape flavored one
Jeremy Jackson I could see him with and emerald green idk why
Interestingly enough the Mace Windu action figure from the Phantom Menace line included a blue lightsaber because the purple blade had not yet been established.
In this old game made in 2002 the poster showed him wielding a blue lightsaber before the second film was made lol
"I'LL TOUCH IT'LL BE WORTH MORE!" Cracks me up every time 😂

I love how now there's massive lore around why lightsabres are purple all because Sam wanted to see himself in the Arena scene.

Well, not exactly massive lore
Adrian S no but it can lead to evolving the story and the world. Its the little things that make a world amazing. Most storys are already told, and in every way possible. So being original is really really hard. The next best thing is a world where everything fits and is worked out into the crazy details.
I rember the big debate of how spartans would go to the badroom when the first sletches of their armors went out. I also hate it when big space ships dont have sleeping spots, showers or toilets. Its just strange.
The brutal reality of film making not needing to be faithful to the book.
Just like how there's now an entire movie explaining how the Kessel run can be of different distances when it was just because Lucas didn't know what parsec meant.
“I’ll touch it. It’ll be worth more” lmao yes
Samuel L Jackson is so wholesome I love it
Theories : the purple lightsaber shows how mace windu balanced himself with the light and dark side
Reality: yo can I get a purple lightsaber by any chance
😂😂
yeah but this might be why George had to think about it.
Well in the film he did show his dark and light, the dark times he showed is when he killed jango and tried to killed palptean
That's the lore behind purple lightsabers

It’s funny how something so simple and trivial of a request has had such a big effect on Star Wars honestly. No one can forget that purple lightsaber, but not only that, it broke the trend of only 3 colors.
So thats how purple lightsabers came to be. Sam just wanted it purple.

That's the unofficial and actual history behind the purple lightsaber for Master Windu. Lucas then made up a Star Wars story for it, going like : Jedi swords are mostly blue and Sith swords are red. Windu wields his own Dark Side in combat so let's mix it up.
Purple. Boom.
+DrumFuckerFr yeah, that he has researched in the dark side, and can use it in combat, but still legit Jedi.
Weeb
+Leo Chong hardly a weeb
+DrumFuckerFr either way purple lightsabers are canon.
+DrumFuckerFr One problem with that idea. You get purple when you mix red and blue pigments. However, we're not painting here. We're talking about lightsabers. When you mix blue and red light, you get pink. (Or magenta to be precise)
Star Wars: Red, Blue Or Green?
Samuel: Purple.
Star Wars: That isn’t a option...
Samuel: ight ima head out
Nonono! Wait a minute! D:
No he was a jedi from the start why would George give him a red one
@Genericjokeinserthere: Samuel literally says that’s what George told him. “Lightsabers are green or red.” Watch the video.
Actually fun fact in one starwars game Mace had a Blue lightsaber instead of a purple one.
Also, in legends there are a very small number of jedi that have Red blades
Sam giving Sanda Bullock the lightsaber has to be one of the sweetest things I’ve seen (even if it technically wasn’t his)
"I’ll touch it, it’ll be worth more” got me dead LOL
Star Wars enthusiast: “Each lightsaber represents different types of Jedi. They are very unique”
Sam L Jackson: “I just wanted a purple one”
Funny thing is, Lucas even came up with a canon explanation for what the purple lightsaber represents. Moral ambiguity/affinity for both the Dark Side and Light Side. Which fits with Mace Windu's lightsaber form, Vapaad, as he uses it as a conduit for his darker emotions.
Unique to Mace Windu, isn’t it? 😂
@Bad Cattitude Now they finally found a way to explain it easy. Every Jedi gets his Kyber Crystal on Ilum and the colour just fits each jedi.
GEAUX TIGERS!

MrTheBMS One of them. Morgan Freeman.
IIRC many people were surprised to see Sam L Jackson as a calm and mindful Jedi considering most of his best movie work involves action and explosions. It’s good to see that he would have gladly played a stormtrooper (or in his case a clone) as long as he appeared in Star Wars.
And by wanting a Purple lightsaber just so he could identify himself in the Geonosis battle scene, he created so many theories as to how Mace Windu got that color of lightsaber so his impact won’t be forgotten.

Mace windu: am i a motherf***ing joke to you?
Also every jedi temple guard had one so it's not even that special
"By age fourteen, the Jedi Council was concerned with Windu, for even though he was at the top of his class, he still could not construct the lightsaber that came to him in visions multiple times. He informed the Council that he wanted a true challenge in order to find the best pieces for his lightsaber. After considering this, the Council sent Windu on his own to the world of Hurikane. While on this mission, Windu was at first chased away by the natives that resided there, but was easily able to resist them using the Force. When he caused one of the fragile natives to shatter, he sobered, and painstakingly restored it using the Force. Learning a valuable lesson about being a Jedi, then he was rewarded by the natives with a violet-colored special crystal. He used this crystal to construct the lightsaber he had seen in his visions and it produced its distinctive violet blade"

"The natives watched as Windu etched the words "Bad Motherfucker" onto his lightsaber hilt, giving it more power.
Thats false, the EU is non canon with star wars.
patar446 Canon is farely ambiguous when it comes to most things... In this case it would be something along the lines of: "Windu has a purple lightsaber because he has a purple lightsaber".
No, just no, that's boring.
patar446 i think it's the EU after episode 6 that is no longer canon not before the films
lawmundo When Disney bought LucadsFilm they made it so that the only things that are canon are, The Movies, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and a select FEW stories in the EU. But for the most part all of the EU and games are non-canon. I think Disney was smart to do this.
One of the best characters hollywood has ever seen, never change Samuel.
Samuel L. Jackson truly is the coolest guy on the planet, period!
I love how he knows his role in the movies had him as second to yoda... that’s nice
Actors usually do know which character they’re playing in a movie...
J T yea but a lot play up their character as bigger than they are.
J T
Obviously didn’t understand my comment did you
@J T
Actors of big nerd franchises like this usually hate the whole franchise, their character and dont care a lot about the whole universe, which is why later on in interviews they have no clue wtf they're talking about, just look at Harrison Ford ffs...
Big props to Sam.
@@juanme555 Harrison Ford does enjoy Indiana Jones tho. He doesn't hate star wars, he hates his own character. But just check out some interviews bout Indiana Jones, he does like the franchise
