Samuel L. Jackson’s Star Wars character may have met a tragic end in the prequel trilogy, but he doesn’t think it’s necessarily the end of the road for Mace Windu…

“I mean, there’s a long history of one-armed, one-handed people in the Star Wars universe,” the actor joked to Jimmy Fallon during an appearance onThe Tonight Show. “So, just ‘cause they cut my arm off and I fell out of a window, doesn’t mean I’m dead. I’m a Jedi! I’m the second-most powerful Jedi in the universe, next to Yoda. Yeah, he’s out there walking the Earth with Jules [from Pulp Fiction.]”

Mace Windu appeared in the Star Wars prequel trilogy before he met his end (or not…) at the hands of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) in Revenge of the Sith. Anakin slices off his hand before he can execute Darth Sidious before blasting him out of a window using the Force. As Jackson notes, Mace Windu is an extremely powerful Jedi, and he wields a unique purple lightsaber. As for Jules, he’s the hitman Jackson played in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, who worked alongside John Travolta’s Vincent.
