Samuel Jackson asking George Lucas for a Purple Lightsaber

The exact moment Samuel L. Jackson asked George Lucas for a purple lightsaber is on camera and I’ve never seen it?? I’m overwhelmed

[captaintaco]

Sam L. Jackson is so cool he changes Star Wars canon so he can get his favourite colour in the movie

[thesandwich]

"You might get purple..."
**WACE MINDU INTENSIFIES**

[Rampagelil]

That child-like smile at the end. Like, "Yo, George Lucas just gave me a lightsaber"

[ryannagel]

The music fits perfectly with his reaction.

[absolutecarnage]

I love how this one interaction lead to there being a rainbow of lightsaber colors.

[GitSumGaming]

George Lucas was prob like: "...hmmm...more than 3 colors...that might work"

[jmp_fr]

he's so happy! look at his face. brings me pure joy.

[officialnezquick]

Why hasn’t his face at the end become a meme yet?

[Captainbadger]

Gotta love how he listens to what the actors have to say

[davelo]

Then George Lucus went on to write in Canon that Purple Lighsabers are for Masters who know how to use the Light and Dark side of the force in complete balance, similar to Grey force users

[NXC]

Always wondered what that interaction looked like 😁

[MeetMyYeet]

He changed the entire Star Wars lightsaber lore just because he wanted his favorite color

[kobeone]

And at that moment, history was made.

[Nephrite_Harmony]

he hesitated for a bit, he was about to say no

[ADTribalChild]

"You might get purple"
"Sheee'it, George, that's all you have to say!"

[SirFloofy]

Im glad they did it. Doesn't break cannon so much as emphasize Mace Windu's unique character.

[Captainball]

And was born several novels, games, and wiki articles. Sam like the color purple...

[fabisayshi]

Dat smile tho, sammy knew what he was doing

[killerkuerbis]

"That's just how it works"

Bravo George

[ThreeSkullOrthodox]

Lucas: That’s just how it works.

Jackson: But what if it didn’t though?

Lucas: 😳
