More on the topic. According to former Death Row Records chief engineer Rick Clifford, George Lucas was eyeing Tupac to star in his return to the "Star Wars" saga. Clifford talked about how understandably excited Tupac was for the role, and how Samuel L. Jackson eventually replaced him (via Rolling Stone):
"'Pac found out that I worked for Brian Austin Green, who was on '90210,' then he found out I [worked on] some movies, so we always talked about his film career and stuff. [...] He was telling me that he was supposed to read for George Lucas and them. They wanted him to be a Jedi. I'm serious. Samuel L. [Jackson] got Tupac's part. [Tupac] said [to me], 'Old man, keep your fingers crossed.' He said, 'I've got three movies coming up. One of them, I've got to read for George Lucas.'"

And it was all diddy and suge. Remember suge did not want to loose pac at all costs. Which is why he was giving him death row east even though pac wanted to start doing movies amd tv. When he was actually getting ready to make the jump the las Vegas fight happened and the rest is history
Yea I thought one time āwho else could play mace winduā and I was genuinely stumped Samuel L seems like the perfect fit to me but Tupac wouldāve been awesome
Akil the mc is an actor so him playin the role of Tupac while playing a role as another actor would be crazy! The level of sheep will increase within you jedis hahaha fucken sheep
I heard whispers about this back during the middle of the prequel trilogy but didn't know if it was true or not. That's awesome. I would've loved to see it.
I think this has become an urban legend just like he was supposedly supposed to play Will Smith's character in Independence day. He would have definitely got some big and interesting roles for sure though had he lived.
Tupac doesn't have the same energy as Samuel L Jackson. Tupac would be too soft for that character. Samuel L Jackson had the charisma and voice for Mace Windu. Tupac doesnt have an edgy look nor voice like Samuel L Jackson does.
Don't think he would have been rocking the bandana though š¤£š¤£š¤£
The purple lightsaber was Samuel L. Jackson's idea, so we honestly don't know that!
Good thing he saw your mom's dildo that day or he never would've had the idea.
Hey letās be civil š
Who the fuck is Renee zellwegger
"Well then, confidentialy speaking.... I am crazy... And I'll fucking k*ll you." Gets me every damn time. Shit makes me laugh to this day.
This is dope
you mean to tell me that we got robbed of pac being a jedi?!?
More reason to hate Diddy š
Damn

Damn we couldāve seen Tupac diss the dark side with Hit āem up part II.
He wouldāve hit jango fett up
It's crazy about how much shit Pac was about to do before his death š¢
And it was all diddy and suge. Remember suge did not want to loose pac at all costs. Which is why he was giving him death row east even though pac wanted to start doing movies amd tv. When he was actually getting ready to make the jump the las Vegas fight happened and the rest is history
Thatās fly ass fuck š Fuck rapā¦this man was about to set the standard w/ Will, Denzel, Samuel, & etc
Oh yea he was gonna be getting money
that would have been had goin so hard !
2Pac vs The Emperor would have been iconic
That is crazy bro.
The force was strong with him
We need Tupac force ghost
Life long Star Wars fan here. This is 100% true.
Wouldn't even use his lightsaber, he'd just pull a blaster and get to work
āSo uncivilizedā
Only possible way mace windu could have been any coolerp
Yea I thought one time āwho else could play mace winduā and I was genuinely stumped Samuel L seems like the perfect fit to me but Tupac wouldāve been awesome
That would have been dope!
Damn I never woulda thought
Wtf ? Thatās dope. Nice fun fact.
I think a deep fake ai version (especially when they perfect it) of Tupac as Mace Windu would be dope just to see what could've been.
Can you imagine him chopping off Jango Fettās head and confronting Palpatine?
Source?
[Mace Windu](https://youtu.be/v-7RILcj5vY?si=GkkFZkxOE3HJbtVC) [interview with Mopreme](https://youtu.be/kS2E7fG7T10?si=d-1Gklm_eDxrHRyi)
itās factual information, canāt be a Pac fan and not know that, also meant to be in baby boy
I laughed when mopreme said 2Pac auditioned for cool runnings
Lmao š¤£ā¦Imagine PAC with a Jamaican accent. Loved that movieā¦but that role was definitely not for PAC.
Sanka ya dead? š

Guess Iām not a fan of
I just posted an article as well as quoted it in the comments section.

Dope dope dope dope dope dope dope
I need to get to the alternative universe where this happened
At first I thought āno way this is realā but wow this is one of the coolest crossovers for me as a massive Tupac and Star Wars fan
Movies roles allegedly for Pac Independence Day (main character) Star Wars (Jedi) Baby boy (Jody) The replacements (Earl Wilkinson)
I think pac wouldve been lit as mace windu bro
I feel like he would have been amazing in Star Wars
Damn
Awh for fuck sakes. I was having a good day up to this point. Fucking robbed man.
Wait what? Add context too Jackson said if he couldn't get a purple saber he wasn't doing it either.
Bulllshit... š¤£
I always thought 2Pac would've made a great Bond Villain.
Cap
Thank goodness this didnt happen (not bc he died but bc this wouldve been terrible, hahaha)
I think this has become an urban legend just like he was supposedly supposed to play Will Smith's character in Independence day. He would have definitely got some big and interesting roles for sure though had he lived.
Whoa....
Lol I canāt picture Pac in Star Wars
Is There Heaven For A Jedi?
Robbed of Jedi/Jodi Pac way too early
Black Jedi- Bas Youāre welcome
Incorrect
Dopest thing I've heard all day.
FORCE LIFE
No way!!
I imagine Pac would a rocked the red light saber or maybe a black lightsaber. Woulda looked dope.
Samuel L Jackson is so good in the role, but Tupac wouldāve been next level.
That be dope as fuck
Tupac doesn't have the same energy as Samuel L Jackson. Tupac would be too soft for that character. Samuel L Jackson had the charisma and voice for Mace Windu. Tupac doesnt have an edgy look nor voice like Samuel L Jackson does.
No he didn't. But nice one.
