Ah yes. The negotiaitor

"The negotiations were short"

George: “You might get purple.” Samuel: **Smiles motherfuckery**

The concept of a purple lightsaber probably blew George's mind.

"can I have a purple light saber? " "no" Next day "yes"

So Vaapad exists because Samuel L Jackson was cool and had his own style

Sam L Jackson: Can I have a purple lightsaber? George Lucas: That’s outrageous! Done.

You might get a purple lightsaber

Crazy, my mom has a purple lightsaber in her drawer too

Geroge: good guys have blue and green sabers Samuel Jackson:three take it or leave it

Samuel: “I want purple.” George: “That wasn’t part of our deal!” Samuel: “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”

George: “Good guys are green and blue and bad guys are red, it’s just the way it is” Samuel: “i want purple” George: “the good guys are green, blue and purple, it’s just the way it is.”

George “that’s just how it works” Samuel Jackson” this party’s over” George “ you might get purple”

Samuel L Jackson : I want a purple lightsaber George Lucas : The only colors are blue an- Samuel L Jackson : I DONT REMEMBER ASKING YOU A GOD DAMN THING

This man changed lightsaber lore in 4 words.

The spark of joy on his face when George says “you might get a purple lightsaber” is amazing

I absolutely love how Samuel Jackson himself invented a purple lightsaber color for his character Mace Windu and then in the expanded universe of Star Wars they explain why his lightsaber has purple because he harnesses the dark side but he's still on the light side. That is just so awesome!

Mace asking Yoda if he is “cool with that” in what looks like an LAAT should be canon

George: Good guys are green and blue, bad guys are red. Jackson: Purple. Star Wars fans: *makes up 500 page essay on what the colors mean*

Lucas: That's how it is. Samuel: No it isn't. Lucas: No it isn't.

0:17 Samuel L. Jackson's reaction to getting a purple lightsaber is priceless 😂.

"Good guys have blue and green, bad guys have red. That's how it works" "Impossible, perhaps the Archives are incomplete"

I love how George just said "blue=good guys, red=bad guys" for the lightsabers nature. And then Samuel Jackson ask about a purple lightsaber and gives George new ideas about Mace Windu lore

"Ugh, working with George is so hard, he accepts no requests" Working with George:

Samuel L Jackson was so cool they created lore just for him

Mace Windu: “u cool with that?” Yoda: 👁 👄 👁

0:17 The absolute joy in his face is priceless

"You might get purple" You can tell as soon as he said that, it's one of those _"my goodness, what an idea, why didn't I think of that"_ moments George Lucas had.

0:17 that smile cracked me up. 🤣

General Windu, you are a bold one

Samuel: can I get purple? George: you’re on this council, but we do not grant you a purple lightsaber

“Which lightsaber is yours, Mace?” “The one that says bad MOFO on it”-SLJ

Lucas: You might get purple. Samuel: =D

George: Good guys have blue and green colors and bad guys have red Samuel: and Mace Windu has purple

I actually love that not only did they give him a purple lightsaber, but they gave it a pretty decent explanation as to why it’s purple

"It's settled then"

When Samuel Jackson wants his lightsaber to be purple, ya give him purple!

Samuel L Jackson is the best! He played Mace Windu so great

“no purple lightsabers?” “u might get purple” *[Happy Motherfucker noises]*

I just love how the music perfectly fits with his smiles, like a clear victory

"Well you were right about one thing master. the negotiations were short."

First time seenig Mace Windu Smile Lol.

You can see it in George’s face where he’s like “well fuck, I never even thought of purple” and then was like well maybe you can get one

0:03 George Lucas out here acting like a 4 year old kid who just read the rules of the playground sign

Samuel L Jackson talking to yoda at the end was great

I love how Samuel is talking with the Puppet Yoda

Purple lightsaber was a brilliant idea

The purple lightsaber for Mace was perfect. George made the right call

He told George Lucas to take a seat Edit: I wish i had as many views as I have likes lol

"blue or green. That's just how it works." "But what if it wasn't tho?" "Interesting..."

I love how with no aversion or ego George Lucas just hears this random idea and immediately goes, "yeah that might be cool lets throw it in there"

It’s kinda insane how sam Jackson invented Lightsaber colors variations due to force connection, his own fighting style of Vapor and Shatterpoint techniques by accident. These are some of the most important elements of Jedi culture and they were created by Sam Jackson being him.

Lightsaber colors: Blue and green sabers: Good guys Red sabers: Bad guys Purple saber: because Samuel Jackson wanted one

Jackson: So let’s talk about my lightsaber color.... Lucas: Good guys have blue and green and bad guys have red. Jackson uses Jedi mind trick: You can have a purple lightsaber Lucas: You can have a purple lightsaber.

You can tell this man had so much fun on set😂He looked like a little kid asking his dad for a more expensive toy when he was talking to George Lucas about a purple color lightsaber, especially when he smiled

I love how Star Wars nerds invest so much passion into the lore of Star Wars, like what's the meaning behind each lightsaber color and kyber crystals and all that. And here's the creator himself just like "Good guys are green and blue, bad guys are red"

Man this Samuel Jackson guy is really cool, I think he should be an actor or something

George Lucas-This is outrageous, it's unfair, how can you have a purple lightsaber when everyone else doesn't! Samuel Jackson-Take a seat young lucas

I love how much he loves his role! He really did a great job and created a memorable character

Damn he effectively gave us extra lightsaber colors, without him there’d be no yellow, white, or black ones

Star Wars Fans: Mace got his purple lightsaber as a sort of balance between light side and dark side, thus combining red and blue to purple. Samuel L Jackson: How about a purple lightsaber

"I don't use any fancy sword twirling, I dispense people as quickly as possible, using as little energy as possible." To be fair, that's likely the best method for all Lightsabers in general, since one hit can take down nearly anything.

I don't know why, but Sam Jackson saying "You cool with that?" to the Yoda puppet makes me laugh uncontrollably every time.

I want to be able to feel that level of joy that Sam Jackson had when he was told he could get a purple lightsaber

Lucas: these are the colors I want, why should I give you purple? Jackson: because I asked

Sam L Jackson said in an interview that George went to him the next day and said he was down to give him a purple lightsaber

It's simple mathematics... When Samuel Jackson says he wants a purple lightsaber, you say "Yes."

What makes me laugh more than anything is the "Lore" of this purple saber when the real lore is just simply summed up in one sentence by Mace himself. "I wanted to be able to point myself out in the battle scenes" That's it....lore done :D

"can I have a purple lightsaber" "No" "can I have a purple lightsaber" "Okay"

0:12 perfect cut

Only Samuel L Jackson can invent a purple lightsaber, make it canon and let it look manly af

Lore: Mace Windu created his own secret form nobody else uses. Canon: “Yeah but I want a purple one” -Samuel L. Jackson.

He made Grievous have another fine addition to his collection.

dude literally rewrote lightsaber lore so that Sam could have a purple saber

Gotta love when the director actually lets the actors have some input into things

This will make a fine addition to my collection

I loved this so much, so nice of George to consider giving him the Purple Lightsaber and Samuel L Jackson looked so happy when George gave the response. Also I love that Ahmed Best was there at that moment too just vibing away and experiencing that moment when Mace Windu was truly born. Samuel L Jackson really gave Mace Windu Character and Style a real true Jedi Master.

“Gimme purp”- Samuel L. Jackson

An entire lore was built around a purple lightsaber. How did it come to life, Samuel simply asked for it to make his own style.

I love that George was open minded enough to allow a new saber color, the Disney crap wouldn’t dare try something new like that until the end of episode 9 and at that point it’s too little too late

Sam Jackson wearing WWE merchandising is the most 90's thing ever

That smile after Lucad said he might get purple killed me inside. That shit was golden.

0:15 He looked so genuinely happy hearing that! 🤗😆

Samuel L. Jackson's smile after George Lucas said "You might get purple" is just the best! Haha!

Sam: I want a purple lightsaber George: What? Sam: SAY WHAT AGAIN!

It’s funny because the first Star Wars film I saw, I was mesmerized by the purple light saber and fell in love with Star Wars because of it

Such a historic moment. So glad this was on camera

Now this is the real lightsaber selection video we want to see

Samuel L Jackson: I dont do a lot of sword twirling. *shows him twirling his lightsaber for no reason*

What Lucas said: “you might get purple” What Lucas meant: “let me just change how lightsabers work entirely in this incredibly complex universe real quick”

George's face when he says you might get purple and he knows that hes been planning on it the whole time

Congrats to Sam Jackson on creating an entire lore based on lightsaber colors.

George Lucas: You are in this movie, but we do not grant you a purple lightsaber. *Next day* George Lucas: We grant you a purple lightsaber.

"fetch my light saber" "which one ?" "It's the one that says Bad Mother..."

The funniest thing is how Ahmed clearly helped Sam psych up to talk to George about it - point for Jar Jar promoting the dark side yet again haha

Lucas: good guys have green or blue sabers Jackson: what about purple ? Me: I love democracy

“Second only to Yoda P”o Koon: *But have you beat yoda in sparring?*

George has the energy of a mall Santa telling kid Samuel he'll get a purple lightsaber for Christmas if he's good.

Sam Jackson talking about the prequels while wearing a WWF shirt is like the most early 2000s thing ever

Sam: there's no purple lightsaber? George: you might get purple. ... Sam: so anyway I got purple.
