“He has an awesome style in wielding a lightsaber”: Star Wars Boss on the One Marvel Star Who Could Rival Hayden Christensen, God of Lightsaber Combat
When it comes to the wielding lightsabers among actors in the Star Wars canon, few could rival the absolute beast that was Hayden Christensen. The actor has, on multiple occasions, demonstrated his lightsaber prowess, much to the excitement of fans. However, according to Rick McCallum, there is another actor worthy of the same praise.

McCallum, who was the producer for The Prequels, talked about how Samuel L. Jackson was one of the most versatile lightsaber users that he had seen. Jackson essayed the role of Jedi Master Mace Windu, who was arguably the strongest member of the Jedi Order, behind Yoda, Anakin, and Obi-Wan.

In an interview with Star Wars Insider, Rick McCallum was all praises for Mace Windu actor Samuel L. Jackson, telling the magazine about how he has a great style with the lightsaber:
Yeah, he just finished his lightsaber duties this week and let me tell you – he is the man! You know, Mace Windu had to go to Jedi training too. But he has an awesome style in wielding a lightsabre. Fans will love it- he’s very cool.
Samuel L. Jackson’s work with the lightsaber was effective from a character standpoint, and while it reaches the level of work that Hayden Christensen put in sometimes, the actor has far eclipsed his co-stars when it comes to wielding lightsabers in the Star Wars universe.

In fact, even 20 years later with Ahsoka, Christensen has proven that he remains one of the best wielders of lightsabres in the Star Wars cast, closely followed by Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson.

Samuel L. Jackson‘s Mace Windu is one of the few characters that Disney has stayed away from in its recent ventures. While everyone from Ki-Adi-Mundi to Master Yoda has made their way into modern Star Wars (that is to say, the part of the brand that has been grown by Disney), characters like Plo Koon and Mace Windu firmly remain in the non-Disney parts of the property.

It is not like Samuel L Jackson is not available, given that he is just over at Marvel, still playing Nick Fury. However, with the amount of Jedi that have been popping up in the wake of Order 66, it seems that more Jedi have survived the fall of the Order than were actually killed.
Disney has to try to move on from the characters that came before its acquisition, as they have begun to function more like a crutch for a crumbling brand. The focus, instead, could be on developing fresh characters that do not have to rely on cameos to work, as has been done with Dave Filoni’s corner of the Universe.
