In an interview, Jackson claimed that he did not have a chance to read the script for the film and did not learn he was playing the character Mace Windu until he was fitted for his costume (he later said that he was eager to accept any role, just for the chance to be a part of the Star Wars saga).
U intervjuu, Jackson je tvrdio da nije imao prilike pročitati scenarij za film i da nije čuo da glumi lik Macea Windua sve dok nije došao na mjerenje za kostim (govorilo se kako je spreman uzeti bilo koju ulogu, samo da bude dio sage o Ratovima zvijezda).
