Samuel L. Jackson, known to Star Wars fans as Mace Windu, will begin the New Year by re-shooting scenes for "Revenge Of The Sith".

The actor, talking to Now Playing Magazine, revealed he was called back in London for January, and talked about what fate awaits his Jedi alter ego.

"Dying! Like all of the rest of the Jedi. I can't tell you [the specifics], but yeah, it's an awesome death," said Jackson. "Well, when [Episode IV] starts, there are only, what, four Jedi left. There's Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Darth Vader, is it? Everybody else has been assassinated, killed, wiped out, something."

The trip won't be wasted for the actor. He told the mag that director George Lucas offered him a keepsake for his troubles.

"Yes, I did get to keep my lightsaber," enthused the actor.
