What is the name of the Jedi Council member played by Samuel L. Jackson?

The Jedi Council member played by Samuel L. Jackson is Mace Windu. Windu is a Jedi Master and senior member of the Jedi High Council during the final years of the Galactic Republic, appearing throughout the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Jackson portrays Windu in The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). Windu is known for his stern judgment, political influence, and distinctive purple-bladed lightsaber. During the Clone Wars, he also serves as a Jedi General leading Republic forces.

The character has important connections to several other Jedi. He opposes training Anakin Skywalker because of Anakin's fear and age, and he later refuses to grant Anakin the rank of Jedi Master. Yoda is another senior Council member, while Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are Jedi Masters, but none of them is the Samuel L. Jackson character. Windu was ultimately removed from the original trilogy and created for the prequels.
