The New York Daily News reports that Tupac Shakur was invited to audition for the role of Mace Windu in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Aside from a legendary rapper, Tupac was beginning to make a quality name for himself as an actor. Appearing in the films Juice and Poetic Justice the late rapper was creating an impressive resume before his untimely death.

However his biggest role as a Jedi would unfortunately be missed. Former Death Row engineer Rick Clifford stated the West Coast rapper “was supposed to read for George Lucas and them. They wanted him to be a Jedi.” The role in the film eventually was taken by Samuel L. Jackson.

What do you think of Tupac with a light saber?
