Better Jedi

Just a thought experiment.

I was discussing Samuel Jackson as Mace Windu (and his other roles) with my wife, and it occurs to me, that most of Mr Jackson's characters are all posturing and monologues.

I was thinking that as far as character actors go, Bruce Willis would have made an awesome Jedi.
Less talking and more action.
His answers to situations would (as a jedi) have involved more than a force push or a wave of the magic lightsaber, but perhaps a punch to the lip, or a foot sweep or 2.
I think he'd be a much more physical (and entertaining) Jedi.

Your thoughts?


Oh perfect!
Thanks for that

Samuel Jackson wasn't cast right in the first place, the lines he delivers tend to be quite boring and don't come near to straining his acting range (which tends to be a shouting bad-bottom).
So I think the character writing is more at fault than the actor.
