The San Francisco Chronicle features an interview with Samuel L Jackson about his career and current film 'Coach Carter'. Here's the Star Wars bit:

The developments at his day job have been promising, too. The "Star Wars" prequels and "The Incredibles" have generated a new, young audience for him. He beams at the notion of children pointing at him on the street while whispering to their parents.

Even a forthcoming onscreen demise will be cloaked in honor. Jackson says Mace Windu will be granted a suitable exit for a Jedi knight in the forthcoming "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," which opens in May.

After Jackson made public his concerns about the death scene, George Lucas assured the actor that he would go out in a blaze of glory, and the director made good on his promise.

"It's rousing," Jackson says. "It's a great light-saber battle with 102 moves in three big rooms."

There's another interview at ESPN's Page 3 where he talks about Episode III:

ESPN: One more movie question. What will you be doing in this episode of Star Wars?
SLJ: Dying. Dying, like all the rest of the Jedi. It's an awesome death.
