Mace Windu From Star Wars Is Alive And Should Get His Own TV Show, Samuel L. Jackson Says
Samuel L. Jackson played the Jedi Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels, and while we all assumed the character died in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, Jackson doesn’t think so. He told Empire that not only does he believe Windu is still alive, but he wants him to get his own TV show.

Madden NFL 25 will release in August, and EA has published a new video and blog post showing off some of its key improvements.

According to the blog post, BOOM Tech applies to any one-on-one tackle, which means that the game’s physics system will determine “dynamic outcomes” based on factors like speed, momentum, weight, and player ratings. BOOM Tech will apply to already-existing Madden gameplay concepts and moves, like the cut stick, trucks, stiff-arms, and dive tackles.
