Samuel L Jackson has admitted that he still doesn't know whether he'll appear in J.J Abrams' upcoming Star Wars sequel.



The actor, who appeared in George Lucas' prequel trilogy as purple lightsaber-wielding Jedi Master Mace Windu, revealed that despite dropping pretty big hints, he hasn't been asked to appear in Episode VII. Yet.













In an interview on the Late Show with David Letterman, Jackson also revealed that Mark Hamill and Ewan McGregor haven't been approached about reprising the roles of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.



The actor explained: "I asked Mark if he’d heard from JJ Abrams and he said, ‘No’, and then all of a sudden, Ewan was there [in London] and I spoke to him on the phone, asked him if he was there doing Star Wars. He said, ‘No, they haven’t called me.’"



But Jackson hasn't given up hope.



He continued: "I was thinking, maybe all three of us could just get together and go over to the Star Wars set and just stand around and see if maybe they could use some old Jedi!



"And then I heard on television they were auditioning people for Star Wars and I said, ‘Well, maybe we should just go through the auditions and see if we can get a job!'"



























Jackson said that he's made it clear he wants to continue being a part of the Star Wars universe, saying: "I pretty much hinted to JJ that I wanted to be in the film at George Lucas’ wedding, and he was kinda like, ‘Mmm’, that was about the most I got out of him."



Star Wars Episode VII is scheduled for a December 2015 release.
