Jackson Thrilled With 'Star Wars' Role

Samuel L. Jackson says he was delighted to play a Jedi in three "Star Wars" films, noting the role will probably cement his place in Hollywood history. "You want to have a place in cinematic history," Jackson told reporters in New York earlier this week. "And out of all those things that I've done, this is the one particular thing ... that I know will always be studied, analyzed and looked at as a turning point in Hollywood film-making history."
