Who's that Jedi Master who kicks butt in Episode II and talks in-depth in the latest issue of Star Wars Insider? We're talking about Mace Windu -- and Samuel L. Jackson, of course.

Star Wars Insider #55 features an all new interview with Jackson; the long-time Star Wars fan talks about what it's like to once again step into Mace Windu's foe-stomping boots. Also interviewed in this issue is Silas Carson, a man of many roles in Episode I. He returns to two of them in Episode II -- the Cerean Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi, and everyone's favorite slimy Neimoidian, Nute Gunray.

This issue includes a look back at the important contributions to the Star Wars galaxy made by the late Brian Daley, coverage of the development of the Jedi Knights Trading Card Game, and regular features such as the picture-loaded Prequel Update, 2-1B's column, Star News, and more.

Star Wars Insider #55 ships to subscribers on July 20 and will arrive at newsstands on August 7. This issue will be poly-bagged with an exclusive Obi-Wan Kenobi Evolution card from Topps. To subscribe to the Star Wars Insider and join the Official Star Wars Fan Club, click here.
