The actor recently came in an impres- sive second at the Mercedes Open Pro-Am golf tournament in Hawaii, and the developments at his day job have been even more promising. First Jackson guided Coach Carter to a box-office win this past January, and now he reprises his swashbuckling Jedi Master Mace Windu in this month’s Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Predicting he fights in the film is like predicting George Lucas will make money on this, the sixth, Star Wars movie. “It’s rousing,” Jackson says of the big fight scene during a recent interview in New York. “It’s a great light saber battle with 102 moves in three big rooms.” Jackson looks out a 48th-floor hotel window at the snow carpeting Central Park. He is in a galaxy far far away from any workable golf courses or interplan- etary war theatres. But he is the picture of contentment.

I know the things I can do. I know the things I can’t do.” Few limitations are apparent on the film side.
