According to Rick Clifford — who worked as an engineer at Tupac’s label, Death Row Records — Pac reportedly read for the part of Mace Windu in the early stages of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. However, following the rapper’s death in September 1996, the role of the Jedi master went to Samuel L. Jackson.

“Pac found out that I worked for Brian Austin Green, who was on 90210, then he found out I [worked on] some movies, so we always talked about his film career and stuff,” Clifford told the website 2Pac-Forum. “He was telling me that he was supposed to read for George Lucas and them. They wanted him to be a Jedi. I’m serious. Samuel L. got Tupac’s part. [Tupac] said [to me], ‘Old man, keep your fingers crossed.’ He said, ‘I’ve got three movies coming up. One of them, I’ve got to read for George Lucas.'”

Pac tried to warn the Jedi Council but they just thought he was paranoid

Can you picture my prophecy?
War in the galaxy, Clones is hot for me
Nothing but laser bullets, The bodies is droppin
Dark side ain't stopping me
Sith are constantly moving, destroying millions
Anakin killing, leaving dead bodies in abandoned buildings
He's killing children cuz he's illin
He's addicted to killing and the appeal of that Sith feeling
So stop chilling, or Jedi won't last, we'll be blasted
You hard headed b*stards!
Maybe ya'll will listen in the casket, the aftermath
More Jedi being buried, I'm losing my homies in a hurry
They're relocating to the cemetery
Ya'll got me worried, stressing, your vision's blurry
The question, will Jedi live? When the galaxy don't love us
We're headed for danger, don't trust strangers
Let's go to Palpatine's chambers, cuz I'm feeling his anger
So stop making excuses, tryna tell ya'll the truth
But what's the use, when ya'll won't listen to this Jedi youth
It's just me against the Sith baby!
