Star Wars: Were they being secretly Assholes to Samuel L. Jackson?

 

The Star Wars Character Mace Windu didnt begin with Samuel L. Jackson in the Starwars Prequels. Rather it began with the West End Star Wars Roleplay Game Mos Eisley Galaxy Guide.

Originally Mace Windu was a metre tall Squib (an alien species) who wore a hat with useless bits of metal adorning it...

And then they did the Prequels.

Was his character name just pulled from a list of Star Wars character names? Or were they being dicks to Samuel L. Jackson?
