Something Stupid That I Just Realized

Okay, I watched Iron Man last night.  Very good movie, it's a shame that a sequel may never happen.  So I was watching the credits and the scene after them, with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.  I woke up the next day and realized something- Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson were both in Star Wars and super hero movies.

Liam Neeson was Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars Episode I.  The guy with the green lightsaber that is Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Master.  He gets killed by the Sith Lord Darth Maul.  Liam Neeson was Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins- he trained Bruce Wayne in the ways of the ninja.  He is bent on revenge after Bruce betrays the League of Shadows.  He gets killed in a near-devastating train crash.

Samuel L. Jackson plays himself Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.  He gets his arm cut off, gets electrocuted, and then thrown off a skyscraper all in about ten seconds time.
Mr. Jackson was also in Iron Man, as stated before, and portrayed Nick Fury, the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. (practically promising an Avengers movie or three).

Well, there's another post off the top of my head.  I've been a bit lazy about posting, I know, I just have plenty ideas that I don't know how to execute well...
