In an interview with a fan website, the former chief engineer of Tupac's record label Death Row said Tupac auditioned for "/*Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace*/."
/*Tupac*/ was up for the part of /*Mace Windu*/. However, the rapper never got that chance, because he was shot and killed in 1996, filming began in 1997. The role eventually went to /*Samuel L. Jackson*/.
