That's actually true. Sam Jackson wanted a memorable death, and he got the purple lightsaber simply because he requested it.
And get this: the movie theater I go to shows random movie trivia before the feature; one I remember especially was that "BMF" was inscribed on Jackson's prop lightsaber handle as a homage to "BMF" on his wallet in Pulp Fiction, which stands for "bad mother****er".
I've never heard of any other movie where an actor got to call so many shots and the director bent-over backwards every single time.
