Part of the reason the original trilogy worked so well is they cast relative unknowns in the lead roles.
Casting big names seems like a mistake.
I don't think I can watch a Star Wars film with Zac Efron without thinking "what the **** is Zac Efron doing?"
Zac Efron is Zac Efron in every film he's ever made. He doesn't become a character.
And that would suck in Star Wars.
