Can we cast them all as Sith Lords?

It's not like Carrie Fisher won a crate full of Oscars....

Hatcher was just the first older hot brown-eyed brunette I thought of.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't think 7-9 will include those characters.

I think they'll do the Thrawn series or future movies with those characters in a new saga when it's more "acceptable" to re-cast.

Why is re-casting Luke Skywalker so much more horrendous than re-casting Captain Kirk?

The last time Mark Hamill played Luke was 1983.

Shatner was reprising his role as Kirk all the way through the early 90s.

Disney should just ****ing do it.

Yeah but, like Dane said, backlash.

If you cast some awful actor in any of these roles and they do a shit job, it's not gonna look good.

If you get a real actor in there who can nail a role, make it their own and ape the original actor's performance somewhat, home run.

I think it will be fine to re-cast, just not for this particular series of 1-9.

Outside of that, sure.

I think it would be weird, continuity-wise, to have Luke played by Hamill in Episode 6 and played by Ryan Gosling or whomever in Episode 7.

I still don't see the problem with recasting. IMO, if James T. Kirk can be recast, Luke Skywalker can be recast.

It's not like Mark Hamill is in any kind of shape to take that up again anyway.

I just don't see the point of an Episode 7 without the Skywalkers in it.

What would they even make the story about?

I guess a Boba Fett/Jabba/Galatic Underworld movie would be cool, but that's supposed to be the setting for the TV show.

there were rumors of it being 1000 years in the future with no connection to the Skywalker storyline.

See, **** it.

I want to see more Luke Skywalker adventures.

Maybe the bastard can turn to the darkside, like he did in Dark Empire. How cool would that be?

Again, I think Disney will be cool at some point with re-casting the characters from the original series and sending them off on new adventures.

But just as it wouldn't make sense to have a different Batman for each of Chris Nolan's Dark Knight, it doesn't make sense to have different Han, Leia or Luke for Episode 7-9.

If that's the road they're heading, they'd be better off with a stand alone trilogy and not a continuation. But then again, Disney has been known to **** shit up (John Carter of Mars), so who really knows.

All I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense thematically and would be a tough sell as a continuation of the original series.

TRAINING MONTAGE!

Only instead of running up steps and punching things, he's lightsaber sparring and trying to make things float with his mind.
