I killed a man with a paperclip, a roll of quilted northern, and a colt model 1911-A1...to the pancreas!
Good! Now that I have your attention:
We tried this a few years back (as some of you other Old-SWAG-Farts may recall) any some folks completely misunderstood and went ape-kaka. So, once again, I pose the following question....again:(wow, that's a lot of colons)
If...IF..George Lucas had not made Star Wars back in the 70's, and instead made it today, who would you imagine...IMAGINE I say....being cast it said Holy Trilogy, and as who?
Discuss!

Does he have his current amount of money?
If so, Natalie Portman for Leia, Nathan Fillion for Han, and probably some kid from a popular sci-fi series for Luke.
If not, a relative unknown for Leia, Nathan Fillion for Han, and Haley Joel Osmond for Luke.

Dude. Val Kilmer as all the Ewoks ever created - maybe except Malani - is blatant racial stereotyping, what with him being part Cherokee and all! (I mean if he was a Wrangler or a Liberty, it'd be another matter.)

Hmm I almost like it Asok... Chris Pine is just way to cool to be luke. He could possibly steal the show from Nathon Fillion, I like it though and Natalie Portman? Ech shes so cardboard in star wars. I think you could actually do better with Keira Knightly as the prissy and sassy princess opposite Nathon Fillion and have some funny romantic go-around. At least better that Portman I think. Ian Mckellen could make a cool Obi-Wan but hes so strongly associated with wisdom and what not. Obi-Wan is ridden with guilt over his failure with Anakin. I think Geoffrey Rush would be cooler and would be boss pimp in the prequels opposite Liam Neeson. I love William Dafoe and David Hyde Pierce though! Imagine it though, Chris Pine being warned about Geoffrey Rush the old failed Jedi out in the desert! Then he goes off with him to Mos Eisley to find Nathon Fillion and Chewbacca. They take off to face the Death Star and rescue the rough and tumble princess Keira Knightly and come back to blow up the death star and face off against James Earl Jones and William Defoe... Uh... Sounds sexy....
Here's a big question though. If it was recast, would the script change?
Submitted by Asok on Sun, 08/22/2010 - 13:02.
In an ideal universe, the script would only have the tiniest revisions. The actors we cast are a little more serious than the originals, in some ways. How about Sean Connery as Obi-Wan?

Submitted by Judas on Sun, 08/22/2010 - 13:08.
I think that, aside from minor dialogue differences, the story should be considered the same. At least on the more serious recast ideas. On the crazy, loopy ones we can change the story, too:)

what's the point in telling lunatics that they are lunatics?... They won't believe you anyway, and try to tell you that you're crazy for thinking they are lunatics.
No point in saying that you are lunatics, especially since you already know it :)
