That image of Sean Connery needs to be captioned. "Do you find me sexy?"

Tom Cruise.

As a crazy Jedi who sees visions of the Emperor Xenu and eventually cuts up an entire street of innocent civilians thinking they are possessed by evil alien souls.

Wow...he's now been nominated as both a Jedi AND a Sith!

My vote goes to Johnny Depp, not as a Jedi, but as a man-Witch of Dathomir. :P

Sort of has that Obi-Wan beard going on. Not to mention that his third fist could come in handy :D

He would be a Jedi who doesn't use a lightsaber. Interesting fight - a dual sabre wielding Jedi verses a double blaster shooting Jedi. Whose Force is the strongest?

From here on I will stab anyone who makes a Chuck Norris joke. :evil:

I second Ken Watanabe. Definitely make a good Jedi Master. On an off note, didn't Lucas consider Toshiro Mifune for Obi-Wan Kenobi very early?

Don't you mean you'll give them a roundhouse kick to the face? :lol:

Given the heavy influence on Star Wars and the Jedi by Kurosawa and the samurai, it only makes sense to have at least one prominent asian Jedi.

And I'd cast Morgan Freeman as Mace Windu, not Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson.

Morgan Freeman doesn't really fit the style of Mace Windu's character like Jackson does. Freeman would be more of a Yoda type of Jedi master. Wise and generally not aggressive, but still able to kick your ass if you force a fight.

I can't agree with this either.

Done.

Alright, seriously:

Tony Amendola

(if this were EU casting, I'd go as far to nominate him for Jorus C'Baoth)

George Takei

(Come on, he's already got the dueling part down 8) )

I'd rewrite Windu.

What would be the point of two Yoda types?

I'd have Roger Caesar Marius Bernard de Delgado Torres Castillo Roberto, otherwise known as Roger Delgado AKA The Master
<====

Provided he wasn't dead of course. I'd cast him mainly because it'd be a good contrast to his work as The Master & you could have a good ambiguous angle about his motives which ultimately result in saving the day.

What are your ideas?
