I continue to maintain some of the acting selections I made during the NJO-Casting thread a few months back:

Mara Jade -- Dana Delany
Jag Fel -- Michael Rosenbaum
Admiral Pellaeon -- David Warner
Gram bel Iblis -- Gary Chalk
Borsk Fey'lya -- William Atherton
Viqi Shesh -- Jennifer Hale

Edit -- A few revamped choices:

* NRI Director Dif Scaur -- Stevent McHattie
* Baron Soontir Fel -- Powers Boothe
* Joruus C'Baoth -- Oded Fehr
* Talon Kardde -- Bob Hastings
* Leebo -- Billy West

David Warner for Sate Pestage. That's all I care about.

:?: Are you sure you didn't flop those? Fehr would make a way better Karrde than Bob Hastings (assuming we're talking about the same Bob Hastings).

Jeremy Irons lost all credibility after Dungeons and Dragons, to quote my coworker after we teched the film; 'Who was that bad actor who looked like Jeremy Irons though?' :D

This reminds me of a house rule we had with SW: RPG. You had to pick an actor/ actress to play your character.

Since any EU live action production would be TV only, and since movies made into TV shows always get re-cast like MASH, wouldn't the leads need to be replaced?

I would go with Ed O'Neill to replace Harrison Ford as Ball-Less, Soulless, Pussywhipped EU Han Solo. David Allen Grier as EU Lando. Edie McClurg as EU Princess Leia, and Ricky Schroeder as EU Luke Skywalker.
