I think if there's one thing this thread has demonstrated, it's that you're a terrible 'sample of one'.

It's one of the things this thread has demonstrated, certainly

Drew Barrymore as Mara Jade possibly?

Robert Downey Junior as Corran Horn?

Nu Kirk actor as Bror Jace?

Ellen Page as Inyri / Lujayne Forge?

I'm trying to think of an actor for Wedge since I'm guessing the original guy's fairly old by now?

*edit*
Just checked and Denis Lawson is 65 so quite a bit too old for the role in X-Wing novels, which I'd love to see as films.

And as long as we're talking about the X-Wing novels, Jared Padalecki for Kell Tainer. (They actually look a lot alike if the picture on Wookieepedia is any indication.)

The other being how easy it is to derail this board into a flatly ridiculous argument by getting one word wrong.

Oh, and while I'm at it, how about Teryl Rothery for Mirax Terrik?

Christ you guys are really going deep into craptacular EU characters for this. I am ashamed I even know who these characters are.

Who would you rather we talk about? All we've seen from you is whining.

How about what actors do you want to see in the next Star Wars movie and what kind of new character do you want to see?

No, see this is complaining. Whining couldn't possibly have this level of arrogance, condescension and laughter.

And double Christ, I agree with Ray.

I've said this before, but anyway, I'd like to see David Tenant. While he sometimes gets a bit too melodramatic, he's a pretty good actor. And he can be hammy and awesome at the same time, which is a good quality for Star Wars.

Lucky for me I don't know most of them.


My dream EU casting would be: NONE

Because they would ignore all of the EU stuff except for maybe a few random good ideas. I'm fine with little nerd shout outs like having Dash Rendar's ship appear on screen etc... but damn most of the EU just sucks ass and doesn't really fit in with the movies. I mean, given all the shit that force users have done in the books, comics, cartoons, and video games, doesn't that sort of make all the force users in the movies look kind of like pussies?

If they want to bring some of the tech ideas forward, fine. Just don't leave all the badder than the Death Star super weapons behind.

He already has...

Protip: You can still be an ass and whine

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as anyone.

Did you just throw "protip" out there while calling someone else an ass?

Look dude, it ain't whining. It's absolute incredulity that people can't get past the EU when it comes to these new movies.

dude you're whining so much it made me post for the fist time since 3 years or so^^

Gary Oldman as Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet Gilad Pellaeon. Remove the Jim Gordon glasses, maybe touch up the 'stache, and give him the white Grand Admiral uniform...yeah, I can definitely see that.

Edward James Olmos as his opposite number in the Republic fleet. Bonus points if he gets to bash a Sith with a flashlight.

And Sean Connery as...the Supreme Chancellor. A nice guy, to contrast Palpatine's legacy. Had to shoehorn my favorite actor in somewhere!

Somewhat crack:

Chandler Riggs of Walking Dead fame as Anakin Solo. Actually, I think he can handle the depth of emotion that Anakin needs, what with having a big chip on his shoulder thanks to his parents' and grandparents' legacy. And he'd be just the right age if JJ Abrams decides to go with the plot of the NJO series.

Given how there's a distinct anti-EU slant in this discourse, I might as well make up new characters:

The Rock as Boba Fett's successor
Emma Stone as Lady of the Sith
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Z-Wing pilot (cameo)
Amy Poehler for Mon Mothma
