Tenel Ka, you stole my Jacen! But I will consider it a comment upon my good judgment and let it slide. happy

...And when you cast Lesley Ann Warren as Ta'a Chume, do you mean the Lesley Ann Warren who was Cinderella in the version of Rogers' and Hammerstein's Cinderella that I have loved since I was a child? *weeps for the sacrilege*

Zekk--Darren Hayes, circa 1998. It probably wouldn't work anymore, since it's been awhile and he doesn't always have the dark hair anymore, but I remember watching the video for "Truly, Madly, Deeply" with Darkest Knight in my hands, and it just clicked...For a more workable suggestion, I second (or third) the nomination of Caleb Ross.

For Jag, I see Wentworth Miller like several other people I know...he just looks so right for the role.

Kyp--I had to think about this one a lot, because he usually doesn't look much like anyone to me. Then I decided on Josh Holloway, whom Sauron_18 already mentioned. He can angst and smirk and be angry, and that's really pretty much the gamut of Kyp Durron's emotions. We can dye his hair later. wink

Jaina--I can see Keira Knightley in the role, or Evangeline Lily (Sauron_18 and I apparently watch too much LOST wink ). I think I might prefer to drag in an unknown for her role, though, because it's so important that you identify the main characters as the characters, without past roles getting mixed up in it.

Jacen--Jared Padalecki, as mentioned. The picture I'd use is here; I couldn't get it to work properly with the link tags: http://us.ent4.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/wb/gilmore_girls_photos/jared_padalecki/gilmore.jpg

If Mark Hamill doesn't want the role of Luke Skywalker, I vote we offer it to--no disintigrations, please--David Cassidy. I don't have the picture I wanted, but somehow he turned into an older Luke Skywalker.

Talon Karrde--Oded Fehr. (Warning: his shirt is half-open in the picture, so do not click if you are prone to fainting spells. wink ) I've never seen anyone else in the role.

Yesssss, I saw you picked Jared on the SWEU LJ -- then after watching Supernatural I was like, "Evil Sarah = so smart. XD"

And you know, since Phoenix is out of the question for real casting. Heeeeehe~

Also, Fehr as Talon Karrde = love And yes, Lesley Ann Warren, oh yes I mean her~ <3 For some reason after watching her in Clue and how snarky of a Miss Scarlet she played... I think it would work.

One note: who other than Harrison Ford, mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher can play Han, Luke, and Leia?
Emmy Rossum (from Phantom of the Opera) would be good for Jaina.
And it would be neat if the EU was turned into a TV series.

Well, the (former?) Ukrainian Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, looks a lot like Leia:

Anakin Solo: Jake Gyllenhaal...I have *always* thought this.
Jag Fel: Orlando Bloom, minus the British accent. Or would he have an accent considering he's Chiss-ish?

I'm only familiar with the Thrawn Triology but Talon Karrde was one person I couldn't quite nail down - I considered Jean Reno or Dennis Quaid for the idea but that suggestion of Oded Fehr is inspired...

My humble suggestions:
You would need new actors for the main roles:- Luke & Leia I'm not sure about, they'd need to be early 40's ish at max - maybe Matt Damon or Jared Leto/Lea Thompson.
One's I'm much surer about:
Thrawn: Jason Isaacs
Pellaeon: Benjamin Whitrow (British, right age, right look & following on from the tradition of casting in 1,2,3 for Imperial officers)
Han Solo: Nathan Fillion
C3P0, Chewbacca, Ackbar & Kenobi (McGregor) the same but I think with Kenny Baker now getting on maybe Warwick Davis could be R2.
Winter: Julie Cox
Wedge: Rohan Nichol
Mara Jade: Mira Sorvino
Jorus C'boath: Christopher Plummer. Lee would've been ideal if he hadn't been Dooku.
Borsk Feyl'ya could be Silas Carson.
Mom Mothma - Carolyn Seymour
Lando: Terrence Howard
Reverend (yes, it just a small role but so perfect for) Brian Blessed
Sena: Michelle Forbes
Dengar Roth: Fintan McKeown
Captain Brandei: Jeremy Bulloch
Michael Dorn as a Noghri, maybe Rukh, would be good.
Mark Hamill could (although he does look much older now) be Luuke Skywalker to save on budget!
Ghent: Travis Cody Aimer
Gilespee: Sir Anthony Sher
Major Himron: Jurgen Prochnow
Mazzic: Jimmy Shergill
Par'TAH@ Rena Owen
Shada: Carolyn de Souza Coirea (hey, re-cycling the star wars actors is not a bad idea!)

and Garm Bel Iblis... Well, Connery is perfect BUT he's now retired, so I think, Sir Anthony Hopkins...

The others I'm not so sure about.

Come to think of it, Jared Leto would be absolutely perfect for Jacen. He's handsome but also has a bit of that "arrogance" to him, but also a level of sincerity as well.


Oh, PS...I saw Jared Leto, indeed I did. drooling

Interesting Thread... just common on people! No lohan, duff or cruise should ever touch the world of star wars!

Talon Karrde: George Clooney
Mara Jade: Kate Beckinsale or Miranda Otto
Thrawn: Jason Issacs
Corran Horn: Ben Browder
Tycho Chelcu: Jude Law
Jacen Solo: Jared Leto definately... no one else would fit here... well, maybe.... no.

Jaina Solo: Emmy Rossum or Keira Knightly... Emmy has that look that would work, but Keira has that kickbutt attitude... she looks like Padme, remember she played a decoy in EPI

Anakin Solo: I just can't place this one.

Kyp Durron: Johnny Depp or Viggo Mortensen... I must admit, Ewan McGregor has often been in my imagination when reading of Kyp... that's probably because Ewan was a favorite actor and Kyp is my favorite character. Someone said Matt Damon... I love Matt, but he doesn't really fit into this universe either, especially as Kyp.
Kenth Hamner: Sean Bean- I loved this recommendation
Jag Fel: Josh Hartnett or matthew fox or orlando bloom
Booster Terrik: Kris Kristofferson
Mirax: Catherine Zeta-Jones
Wedge Antilles: John Cusack
Tahiri: laura Prepon
Somone mentioned Denis Leary for Tycho, but I don't think it's his angle.

You're forgiven. grin

Tahiri must only be played by Hayden Panettiere http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0659363/
Everybody's favorite ant princess from A Bugs Life

I also agree with these earlier nominations:

Jacen Solo: Jason Ritter
Jaina Solo: Rachael Leigh Cook
Anakin Solo: Ryan Merriman

Look 'em up on the IMDb

Kenobi_kid, Hayden Panettiere, is exactly who I pictured for Tahiri. From the way she is discribed in the books I think she fits her to a T.
