Arnold as Captain Rex: "Ruunnnnn!!! Gooooo!!! Get to Choppaaaa!!!"

 

Okay, a serious elevator pitch for Arnold S.

Rogue Troopers.
A squad of Stormtroopers crash on a jungle planet and have to fight their way to the extraction point.

Their snivelling captain decapitated in the first 15 minutes, Sarge takes charge. Much Predator, Jurassic Park, and Terminator Salvation, and getting to Chopper style action ensues.

Along the way they encounter a squad of Rebels, and we get the classic "we hate each other, but a much nastier enemy forces us to co-operate" subplot.

Edit:. He's too old for this. I know.

Jonathan Pryce
David Warner

 

The squad eventually stumbles upon a derelict ground transport and are able to get it fixed and running. Along the way to the extraction point, they pick up a hitch-hiker played by Paul Reubens, who plays a loner and a Rebel. There's a lot of things the Stormtroopers don't know about this guy.... things they couldn't understand, and things they shouldn't understand. He explains he's on a mission to track down his stolen swoop bike, so that he can get to the Rebels' extraction point which is much farther out. The troopers take him as far as they can go, and drop him off at a diner.
Arnold: "Be sure to tell 'em Large Sarge sent ya!!! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"

My Queen is strong with the Force. I'd love to see her get a SW role.

 

Who is that?

 

Anne Hathaway?

 

Yep. Force choking someone.

 

Dan Stevens in Legion is a possible alternative Anakin.
Powerful and barely controlled and perhaps not the good guy people hope for.

 

Charles Dance, as an imperial moff

 

Claire Danes (as an admiral or something)
Tatiana Maslany or Gugu Mbatha-Raw, both of whom were rumored previously
Colin Firth
Christopher Plummer
Ken Watanabe

...there are just too many.

 

How about Ralf Fiennes? Seems like he could very easily play a shady, morally ambiguous character.

Russel Crowe
Chris Pratt (Han Solo anthology for sure)

Id like to see Christopher Walken in a Star Wars movie.

 

add jeromey irons with him and i can agree

 

IMO, someone like Christopher Walken is too recognizable to be good in SW. When he shows up, I wouldn't be watching his character, I would just see Walken. Even if his face was buried under prosthetics or even if he was mo-capping a CGI character, it probably wouldn't work for me. I can't even watch K2S0 without looking for Wash.

 

Yea Walken is rather distinctive, but for me it's more his presence and demeanor I would find interesting as a villain or ambiguous character. It would need To be the right character. Samuel L Jackson is a distinctive, well-known actor, but I thought him as Mace worked out well.

It makes me wonder how Benecio de Toro will be in his role. He was good in Sicario.

 

jeffery dean morgan. he is good in everything and anthony hopkins

 

Tilda Swinton as an imperial or first order officer
Christopher Walken as some sort of bad guy
Jason Momoa as anything really. For...personal reasons

 

robert englund aka freddy krueger and is voicing scarecrow in injustice 2. he'd be amazing as a new big bad
