the main idea behind a Sequel Trilogy revolves around an aged Luke Skywalker in a period 2-3 decades after the Rebel victory at Endor. Based on this assumption, we would be placed into a "new era", where the Jedi are re-established and the Rebellion proclaimed a new Republic.

so will they use Mark Hamil? He would have to get in shape and get major makeup. Otherwise you use all new actors, or go animation.

I mentioned this in the main Disney thread... why does he need to get in shape? Despite being two decades older and having put on weight, Ian McDiarmid played a younger Palpatine in the prequels, so what stops Mark Hamill doing the same? It's not like he needs to be doing backflips when he's playing the serene mature Grand Master of the Jedi Order.

I still haven't got over how lame I found Yoda suddenly turning into Ninja Frog. Alec Guinness wasn't exactly fit to do rollypollies either, but a good script carries a character far, far more then the Cult of Youth that wants to dominate cinema today. If youth and athleticism was more important, Hayden Christensen would have been a good actor.

Have you seen how Mark looks now days?

No amount of CGI or makeup will make him look in shape.

But I have to admit, a fat Jedi flipping around and kicking ass sounds awesome.

Put him on the Marlon Brando diet, and have him act in the Clieg Lars hoverchair ... that would surely go against expectations!

When 900 calories a meal you will eat half hour, look good you will not!

Pfft. He's just living the Jedi dream.

*Yoda pokes Mark his his gimmer stick*

"More than this crude matter, you are... even if more crude matter now than before."

Darth Baras was clearly a deliberate foreshadowing of what to expect.

Where is his right arm? Did he eat it?

Zorrixor · Nov 10, 2012

Shessh, people, I'm sure they can retcon how Luke lost his arm!

Or they can use CGI and give him a new one!

you can't have a freaking jedi grand master look overweight. unless you want them to do a cgi reopresentation of Mark

Zorrixor · Nov 14, 2012

Yet you can have a Sith Emperor look overweight?

No wonder the Sith hate the Jedi. Such double standards.

Jedi Master Micah Giiett was fat...
