IF the casts of the two trilogies had been swapped... which roles would suit which actor best?

If Episode 1-3 had been made in the 80's and George had used the cast from 4-6, which roles would suit which actor best, and vice versa? Here are my thoughts :

Episode 1-3

Young Obi-Wan Kenobi : Mark Hamill
Qui-Gon Jinn : Sir Alec Guiness
Darth Maul : David Prowse
Darth Sidious \ Palpatine : Ian Macdermid
Padme : Carrie Fisher
Adult Anakin : Harrison Ford
Yoda : Frank Oz
Mace Windu : Billy Dee Williams

Episode 4-6

Old Ben : Christopher Lee
Luke Skywalker : Ewan Macgregor
Han Solo : Hayden Christensen
Leia : Natalie Portman
Lando : Samuel L. Jackson
Darth Vader : Ray Park
Emperor : Ian Macdermid
Tarkin : Liam Neeson
Yoda : Frank Oz

 

Give all the roles to Ian McDiarmid . He's the best SW actor!

 

Hayden couldn't be either Han or Luke. If Ewan McGregor was Luke, Hayden would just look silly as Han, calling him "kid," and the like... Also, just because Billy Dee and Samuel L. are the only black guys to have big roles in the Star Wars films, it doesn't mean they have to switch roles. I say stuff Hayden away in the Lando role, and make Samuel play Han Solo. Yeah, that's how I'd do it. You also forgot to cast Dooku, and since I can't think of an actor to fill in for him from the OT, I'll just say that Lando's robot aide guy could do it.

 

Good ideas, Levi!

I couldn't think of anyone from the OT who would fit into Dooku's role... I firgured it would be silly having Hayden call Ewan kid, but I guess I was only thinking of his "rebellious" personality in AOTC, and Han's nature in the OT. Hayden would make a good Lando!!

 

you really can't switch yoda's character someone else can you? hmm.

i know switch yoda with chewbacca..now, there's a twist no one has probably never thought of before. yoda dispensing his wisdom in grunts & roars!

 

lol... Yoda the wookie Jedi. He would wipe the floor with Tyranus in 2 seconds.

Can you imagine little (yoda)Chewbacca trying to overpower storm troopers with his brute force?

 

Heh heh heh... I've
