    There is no way you're going to get a really short actress! They normally like them to be at least 5'8". I see no problem with someone around 5'4" or so. They can just give Carrie Fisher elevator shoes or put her on a platform whenever she has to stand next to Jaina to make it more believeable. Finding a 4'11" actress is darn near impossible! Heh, I'm 5'2" and I would still be too tall for Jaina! Imagine that! ;) They could also totally ignore what the character descriptions of the EU said and make Jaina taller than her mother, but that would piss EU canonists off to no end. I could live with it though, if there was an NJO movie :D

    Your 5'2", NJ? Dude, that's tiny... ;) :p j/k.

    Well, my ideal Kyp is Josh Hartnett. He would be great. Katie Holmes is Jaina, IMHO.

    There's my 2 cents. :)

    Yes, there can be no other besides Katie. However I will never see anyone besides Johnny Depp as Kyp. ;) Dark, dangerous, and handsome :D

    I don't think that Katie Holmes would make a good Jaina. She (Katie) has too much of a baby-face. I think that if he were alive, young and not stoned,

    All the way!!!!

    Those are good suggestions for SOTE characters. Though I may totally LOVE the gorgeous, the beautiful, Goddess Carmen Electra, :D. I still can't picture her playing Guri and I can't and DO NOT want to picture her with pure blonde hair. A better and some what similar babe that could be cast as Guri, would be Jenny McCarthy with her known blonde hair and not that awful black hair she had or still has.

    When I read EU books, I picture Robert Logan (the General from Independence Day) as General Cracken and the French dude in Godzilla as Talon Karrde.

    Rebecca191 thats weird-i totally agree. ive always (for some odd reason) pictured Shiri Appleby as Jaina. To me she just matches the original description of Jaina really well.

    Someone mentioned Jeremy Irons for Corran, but I think he would make a perfect Thrawn.

    I think that Orlando Bloom would make an awsome Jagged Fel. I frankly cannot get over what a studly hunk of beef-cake he is!

    Jeremy Irons as Thrawn (PLEASE, not Corran, no!)
    Tom Cruise as Corran (cue the Top Gun music please)
    Sean Connery as Pellaeon circa VOTF/NJO (well, he was Captain Ramius in the Hunt for Red October and this is a similar role...tough leader of men, dissillusioned etc)
    Brian Blessed as Garm bel Iblis or Booster Terrik
    Rowan Atkinson as Moff Sareti (why? Because I like him)
    Joseph Fiennes as Captain Sair Yonka
    James Dean as Kyp Durron
    John Cleese as Captain Ardiff

    and now for something completely different:
    Geri Halliwell as Mara Jade :) j/k
    Courteny Cox as Ysanne Isard (with contacts, hair dye and some makeup)
    Halle Berry as Belindi Kalenda
    Michelle Yeoh as Shada (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. 'nuff said.)

    What about the actress who plays Lana on Smallville as Jaina?But then again I'm not sure what Jaina looks like, and I don't know how tall the other girl is.

    Only two I can think if:

    Jaina: Lacey Chabert
    Mara: Angie Everhart (And I'm partial to her 'cause she has red hair and great legs...)

    I love these threads...

    And I love the idea of Bloom as Jag. He's perfect! Check him out here and here. See? Perfect.

    As for Jaina, I've yet to find an actress that could pull it off. Height really doesn't matter to me, as no one ever really gets it right anyway. (Jaina's 4'11", yet still taller than Jacen in BP? Come on.) What matters most is the face, I think. We need someone who bears resemblance to Han and Leia--moreso to Han, it seems. The blurry face on the back cover of BP seems to say it all: high cheekbones, small lips, a somewhat elongated face. So far no one suggested really matches up. But I'm still looking, and I'll keep you all posted... ;)
