    I wouldn't be suprised if she was at least a background character. Tony daniels was a bar paton in EPII and Lucas got a few seconds in EPIII as papanoida. She was super sweet when I met her at CVI, so I hope she gets a cameo.

    Hmmm...Hardy playing two characters named Bane? I was thinking a new villian, but he would be quite good as Darth Bane

    yup, Amidala's decoy Sabe. Chosen because her and Portman look quite similar

    Why? They're not doing the Thrawn Trilogy.

    Although I personally loved the idea of Kris Kristofferson for Joruus C'boath.

    Hardy would be great! But not as some lame EU Sith Lord. Start from scratch. It would be great to see people using their creative minds to....well...CREATE something. (instead of just repeatedly borrowing from EU.)

    NOTE: These were done just looking at birthdates, seeing who would be an appropriate age.
    Mara Jade (if she shows up): Amy Yasbeck, Gillian Anderson, or Julianne Moore.
    Ben Skywalker: Sterling Beaumon, Spencer List, Michael May, Griffen Gluck, or Nathan Gamble.
    Jaina Solo: Jamie Renee Smith, Leighton Meester, or Jenna Louise Coleman.
    Jacen Solo: Jake Sandvig, Tom Felton, William Moseley, or Emile Hirsch.
    Villain (s): Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Alan Rickman, Michael Caine, Timothy Dalton, Jason Issacs...?


    These kids are a little younger than their current FOTJ counterparts, but hear me out- if E7 is set roughly 30 years after ROTJ, Luke and Leia would be in their 50s, Han in his 60s. That means it would be conceivable that the Solo twins would be in their 20s, while Ben could be in his late teens.

    Personal Favorites: Gillian Anderson, Nathan Gamble (young, yes, but that kid can act), Jamie Renee Smith...undecided who could best play Jacen, but Jake Sandvig looks pretty good.

    Paul Giamatti as a corrupt smuggler/traitor with a heart of gold/someone who you shouldn't trust outright.
    Emma Watson.
    And (to steal from the post above): John Noble and Gabriel Byrne.

    I'd also love to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt, maybe as a new Jedi training under Luke. . Cillian Murphy could be a good villain. It also love to see Clive Owen in it as a scoundrel-type/smuggler type. Fassbender would be great because he's so diverse.

    Personally i wish they will cast some new faces and TV actors (same thing did Jackson on LOTR).
    I'm sure that there will be 1 or 2 stars but rest they should invest in good actor scouting.

    I have absolutely nothing against seeing big names in a Star Wars movie.

    Some people fit the universe, some don't.
    And Jack Nicholson as an insane old Sith would actually be great :p

    What about Kevin Spacey, Vincent Schiavelli, or JEFF BRIDGES as a bad guy? And what about Owen Best or Joel Courtney as Ben Skywalker ?

    Ciaran Hinds as a Grand Admiral, some random Imperial kind of guy or maybe even Thrawn.

    I'd like to see Hardy in a Han Solo type roll. Not as a smuggler mind you, but the smartass of the group. Maybe a bounty hunter or a badass war vet.

    1. Chris Pine (I know, I know)
    2. Christopher Walkens
    3. Christain Bale
    4. Yvonne Strahovski
    5. Katee Sackhoff
    6. Nathan Fillion
    7. Chow Yuan Fatt
    8. Brandon Routh
    9. Tony Jaa (Thai martial art actor)

    I don't know exactly why but Gillian Anderson is growing on me for the role of Mara Jade... She's got a bit of a unique tonal quality to the voice which always was something I felt would be very Mara. Then I saw this picture...

    And looked at my bookshelf...

    Hmm... works for me.
