    Unfortunately I don't think it's going to be that trivial. Nearly every time they've spoken about or referenced other fairy tales/fictions on the show, they eventually at the very least cameo some part of that world later on. I don't think they'd do it immediately (this season), but I don't doubt later on we're going to get at least one character. Also best to keep in mind how the show sneaks in characters from other universes by overlapping them. So anyone as far as the Red Queen, Ariel, Jafar, etc. etc. could also be....Tarkin. :)

    The future of star wars is bright :)

    The problem would be getting an actor resembling the character in question.

    "The problem would be getting an actor resembling the character in question."

    This is a bit of an oxymoron ... don't you mean you would need an actor to resemble the original actor? What actually defines what the character looks like? The original actor who played them, or their description from the scripts and novels?

    I'm not sure for the purpose of Once Upon A Time, that resemblance to the actor would be required. He could look like Luke but not Mark Hamill. For example...

    this figure looks like Luke, but does it look like Mark Hamill? Not really.

    Not to mention the characters on Once Upon a Time really don't look like even the Disney versions of the characters (outside of maybe one or two little visual references, usually). For example, this is their version of the beast from Beauty and the Beast:

    Given their precedent, they could basically cast whoever they want as a Star Wars role.

    Sorry, I can't quote properly, because this BOARD has not updated its software for IE11 / Windows 8.1

    Anyways ... it doesn't look like Luke OR Mark Hamill ... it looks like a sculpted plastic toy...

    I really need to finish season 1 of that show... sigh. I just detest the main character thoroughly.

    Anyway, I wouldn't sweat it. What do we care if a SW character appears on that show? It's its own particular take on fairy tales that doesn't necessarily hew to Disney's own animated films, much less the various versions of the tales themselves. If anything was straight up obvious Infinities, a SW character on that show would be it.

    Then again, knowing LFL's policy on continuity lately.... :rolleyes:

    edit: WAIT! They can just have Witwer play Rhett, who we all know is the most important character anyway. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

    I would not be opposed to Sam Witwer representing Star Wars.

    I love Once Upon a Time, it's my favorite show on TV right now. With the premise of the show going beyond
    fairly tale stories by having the likes of Frankenstein and possibly eventually more famous characters in fiction It could make sense in the show to have a Land where Star Wars resides, but I'd rather not...
    There seems to be a problem, it only lets me click the like button once...

    I'm certainly not opposed to that, it's great to have actor who is a enthusiastic and IMO intelligent fan.

    Witwer the guy, from everything I've heard, sounds great. Sounds like a true fan. Rhett the character though, ugh. :p

    Ganner is Yellowblade. And then he used Anakin's saber. Never an orange saber. ;)

    I'm unclear how one could distinguish that from him genuinely liking what he's doing.

    One would have to probably get him in private and actually engage him in conversation to find out whether he really liked it or not. But I assume he did; didn't he say when Hasbro made a Starkiller action figure that it was a dream come true?

    That's easy, he's human and presumably possesses the following.

    1) Experience with butt kissers.
    2) Instinct.
    3) Intuition.

    Social humans make such distinctions a thousand times a day. The ability to sense when someone is or isn't being genuine isn't superhuman.

    Maybe he's wrong, but all he's saying is "sounds like".

    I always wondered who he was. Figured he was Lassin, the guy Jaden mentioned as dead in Crosscurrent.
