    I'm sure this has probably been done, but I haven't been here for awhile, so just induldge me if you've done this before.

    Jaina Solo -Jennifer Garner from that show Alias. (I'd also like Carrie Ann-Moss, but she's just too old)

    Jacen Solo -Any young Harrison Ford look-alike who can handle a lightsaber. Should be easy enough to find...

    Anakin Skywalker -Matt Damon?

    Kyp Durron -A clean-shaven Viggo Mortenson? :)

    Mara Jade -Would dying Angelina Jolie's hair red and giving her green contacts work?

    Supreme Overlord Shimrra -Micheal Clarke Duncan (They could also use his voice for a Hutt if needed)

    Tsavong Lah -Ving Rhames

    Nom Anor -Wayne Pygram (I think his name is. He's the guy who played Scorpious on Farscape. He'd be perfect IMO.)

    Vergere -Any lesser-known actress with a somewhat bird-like face.

    Han
    Leia
    Luke
    Lando
    Chewie
    Artoo
    C-3PO
    -All played by the originals naturally.

    Feel free to come up with your own, and/or add more characters to the mix.

    Angelina Jolie as Mara Jade? Gross! [face_shocked] I think Nicole Kidman or Julianne Moore would be much better choices.

    Matt's a little to old to be Anakin. Be was only like 16 when he dies. :)

    You think Carrie-Anne Moss is too old, and Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner aren't? They're all in their thirties!

    The New Republic = American Actors/tress
    The Galactic Empire = European Actors/tress
    The Yuuzhan Vong = Asian Actors/tress
    The Jedi Order = Mixture

    Thats the only way I can see it done.


    Some of the original actors may need to be replaced because they don't look anywhere near like they use to. For Example: Billy Dee Williams (Lando) has put on some weight last I saw him. And from what I've read in the books about the character, Lando doesn't sound like he's gained much weight in 25 years.

    Luke and Mara are supposed to be in their 40s so an older actress playing Mara would make sense. How about unknowns for the NJO?

    cool! i'd say...

    vergere: totally digital character.

    jacen solo - mark wahlberg

    jaina solo - this is a tough one...i say angelina jolie.

    anakin solo - matt damon sounds pretty good. he looks like mark wahlberg, and jacen and anakin look somewhat alike..

    danni quee - estella warren (from planet of the apes)

    jag fel - keanu reeves

    shimmra - michael dorn

    tsavong lah - shaquille o'neal

    'unknown' first time actors seem to thrive in star wars.

    angelina jolie is too young to play mara jade, she should play jaina. for mara....julia roberts, perhaps?

    Angelina Jolie as anyone is nasty. You can tell what my opinion of that actress is. ;)


    How about Liv Tyler as Jaina and Elijah Wood as Jacen? I think that would be good. Also wouldn't Orlando Bloom make a great Kyp?

    Whitey: Very nice cast. I had forgotten about the fantastic Eliza Dushku and SMG. Are you a Buffy fan per chance?


    I still think Orlando Bloom would make a great Kyp..either that or Jacen. That boy can sure act! :D

    Personally, I think Bloom would make a better Jacen than Kyp.

    For others:

    Ganner: the guy who was in Minority Report and is now Bullseye in Daredevil. I can't remember his name but he's a good actor.

    Danni: I think Jennifer Garner would be good if she dyed her hair blond.

    Randa the Hutt: Sally Struthers (sorry, had a South Park moment there ;) :p )

    Corran: anyone but Mike Stackpole

    How about Jodie Foster (with a red wig and green contacts) for Mara? She's 40 (i.e. not too young), she's not very tall (like Mara Jade), and she's good at playing strong, determined women.

    Vergere = CGI

    Luke = Mark Hamill

    'unknown' first time actors seem to thrive in star wars.

    Actually they don't thrive. Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones were only successful because they can act and also had made good movies before Star Wars came out. Everyone else either already had an excellent acting career and didnt need the fame or were so bad that no one wanted them (Mark Hammel[sp?] for example).

    The only fame they get from the fans is because of the majority of the fans are a bunch of pre-teens who don't know anything about quality acting and only care about whether the actor/tress looks hot.

    The poor acting in the Prequel films is what causes all the negetive discussions about how bad the films were. That and the gobs of CGI. Even in the Original Trilogy only a few actors were really excellent actors. They are the ones who have a superb or good career in acting (Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, Ian McDarmid, etc).

    Watch, as soon as the Prequel Trilogy is over with you will never hear about Hayden Christiansen, Natalie Portman, Jake Llyod and all the other poor actors ever again (except maybe once or twice every so many years). No one will want them. Just like they did with Mark Hammel[sp?] (when was the last time you seen him in a movie?).

    There is more to picking a cast then just good looks or fame.

    Mark Hamill (that the correct spelling, FYI) is an excellent actor IMHO. Yes, (compared to, say, Harrison Ford) he didn't have a big movie career after SW, but he's still very sought after as a voice actor. Please don't diss him.

    Hey! :p

    Hamill. And it was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And he was excellent.

    All the people from the OT are still successful;

    Mark Hamill is a very popular voice actor, and is the Joker in the Batman animated series.

    Carrie Fisher has a talk show on oxygen.

    Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones both still act.

    Denis Lawson also voice acts.

    Hayden's a good actor. He'll be around for years. You read the AOTC script and see if you could make that fireplace scene better. Or better yet, get a camcorder and act it out. Hayden will exceed you, no doubt about. He hated the dialogue, but that is his job, and he did as he was asked. Don't diss the actors.

    Mark Hamill is a character actor and an excellent one. He always was. Unfortunately, he is very short and also had that unfortunate accident, as well. He also had quite a 70's look.

    Carrie Fisher had lots of drug problems, so she didn't pursue acting that much, but she did fine. She was really good in her day.


    Now then, I always picture Danni as Elisha Cuthbert from 24. If you go to the official site, and find profiles:actor (it's a great website, btw, very fun) there are a couple of good pix.

    Whitey: Very nice cast. I had forgotten about the fantastic Eliza Dushku and SMG. Are you a Buffy fan per chance?

    You bet I am! I chose Eliza Dushku for Jaina because she has that hot goth look that Jaina has on the cover of Dark Journey. I chose SMG for Danni because she matches the description perfectly and I've always imagined Danni as SMG. Both are excellent actresses. And I've never seen Orlando Bloom as Jacen.

    I agree. That was most definitely one of the best-acted intermissions in a motion picture I've ever seen. :p

    I thought you were a fan. When you mentioned Eliza, I knew it right away! She and SMG really know how to kick butt.

    Yikes did you just diss my all time fave? :mad: For your info, Mark Hamill is a talented actor on screen and in voice overs. The reason you haven't seen him much is because 1) he has been doing a lot of voice overs in the cartoons and 2) he has been doing a lot of acting in theatres. So before you diss someone, I think you should find out there bio first. (not trying to sound like I am flaming, just giving you some info)

    Simple, you replace Natalie with someone who can act.

    I'll give you this though, Hayden is a far better actor then Natalie. Talk about someone who can't act out emotions throughout an entire movie. Oie!
