Yeah it would be cool if luke was called khan skywalker.

Christensen could play luke, seen him in a few other movies and he's not a bad actor, same could be said for portman as leia. Solo would have to be Clooney, actually now realising who fillion is he'd be perfect. Danny Devito as yoda. altho its not worth discussing because lucas would pick nobodies.

i dunno. the prequels had a pretty high profile cast. Neeson, McGregor, Portman, Jackson...

I think that part of the reason, I say part, that he didn't have a big cast for IV - VI was that he didn't have the budget...

Billy Dee Williams was pretty big at the time, and he was drafted in after the success of the first film; ie. when the budget for Empire was substationally increased.

George Lucas as Jabba the Hutt ftw.

Ryan Reynolds as Han Solo
Rachel Bilson as Princess Leah

please tell me that's a joke. I'd cast him as Leia before I'd cast him as Solo.

as for Bilson, you know, that's the best I've heard yet I have to say...fair play.

Han
Fillion as Han, not bad but how about Russell Crowe? Meaner, moodier and will "unleash the hounds of hell" (oops sorry wrong movie):o

Obi wan
McGregor again if he wants to do it that is as he was fed up with blue screen work after ep III

Luke
Hayden to play him? I thought he was awful in epII, improved for epIII and I liked him in Jumper so why not try him as Luke. Matt Damon would be another choice but he's too old now.

Leia
Dunno about this one, Carrie Fisher had it about right first time out and most of the curent crop of leading ladies are useless.

Watch Firefly and you can see how he can change his characters mood from simple backward captain to "get out of my face or I'll remove yours" in an instant. The first episode has a scene where they're eating dinner and Adam Baldwin makes a not very nice comment and Fillion turns on him and big as he is, Baldwins character knows when to back off and leave.

He was also very good in his small part in Saving Private Ryan where he is mistakenly told his brothers are dead and he breaks down in what is probably the funniest scene in the movie.

I believe he's a very under rated actor, much better than a lot of the "pretty boys" who get the big roles.

well i won't disagree there but i don't know if he could fill the boots of such an iconic character as Han Solo...

I wouldn't disagree with you either, after all most of us wanted to be Han Solo and not Luke when we were kids. In fact I think I'd still like to be Han

My point was that Fillion is an under rated actor who would be ideally suited to a role like this unlike say, Brad Pitt or god forbid, Tom Cruise :eek: Hell Jonny Depp would make a better Han than those 2 overpaid pretty boys.

The more I think about it, the more I fear that the midget Cruise would want this role cause his religion is based on Aliens starting life on earth and he'd see himself playing Han "the messiah" Solo saving the galaxy. Scary eh
