    So, following on from the remake thread, we’re hypothetically going to remake Star Wars.

    How would we do it? Like Star Trek, keeping some humour in it, or perhaps Battlestar Galactica style, dark and serious with Han Solo played by a female actor?

    Who’s directing? And most importantly, who are we going to cast?

    Bill Nighy as Obe Wan.

    I’m wondering if Nathan Fillian as Han Solo is a little too obvious.

    How dare you! (if you mean the original trilogy)

    There’s really no point, but it would have to be actors without much prior exposure, so that you can really ‘believe’ in them.

    Some directing candidates:
    Guillermo Del Toro
    Darren Aronofsky

    Although, to be honest, if you got Pixar to make it, it would probably be the best thing ever.

    Nothing wrong with obviousness. It’s the right choice to make.

    For directing:

    Darren Aronofsky

    +1, but I’d like to propose a duo with Tarantino as well.

    First person I thought of for Luke was Owen Wilson.

    I shall, of course, kill myself immediately.

    Errrr… didn’t their live action space thing bomb horribly?

    Directors, I fancy Paul Thomas Anderson, and Marc Forster.

    Soundtrack, bored of Williams… but a score by **** Buttons? Might help give a post industrialist feel.

    Dark, thrilling, violent, dramatic. Less child friendly.

    I would also like to posit Chiwetel Ejiofor as Han Solo… just think about it a little bit…

    Also Andy Hamilton as Chewbacca?

    I was trying to think of someone who could play Leia. It can’t just be a ‘model’. She needs to have real character and ‘spunk’.

    Maybe:

    Lando – Denzel Washington
    The Emperor – Hugo Weaving

    Luke – Ryan Gosling..? Not sure about this one.

    For Leia – Olivia Wilde or Emma Watson, can’t really think of anyone else.

    The Emperor; what’s John Hurt up to these days?

    That couldn’t be more bananas if you painted it yellow and hung it from a tree.

    Luke Wilson for me.

    I didn’t say it was a particularly good thought.

    Surely we can find a role for:

    they should do a Kung Fu version with Will Ferrel playing Chuck Norris playing Wuhan Solo.

    luke skywalker- bill bailey
    obi wan- the guy who played father jack (in father ted)
    han solo- the guy from black books (who owned the shop)
    princess leia- cynthia rothrock (cos she can kick ass)
    chewbacca- brian blessed (you know i’m right on this 😉
    and david lynch can direct 😀

    Yoda has to be Andy Sirkis, surely.

    Leia has to be Amber Heard[/url] if only for the slave costume part! 😯

    Ah, if we’re applying that logic, we need Christina Hendrickson.

    Plus, we’re long overdue a ginger Leia.

    My cast would be:

    Joseph Gordon Levitt as Luke Skywalker
    Michael Caine as Obi Wan
    Kiera Knightley as Princess Leia
    Robert Downey Jr as Han Solo
    David Tennant as the voice of C3-PO
    Denzel Washington as Lando Calrissian
    Gary Oldman as The Emperor
    Ian McKellen as the voice of Darth Vader

    Luke Skywalker – that would be me, I’m perfect for the part and would not let size, age or lack of acting ability get in the way.
    Han Solo, oh, me definitely. Luke I am your long lost twin
    Darth Vader – no, seriously, we’re related too? wow, who’d have thought?

    No i think C3PO should be Julian Clarey…

    The obvious choice but too close to the original.

    Luke – Jason Mewes
    Han – Kevin Smith
    Leia – Nicki Minaj

    The “lead” being Akira, or Kaneda?
