Darth_Rive Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Ok folks, first of all, sorry if you though that this was news about where GL was casting for the new trilogy. What I wanted to know was this. I you were in charge of the casting department for the new trilogy, or any new Star Wars movie ever made, be it an adaption of an EU book, or one o the games, or whatever, who would you cast for the various roles? Personally, I think Tim Roth would be amazing as the Emperor's clone, especially after seeing him in "Rob Roy" and "Planet of the Apes"... And what about Kristen Cloke as Admiral Daala ?

big_hair Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 As you know Rive, I would suggest Brendan Fraser as a new Han Solo. Perhaps, Cate Blanchett as Mon Mothma? Rive informs me that Guy Pearce would make a good Xixor, but I think he'd be able to fill any role given to him... Maybe Wedge Antilles, Crix Madine... Anna Faris as Princess Liea? Seth Green as Dash Rendar? Maybe if he worked out a lot... John Hannah for Admiral Motti? (Far right of the pic). Dan Akroyd As General Rieken? Jeremy London for Luke Skywalker, maybe? Well those are some high profile and low profile characters... Whaddya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reb Starblazer Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Kevin Costner for Dash Rendar. I'm friggen serious. Look at that picture and truthfully tell me that he doesn't remind you even the slightest bit of Kevin Costner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Hutt Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Originally posted by Boba Rhett I'd much prefer unknowns. Agreed o.o OR they could go for a trilogy that takes place rhoughly 25 years after the end of Return of the Jedi and use the original actors XD and then unknown faces for all the new and added characters o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreekJedi Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 If they made a new trilogry i'm pretty sure harrison ford wouldn't return. so no han solo. how would that work? but anyways i would like Luke to play the ben kenobi role. wise jedi master. I would like there to be a jedi council type, but not like the pt where they are on coroscant. Yavin 4 would be good. It would be better that the Jedi are not so involved in the government stuff. they would just let the force guide them in making the right choices. Leia could be a jedi in this too. It be better i think if the story focus more on the Solo/or luke kids. I dont know how they could bring back a convincing sith. what would be his purpess. It'd be cool if luke was the sith, but then that would make all his hard effort into not turning into a sith in the OT as a waste. So making a really good story would be hard. They could do something without a sith, but then who would the jedi fight? Meaning saber to saber? seeing jedi deflect blasters is fun but we need saber fights too.

Guest Jed Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I'd just say give Sam Neill a part. I've always liked movies he's been in...almost made Jurassic Park 3 good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rive Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Yeah, he's a pretty good actor. But the question remains, Jedi220 (or anyone else), who would he play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the question remains, Jedi220 (or anyone else), who would he play? A new character maybe.... Or anakin's blue ghost? He kinda looks like the old anakin...

ronbrothers Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Nah, I believe that if Lucas were to do a final trilogy, he should use the original actors.. in this manner: Mark Hamill (he'd probably do it) reprising Luke Skywalker as the older, wiser Jedi. Threepio and Artoo, of course. Harrison Ford probably wouldn't do it, so though it would suck, he and perhaps Leia would have to be written out some way. And concentrating on a new generation of Skywalkers. I know this contradicts EU, but the lead character could be the son of Luke Skywalker....

Taos Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Originally posted by Boba Rhett I'd much prefer unknowns. Yep, I like this too. This way the focus is on the movie itself rather then the actors who are in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Damage Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 As much as I would like to not say this, i would just forget about having another triliogy being made. Allthough............. George said that he wouldnt do it so, doesnt that mean that someone else could get the licsence(crappy spelling i know) to make it and keep star wars going! about the characters, who the f*** needs harrison ford when the CG effects will be supreme over the actors in a couple of years any way. We could just make a new cpu han solo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 were're still a long way from replacing actors by CG characters, just think about Final Fantasy (the movie), it took about 4 years to do and Squaresoft had to close its movie divison because it didn't make enough money. and even if it was profitable, filmmakers would stille need actors to play the characters voices... and therefore we would need a good actor like harisson ford to "play" the CG solo!!

Darth Damage Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 excuse me, but we are talking about ILM not some video game company that cant hack it. I do believe that we are not that far from cg actors, we will have it soon. and aout the voice actor, there is somone out there that can do it, its not that hard to find a good voice actor.

coupes. Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 still, ILM came up with Jar Jar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rive Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 See, the other trouble with CGI actors is that not only have to get actors in to voice them, but you need more actors to motion capture (that thing where they get them to wear the blue or green lycra body suit with the ping-pong balls stuck on) as well, so for one character, you'll need about 30 CG artists, a voice actor, and a mo-cap actor, crew and suite. That's where the trouble lies in the whole transition to full CG actors lies. But hopefully it'll get easier and cheaper with time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE_Vader_536 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 would this be the story of the yuuzen vong invasion? because that roughly occured 25 years after rotj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Damage Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I still dont see why any of that is trouble. There are many people that could do this finding those actors and all. You underestimate the power of ILM! And the Jar Jar thing....TRUE DAT! (THEIR ONLY MISTAKE I MIGHT ADD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I agree with Rhett. I'd much prefer to see unknowns. Hayden Christensen was virtually unknown before AOTC and I think he did a great job of portraying Anakin (I don't care what anyone else says). When you associate a famous actor with a previous role, sometimes it's hard to picture them in their new role. I still see Ewan as his character in Trainspotting for some reason, even though he's a great Obi, barring the awful English accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Damage Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Well Said. That is the absolute truth lexx, I think that Hayden did a great job potraying Anankin. Obi Wan was just great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Originnaly said by leXX I still see Ewan as his character in Trainspotting for some reason Obi on deathsticks is what it would look like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
