In other words, recast the original trilogy when the prequels came out. I'll start with my own list down below.
My own cast:
Luke Skywalker ... Elijah Wood or Tobey Maguire
Han Solo ... Brendan Fraser
Princess Leia Organa ... Charlize Theron
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi ... Malcolm McDowell
Lando Calrissian ... Laurence Fishburne
The Emperor ... Michael Caine
Your turn folks.

Why? The original trilogy was cast perfectly. No need.

jeez, I will go with the most uninspired starbait approach:
Luke Skywalker ... Leonardo Di Caprio
Han Solo ... Hugh Jackman/Wolverine
Princess Leia Organa ... Angelina Joli
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi ... Morgen Freeman
Yoda.......Mark Hamill
Lando Calrissian ... Laurence Fishburne
The Emperor ... Ian McDiamid (who else?)

I vote Lance Henrickson as Obi-Wan. Lets just have an old man Obi-Wan movie with Lance.

I don't have a problem with the original trilogy. I'm just imagining what they could look like if they actually came out after the prequels, instead of the other way around.

there are no problems but only issues. Issue is that SW historically cast fresh faces (even for older characters). Tom Cruise in SW would be an abomination (except in a trooper costume) as it is just Tom Cruise acting in SW and not a believable character in a galaxy far away .
The franchise alone is the star and makes the actors stars.

So in your hypothetical scenario here, there were no Star Wars movie released in the 70's, 80's, and almost 90's? Well not the original trilogy. I'm trying to pull a switch of the times, and think of those movies as if they came about at the tail end of the 90s through the mid 2000s, while the prequels would've already been made back in the 70s and 80s. Admittedly, I don't have a cast ready for a 70s/80s prequel trilogy, so I just stuck with this thread. |

Well i'm not too familiar with the fresh faces of the late 90s through mid 2000s, at least in terms of recasting for the Star Wars original trilogy. I tried to be as moderate as I could, and thus I cast someone like Laurence Fishberne as Lando, instead of someone like Will Smith, and someone like Charlize Theron as Princess Leia, instead of someone like Jennifer Love Hewitt. Anyway, which fresh faces would you actually cast, if the original trilogy came out in the late 90s through the mid 2000s? |
