Todd as the son of luke and lead role? :gladbron: @obarth

I really don't know how I feel about that, I haven't seen him act in anything else but maybe it can be his breakout role. afterall, star wars had a bunch of unknown actors in it to begin with. But :blessed: if Fassbender and Hugo Weaving are in it as well.

its not like mark hamill gave a oscar worthy performance or hayden christansen


plemons was in friday night lights and killed it as landry

I just want some EPIC shyt for this movie breh. I think if I had it my way I'd have incredible actors at every single character. fukk it, I'd make fassbender my lead. The star wars mythos is so incredibly underutilized, there is so much potential, especially the darker aspects, I really fukking hope these movies are mature and serious in tone.

I expect a tone similar to the trek films, which is fine. You can do a lot with PG-13. JJ isn't going to be making a kids film but that fear is there until I actually see it.

Arndt apparently felt that the main characters of Star Wars: Episode VII should be the offspring of Luke Skywalker (Hamill), Han Solo (Ford), and Princess Leia (Fisher), with the originalStar Wars actors taking supporting roles in the story. Abrams felt differently, as he was eager to focusEpisode VII on Luke, Han, and Leia “so audiences could have one more chance to enjoy them before a fitting send-off.” George Lucas was also involved in the debate (Arndt wrote the treatment for Lucas before Lucasfilm was sold to Disney), but he deferred to Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy, and with Arndt now completely off the project, the lead characters of Episode VII will indeed be Luke, Han, and Leia while their offspring will take on supporting roles. The plan now is to have the younger characters take over as the leads in Episode VIII and Episode IX.

Hugo weaving breh. Agent Smith from the matrix, the main elf king dude from lord of the rings, V from V for vendetta, hes been in a bunch of good movies tho. Fassbender was great in Hunger, he was really good in 12 years, x-men first class and he killed his role as the android in prometheus. He seriously elevated that movie a lot with his performance.
