But you can't tear it down for one reason - IT STILL EXISTS. The originals aren't going anywhere, are they? And if you ever saw the doc on GL he said he wishes he had this technology then that he has now, so here's his chance to do it like he ORIGINALLY dreamt it up! What's wrong with that? Also, it would make BIG MONEY and you know damn well yo ass would be sleeping in line for opening day tix! LOL!

Do it because he can. Period. He has the money, the backing, the fan base nerds, and a proven franchise = BIG BUCKS! It would help in continuity with all 6 films; it will visually link the 1st 3 to the 2nd 3. That's hot shit right there! Damn Carrie and Harrison, bring in Brad and Angelina for Han and Leia and the shit is HOT AS FUCKIN' FIRE OUT OF A DRAGON'S ASS!

So, here's my list:

Luke - Matt Damon
Leia - Angelina
Han Solo - Brad Pitt
Lando Calrissean - Jamie Foxx

Now who can fuck with a cast like that? THAT'S why you do this remake, to see the new stars of today do their own twist on the Sci-Fi classic!

Stop being so damn scary and old! LOL!



I could see Matt Damon as Luke but Brad Pitt couldn't pull off Han Solo and I just can't see Jolie and Foxx in those roles. Actually, all of these people are too old to play these roles anyway.
Personally I don't think it'd be worth the effort to remake these movies. To make a Prince analogy, it'd be like replacing the Revolution with better musicians. The chemistry and timing are a large part of what made Star Wars (and the Revolution) so great. That's something you can't reproduce. However, I don't think it would affect my appreciation of the originals so it wouldn't bother me. I'd probably go see it just to see what it was like.


Too old? Harrison Ford was 33 when he played Han. Brad Pitt is 42 and looks 32. How old do you think Jolie is? She's 31. Jaime is 38, how old do you think Billy Dee was when he played Lando? He was 44. Also, how old do you think Matt Damon is? He's 36. No one is gonna go around asking how old these actors are if they played these roles.

And ya can't compare a band to a movie, especially with a perfectionist freak like P. The big names will pull in the audience. Brad and Anjie flirting would be fantastic since it would be genuine.

The rest like who? Hayden is done. Darth is never seen without the helmet until Return of the Jedi's ending. That's the beauty of this, you can recast for everyone but Ewan. The cast was pretty small when you think about it: Luke, Han, Leia, Billy Dee...they were the only humans that you saw that had big roles. The rest were stormtroopers and aliens and robots.

Cute, but tiny. Jolie would be a better action star since Leia does some action in the last film.

lol


besides they all SO perfect as they are (apart from a few bits in ROTJ)... what's not to love... what is needing fixing in your opinion? for most people, NOTHING!

NOOO!.... the thing that made star Wars so cool in 1977 was it had no Hollywood stars, so it was much easier to just jump into the fantastic story and environment. It was a slap in the face to Hollywood, none of their stars were included, and none of their old school craftsmen, shot in another country too, the FX were done by young technical people/hippie/artists that Lucas rounded up into some old warehouse (leaving the old hollywood special effects divisions behind).... it also didn't follow any commercial trend with its retro symphonic soundtrack with no typical scifi synthesizer.

Not gonna happen in this era, bro LOL! This is the era of fame, so they'd HAVE to cast some known people. Nothing wrong with that. Ewan McGregor was known. Samuel Jackson was known. Jimmy Smits was known. Natalie Portman was known. They all did a great job.
