If you were recasting Star Wars Episode IV today?

It seems to be the thing to do these days.

Take a classic science fiction or space opera franchise and "re-imagine" it.

So if they revisited the original Star Wars trilogy, who would you choose?

I like the idea of Nathon Fillion as Han Solo.

no idea, alas - I'm terrible with actor's names for one thing

No worries.

Maybe you could give references to other things the people you are thinking of?

Starwars Revisited

[ferret_otaku]

Han Solo: Nathan Fillon OR Russell Crowe OR Mel Gibson OR Jensen Ackles

Obi-wan Kenobi: Tommy Lee Jones OR Jackie Chan or Sir Ian McKellan OR William Shatner

Luke: Macauly Caulkin

Darth Vader: Samuel T "MoFo" Jackson OR Pierce Brosnan OR Tim Curry

Princess Leia: Liv Tyler OR Charisma Carpenter OR Eliza Dushku

Correct my bad spelling if you must.
Also, how serious do you want the series to be?

Personal Preference really.

The great thing with Nathon as Han, he could do a serious job, or ham it up and go for the laughs.

Maybe list two versions. One for the dramatic remake, and one for the satire.
