Many Freepers have been commenting on the most recent Star Wars casting rumors http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2994628/posts.
But one comment gives inspiration for an inquiry.
The gist of it was that Lucas HAS to use the original actors.
But suppose you didn't want to engage in heavy make-up or CGI trickery to present Hammil, Fisher and Ford as youthful characters in their beloved roles.
You are asked to pick some of today's performers to step into their shoes.
So...IF you were to cast Episode VII as though it was picking up where Return of the Jedi left off: Who would you cast ast Han, Luke and Leia?

Han - Jeff Dunham’s puppet, Walther.
Luke - Willie Nelson.
Leia - The little “No!” Girl on that credit card commercial.

With the current crop of Communists, Ecoterrorists, and just plain idiots who think that what they say, away from a script means something, no thanks!

Fun trivia, Keira Knightley played the fake queen (Sabe) in The Phantom Menace. Whenever you see the queen in full makeup along with Padme, it is Knightley playing the fake queen. She was cast specifically because of her resemblance to Natalie Portman.
To: mountn man
Sorry, but Kate Upton is already playing Mrs. Perdogg.....

Matt Lauria (”Friday Night Lights”) might make a good Luke. Zoe Kazan (Elia Kazan’s granddaughter) is an up-and-coming actress and might pull of Leia pretty well. Shane West is a bit older, but would make a good Han Solo.
Look them up on IMDB. Hey, no one had heard of Mark Hamill either...

Why not cast some new and upcoming actors in a new movie with new characters that can be loved and cherished for generations to come. Is Hollywood that bad and or lazy?
