Chromatic Casting: Star Wars

[dealan311]

Okay fine. I bite. Here's my version of Star Wars:

Anakin Skywalker- Jaden Smith / Lee Thompson Young


Padme Amidala - Keke Palmer / Angel Coulby


Qui-Gon Jinn - Colin Salmon


Shmi Skywalker- Gina Torres


Palpatine - Ben Kingsley


Mace Windu - Samuel L. Jackson (Like I'm gonna mess with that one)


Obi Wan Kenobi- Daniel Henney / Ken Watanabe (Apparently when he went into hiding, he changed from Korean to Japanese. He's stealthy like that.)


Luke Skywalker- Tristan Wilds


Princess Leia Organa- Lenora Crichlow


Han Solo- John Cho


Lando Calrissan- Sendhil Ramamurthy


Feel free to make alternate suggestions.

I approve of this casting! While we recast Amidala with Angel Coulby (♥), can we also rewrite her role so that she *doesn't* die of heartbreak in RoTS? *g*

*snorffles* Yeah that takes some skill!

You just proved my theory on me correct, in that I'm entirely fine with all of this. I LOVE Jaden Smith as little Anakin and Ben Kingsley as Palpatine. Good times! I really think your version would have MUCH better acting. And just as much pretty. So what's not to love?

Nice job! I especially love Sendhil as Lando, and Ken Watanabe as older Obi-Wan. Although if you wanted to keep Obi-Wan Japanese, might I humbly suggest the beautiful Takeshi Kaneshiro?

Oh I like your suggestions! I feel awful that I don't recognize all of the actors above, but they all look like'd rock the Star Wars and with the pretty, yes.

I agree with all of the above except I have to admit I'm not a huge John Cho fan.

John Cho is perfect for Han Solo. He'd be brilliant!

I know this is months later, but I was reminded about the whole meme and found my way here just today. And OMFG, this casting is perfect. PERFECT! From now on, when I read the books or watch the movies/tv shows, I'm picturing this casting. You rock so hard!
