I need some casting to start taking place for Jacen, Jaina, ......Thrawn, Dalaa, Mara, etc. I want to know where we're going.
I don't know who any of those people are.
Who would
you want casted as them?
You absolutely won't be happy til my fingers start bleeding will you?
Challenge accepted.
Do you really want to know this stuff tho?
Mara = an important woman. If you really want to know who she is, I'll tell you, but it's better to wait and be surprised. Either way, she's a bad *** chick. In theory, think Renee Russo, Lethal Weapon 3ish. Clearly that won't work now. Chastain maybe? Has to be a red head that is stunning, but can kick the crap out of you. It could be a broad I don't even know yet.
The kids, Jacen, Jaina, Anakin, that's tricky. Are we doin this when they are 4? 14? 18? 25? Gotta let me know that part before I can cast them. But they = HUGELY important in time. Jacen and Jaina are twins, but so were Luke and Leia, so it may not be a big issue other than they both have to be white. But they have a storyline that will make things rise.
Now Dalaa, she could be Russoish as well. Even a little older version, but she may be too far gone at this point. Need a red head in her 30's to 40's, she doesn't have to kick ***, but she does need to look good, and be fierce. She needs to hold her own acting wise, and fit in a tight suit. Can't be havin January Jones with red hair here, need it to be real.
Now Thrawn.........if we get Thrawn........let me put it this way, IF, we get Thrawn, if that happens, them last 3 joints won't ever be spoke of again. Thrawn is everything. He could be one of thee most awesome characters we ever see, IF they do him justice. Who we select, won't matter race wise, the dude is blue, so it could be Jennifer Lawrence for all I care. He's gonna need to be regal as ****. Black hair, slick. His eyes will be red, so contacts handle that. Imposing, but not ridiculous, he's regal, same as Dalaa.
As an idea.

Way not happening, but give me Christian Bale and I'll drop the mic. Bale would do the **** out of this role. But I get the feeling, Star Wars is going to go young, unknown types that will last for several several years with these projects. Thrawn could be in a triliogy, and then be used later in additional projects, younger, older, either way. He has to be casted right. Otherwise, they'll need multiple actors young and old. Robert Downey would fit the bill too, but he's too short, and too old surely.
Talon Karrde comes into play if Mara gets cast. Liam Neeson would have worked, but they ruined that. Older gentlemen, swift, smart and savvy more than "tough" Could be any number of old dudes, probably don't even need a big name, but a strong presence would be good. Hold his own acting wise, he'll need to speak quickly, yet not say much. He's an awesome character.
