Gary Oldman is in talks for a Star Wars role! Probably for a sith

I'd absolutely kill to see DD Lewis as a Sith Lord and Cumberbatch as a Jedi Master. That would soooo kick ass.

Too many star wars fanboys put far too much faith in George Lucas and his blessing over what went into EU canon and what didn't. Thinking that he scrutinised stories to fit preexisting canon etc. I'm willing to bet he asked 1 question every time someone from Lucas Arts etc came to him with something new for the EU to be published/released. 'Will it make me even more money?'

It depended on the novel and story. In the beginning, there were tons of questions and directions given by GL regarding those things.

Later, though, after "they" had a better feel for what GL would allow or not allow, the questions subsided. If there was a sensitive story that came up, he would do the grilling and veto stuff, again.

But Day-Lewis is "too good" for Star Wars

Damn right he is.

hope it happens as I can see Michael Fassbender and/or Benedict Cumberbatch as Sith Lords

What do you guys think about Jacen and Jaina Solo?

both fassbender and cumberbatch are perfect for Jacen

Jaina, not sure yet..

i suspect anyway that JJ will be using some of the characters names from the novels but not their backstories

If Jennifer Lawrence and Fassbender weren't the most overused actors, they would be a perfect brother/sister. They already have that xmen chemistry too.

Cumberbatch is a great actor, I just don't see him being Han Solo's son.

Oh yeah. A 13 year age gap between those two are perfect for characters that are supposed to be twins.

What?

Movie magic bro. Besides, it doesn't look like there's a 13 year age gap.
