ForceCast.net: ForceCast #280: Emperor Gandalf

Posted by Eric on November 22, 2013 at 09:00 AM CST

Ian McKellen...Shia LaBeouf...Joel McHale...No, they aren't being cast for Episode VII. Rather, they're a small sample of our casting considerations for an Original Trilogy reboot! We take a lighter approach to our discussion this week and look at who we would (or wouldn't) want to see cast if Disney were to remake the first three Star Wars movies. We also talk about the first confirmed casting for Episode VII, an interesting statement from EA's CFO, cover art for some upcoming books, and more!

Show Notes:

Discussion

It's not going to happen, but what if Disney decided to reboot the Original Trilogy? We discuss who we'd want cast in several of the major roles, based on the most important aspects of those key characters.
