It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.
Seriously! I am so tired of watching events that keep happening always within the same 50 years or so. With a whole universe and the possibility of going backwards/forwards thousands of years just for fun, MORE Luke and Leia is just a nuisance at this point.
