(Re-)casting Call

Too many movies have been re-made with a younger crop of actors. What if we could turn the tables and re-make those same movies with actors from an earlier era? The only criterion is that the actor has to be believable in the role.

Herewith our first attempt:

Star Wars

Evil Emperor........... Edward G. Robinson
Han Solo................ John Wayne
Darth Vader............ Boris Karloff
Luke Skywalker...... Jimmy Stewart
Princess Leia......... Gloria Talbott
C3PO.................... Peter Lorre
R2D2..................... Flipper
Lando Calrissian..... Humphrey Bogart
Jabba the Hutt........ Marlon Brando
Chewbacca............ n/a (he had no speaking lines)
Obi-Wan Kenobi..... Gregory Peck
Gov. Tarkin............ Vincent Price
Uncle Owen........... Hugh Beaumont
Aunt Veroo............ Barbara Billingsley
Yoda.................... Walter Brennan


Special mention not from the original trilogy:

Jar-Jar Binks....... Rodney Dangerfield
