Would you prefer Luke, Leia and Han as main characters or cameos?

I think having them appear in small cameos would be ideal. Since there is already some canon content that is out that touches on what they were doing after the events of RotJ I think they have to address them to a certain degree, but I would want the show to primarily focus on developing new characters.

 

i'm happy with a mix. Solo taught me i have sufficient tolerance for recasting and i do want to see what they're up to in this era.
but i'm also okay with them not being the total focus. maybe we sorta follow Luke and just now and then see Han and Leia.
or maybe Lando is a main character, who connects will his old pals now and then but has new adventures with the new cast peoples.

or! i want this to be about Sloane and Brendol and the Outer Regions. bring it on! : D

the only thing for i really don't want this to be about, is Ben.
yeah, i just said that. me. XD

 

Definitely as main characters because they didnt really give any of them proper send offs .

 

Let new characters take central stage in this one. If it's OT3 again, it would limit creativity, take any tension away (we know where they'll end up) and would also make a lot of people angry again due to casting, portrayal and expectation. So just let the past die and leave the OT3 to cameos.

 

How do you propose to do that? With CGI or recasting?

 

I don't want to see them in this. I for my part liked the main cast of R1 for example, same goes for Ahsoka and Qi'ra and I'm quite content that they can again come up with new likable characters, so no re-cast needed.

 

Either they go all in or they don't use them at all. I don't like this cameo stuff. If this series relies on old characters to be a success, then it's not worth it after all. Create new characters with interesting characteristics.

 

They tried cgi in R1 and recasting in Solo. It was fine by me, but apparently a lot of "fans" didn't like that.

Ahsoka went through a ton of character development in both the Clone Wars and Rebels (plus the book, but I haven't read that yet). Qi'ra was a well-designed love interest for Han, or she wouldn't have worked. In R1 most of the cameos were fan-service. OT3 in the new show could (Bestshould) be this kind of fanservice cameos as well.

 

I would really love to see more Luke before he went all hermit on us though but I agree on the whole cameo thing. They don't even have to de-age him that much judging by how he looked on Crait.

Just slap some make up on him à la Ego in GotG 2 and you're golden.

 

I'm one of those people. I've lived through Rogue One and a weird 2009 chocolate commercial with Audrey Hepburn in it and to be honest, I'm not really sure about resurrecting more dead actors through motion capture. This phenomenon is in a very weird moral and legal grey area as we're essentially asking dead people for their likeness and it's pretty hard to get a response from a person that's, you know, dead. For me this feels iffy.

 

i agree. and it didn't even absolutely need to be Tarkin either.
the fact that it was purely for fan service also makes me feel squicky about it.

 

That Audrey Hepburn thing convinced me, that it can be done with cgi, if necessary. Still, I'd rather they didn't make the show about Han, Luke and Leia. The franchise desperately needs to move away from them.

 

That commercial from 2015? That one was done really masterfully. But to be fair, she didn't have a "speech role"

 

Yeah, that one. The technology is good enough for a cameo, but will probably be to expensive to make several 40+ minute episodes with, say, young Carrie Fisher. For now at least. As for the voice, they can have a similar one and people would hardly notice.

 

I don't think they would have decided to make a real-life series if they want to use the OT. The OT is more likely to return in Star Wars: Resistance.
