SPECULATION Max Von Sydow Is Obi-Wan?

Please God no.
MvS is playing "Montross."

 

i think that that could make sense, actually. any pictures of him with a beard recently? that would put this one away pretty quick lol

 

Straight to Nopelandia!

If they wanted a brief moment with ghost Obi, it would have been mo-capped into cg.

 

Obi-Wan did gym in the 30 years between the OT and ST. I thought this too but they could bring Ewan back and use CGI to make him older.

 

We all miss that crazy old wizard, the embodiment of what a Jedi should be, but I don't think so. MVS will play a pivotal role but not a long term one, maybe Sifo Diyas, maybe Bobba Fett, but his influence or tool age will be significant for other characters, in my padawan opinion. He may become a character we all love, longing for more.

 

Banished to Never Never Land! Sooner have hologram Tupac show up as Mace Windu.

 

I think there is a lot of reasons this won't happen. McGreggor is alive he can be aged with make up, they can mo cap Guiness' likeness, or the most significant the writer of the script could have Yoda or Anakin share the info.

 

No!
I think MVS will either be the VO for Darth Plaguis or the "junkyard scrap dealer" rumored to be in the wrecked AT AT, not Rey(Daisy).

 

MVS can't be the VO for a sith unless there is more than the one voiced by Serkis.

The rumor that Rey takes the saber to an old cyborg has been awhile for weeks and I think the cyborg was connected to MVS long before SpoilerMan "leaked it."

 

NOOOOOOO!
I get that we're grasping at straws here in regards to MvS's character, but I can't even attempt to believe that JJ & friends world be that dumb/crazy/ballsy to actually try to bring back Obi-wan with some Alec Guiness look-alike hat trick.

 

Sheesh (or sheev) Id rather have him play Kenobi's brother than his Force Ghost.

MVS is 85...when Kenobi died 35 years before, I think his character was only supposed to be about 58 so it's more possible that he was his slightly older brother that remembers the Jedi taking his brother away from him.

 

But couldn't they just age Ewan like in Prometheus where they aged Guy Pearce. I think Yoda's force ghost will play a role instead. Also, it would just look weird for MVS to play him, even though MVS is a great actor. Well, he played Jesus so maybe he could pull it off.

 

I can't make it out but is that Obi Wan in the top right of the picture? Wild guess but maybe they're discussing the cinematography of the film here.

To me it would make sense to get an actor like Max Von Sydow to emulate Obi Wan's body language, they could go back over the face with CGI and get a voice actor who sounds like Alec Guinness, it's 100% possible to have Obi Wan convincingly star in TFA.

George Lucas and Bringing Dead Actors Back to Life

“He’s been buying up the film rights to dead movie stars in the hope of using computer trickery to put them all together in a movie, so you’d have Orson Welles and Barbara Stanwyck appear alongside today’s stars.”

“I’ve not been privy to any of Uncle George’s plans, but I’ve seen some amazing things done with classic movie stars by a few talented filmmakers, in terms of tests that pretty much told me, this is definitely going to become a reality for us movie-goers.”

 

I don't want my force ghosts to be REAL G-G-GHOSTS!

 

This was at the bottom of the article: "UPDATE: Movieline received word from Lucasfilm that this is a “false rumor.” You mean Mel Smith lied? How is that possible?"

Also, I'll quote myself when this idea was talked about in a different thread:
