Star Wars’ reluctance to recast Luke and Leia is holding the franchise back (www.gamesradar.com)

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.

Maybe we can write some new cannon that doesn't suck. Nah let's just make Chris Pratt play Luke, everyone loves Chris Pratt.

I would rather someone who is a little less known and doesn't already have multiple major pop culture characters.
