[Trago]

Oh wow

GREAT cast!

Great for continuity too!

 

[UnpopularBlargh]

Sung Kang!

 

[Y2Kev]

Oh, what a nice surprise. I thought this was cancelled. I am looking forward to the prequel trilogy memories coming back lol.

Does Ewan McGregor age?

 

[Deleted member 68874]

So hyped for Hayden!

 

[hwalker84]

That cast!!!

 

[Osahi]

That's a great looking cast.

Really hope it's good.

 

[Blader]

Owen returns

 

[Anoregon]

I can't believe I'm actually kind of excited (well, at least interested) to see how Christensen does as Anakin with material not written/directed by Lucas.

 

[Arex]

Han got isekai-ed to Star Wars universe I see..

 

[Spectromixer]

can't wait

 

[YolkFolk]

No Maul then.

Having said that they haven't added JEJ.

 

[Galava]

So Joel and Bonnie are Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen right? I think those were the actors from ep2 and 3.

Indira might be an inquisitor as well

 

[Deleted member 32822]

Aunt Berry and Uncle Owen return!

 

[Blackthorn]

Big year for Sung Kang!

Love to see family succeed.

 

[mister.metronome]

Glad to see Bonnie getting some work!

 

[PSOreo]

Really excited they've added the same Aunt Berru and Uncle Owen actors.

 

[Xion385]

That cast!!!

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

100%. Would be shocked if they weren't considering when this takes place.

 

[oriic]

Justice for Han = Put the guy in a Star Wars series. :D

 

[StreetsAhead]

Really curious to see how Hayden is used.

 

[xyla]

I would have never bet money on seeing Hayden come back as Vader. Cool to see him get another chance in that role though.

Great casting anyways. Hope it's all worth it.

 

[jph139]

Benny Safdie is one of those "uhh wait why is he in a Star Wars movie??" type casting choices.

I'm interested though, would have been a huge opportunity loss not to do an Obi-Wan series.

 

[Schlorgan]

 

[Enthus]

Kumail could be an imposing villain with his current physique lmao

 

[Kinthey]

Kumail joined the Disney club

 

[Patitoloco]

That's a damn good cast.

Also, hell yeah Han is alive

 

[AuthenticM]

Han knows the force. That's how he survived Statham.

 

[Galava]

Is Rupert gonna be Thrawn? :o

 

[YolkFolk]

So Joel and Bonnie are Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen right? I think those were the actors from ep2 and 3.

Indira might be an inquisitor as well

Hopefully we see some tensions between them and Obi Wan to help show why there was the tensions between them in ANH.

 

[entremet]

Hayden is a good actor. Now I hope he gets better material.

 

[PSOreo]

Kumail could be an imposing villain with his current physique lmao

Glad he's getting more Disney roles. They must have been impressed with his work onThe Eternals.

 

[Runner]

i can't beleive that they got so many people just to play one guy

 

[Vonocourt]

O'Shea Jackson Jr going from being a Batman nerd in a movie, to fighting Ghidorah, and now he's on Tatooine.

 

[kurahador]

Any rumors when this show will take place?

 

[Galava]

[Christian]

Kumail gonna stay swole as fuck for this.

 

[NunezL]

A Safdie Brother being part of Star Wars is the weirdest thing ever lol

 

[CorKas64]

I hope the dialogs cheesy like the prequels so we get new memes. Sorry not sorry.

 

[Richiek]

Owen and Beru and back!

 

[Deleted member 11637]

That cast had me hyped even before I noticed Joel Fuckin' Edgerton is coming to play.

Prequel gang rise up!

 

[jaekeem]

My boy Han in a galaxy far far away

 

[Falchion]

Fuck yes, can't wait for this!

 

[Chibs]

HAN LIVES!

also if he's alive again in the F&F movies, I'm not exactly up to date on those, so just let me have this.
