    Since Star Wars is pretty fresh on everybody's minds with the story about the Star Wars geeks lining up at the wrong theater (thread of the year contender), which actors would you cast if the original trilogy were made today, assuming cost is not a factor. I think that part of the charm of the original trilogy was that the actors were mostly unknowns, with the exception of Sir Alec. Who would you want for:

    Luke
    Han
    Leia
    Obi-Wan
    Lando
    Emperor Palpatine
    voice of Yoda
    voice of C3P0
    voice of Darth Vader

    Will Smith isn't cool enough to be Lando.

    I'd still cast James Earl Jones as the voice of Vader.

    Makin' your way on Tatooine takes everything you've got
    Takin' a break from moisture farming sure would help alot
    Wouldn't you like to use the force?
    Sometimes you wanna go with Ben to be a Jedi Knight
    Not to the dark side, to the light
    You wanna go to Dabobah where you can watch objects fly
    You wanna be a knight of the Jedi

    The Star Wars Cantina (Copacabana)
    by Mark Jonathan Davis

    Her name was Leia, she was a princess,
    with a danish on each ear, and Darth Vader drawing near.
    So Artoo Detoo, found Ben Kenobi.
    He'd have to put the Death Star plans, into the Rebellion's hands.
    So Luke and Obi-Wan had to get to Alderaan,
    so they stopped into Mos Eisley to have a drink with Han...


    At the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a!
    Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    Music and blasters, and old Jedi Masters, at the Star Wars...

    His name was Solo, he was a pilot
    With a blaster at his side and a smile twelve parsecs wide,
    There with Chewbacca , he was a Wookiee.
    They met with Luke and Obi-Wan, about the Millenium Falcon.
    Docking Bay Ninety-four, Stormtroopers at the door.
    With a flash of Ben's lightsaber, now there's an arm on the floor...

    At the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a!
    Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    Music and blasters, and old Jedi Masters, at the Star Wars...

    His name was Yoda, he was a muppet.
    Darth Vader was so bad, and by the way he's Luke's dad.
    Luke kissed his sister, his hand got cut off.
    In that galaxy far, far away, Luke has had a lousy day.
    Boba Fett was so mean, Jabba had bad hygiene.
    Why didn't they all just relax, back on Tatooine...

    At the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a!
    Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina,
    Music and blasters, and old Jedi Masters, at the Star Wars...
