7 Game of Thrones Actors Who Could Defect To Star Wars
7. Kate Dickie (Lysa Arryn)
Before Kate Dickie appeared in GoT as the lactating widow Lysa Arryn she made her name in theatre and television before bagging her first lead role as a security camera operator with a troubled past in Andrea Arnold's grim Glasgow set voyeuristic drama Red Road. Though she only appeared in a handful of episodes split between series 1 and 4 of GoT Dickie's portrayal of the Lady of the Vale was one of the more memorable ambiguously sinister characters, in a series replete with its fair share of ambiguous sinister types. After being "made to fly" through the Moon Door by her new husband Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish her schedule would permit her to make the leap to the Star Wars franchise. Who She Could Play: Female alien, Sith. Dickie has the angular features and expressive face that almost gives her the appearance of a female Joker. Were Warners ever considering a re-gendered feminised Joker then she would no doubt be the perfect choice for the role. Let's presume that a sub-plot involving some kind of Sex-Reversal Ray isn't part of Warners plans though and instead concentrate on how Dickie could fit into Disney's new Star Wars universe. As mentioned her interesting looks would provide the perfect foundation for being transformed into an otherworldly creature. Its easy to imagine her channelling the darker aspects of Arryn into a villainous Sith character or everything from a Stately senator type to the kind of alien to be found in the backstreets and bars of Mos Eisley.
As well as the odd article, I apply my "special mind" to scriptwriting for Comics, Films and Games... Oh and I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flow'rs, I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
