8 Dream Star Wars Castings That NEED To Happen
5. Sebastian Stan Would Be A Perfect Luke Skywalker
This one is about as straight forward as it gets.
Why should Sebastian Stan be handed the keys to Luke Skywalker's X-Wing for all subsequent live-action appearances said iconic Jedi Master ever makes? Because he is the absolute spitting image of the legendary Mark Hamill.
And with the long-time Luke Skywalker actor himself even noting (via Esquire) recently how he would be happy if Lucasfilm were to recast the role going forward for stories involving the character post-Return of the Jedi, handing the green lightsaber over to Stan makes all the sense of the world.
Sure, the de-ageing technology used in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett was fine. But surely it's cheaper, simpler, and just generally less jarring to have an equally talented lad take up the Luke mantle without slapping a digital Hamill face on them.
The Bucky Barnes star has also left the door open for Lucasfilm to cast him as the most famous Jedi of all time, telling Esquire just last year that you can "never say never" when it comes to him taking over from Hamill in the role.
The deepfake experiment was cute, Lucasfilm. Now quit messing around and give that man a cloak!
