Star Wars 7: 6 Perfect Casting Rumours (And Who They Could Play)
5. Jesse Plemons As Ben Skywalker
Many people were first introduced to Jesse Plemons back in 2006 during his run on Friday Night Lights but it wasn't until his psychotic turn as Todd on Breaking Bad that he was burnt into our brains. It was with this role in the final season of the show that he would live on as one of the creepiest characters on a TV show. With his portrayal as Todd, Plemons shattered the high school kid goofball he had established with his previous characterization and has easily moved up as potential young shining star in the business. With the new Star Wars trilogy, it has been highly speculated and assumed that a new batch of young Skywalker's will dominate the films to come and carry the franchise forward to the next generation of fans. Once of those next generation Skywalker's is the son of Luke Skywalker, Ben. Ben Skywalker is also the son of Mara Jade who was also introduced in Zahn's hand of Thrawn trilogy of books. It only seems fitting that the Skywalker line continues forward with a son of Lukes and a grandson to Anakin Skywalker. Regardless of the direction that the new trilogy takes, it will be enjoyable to see the power of Anakin and nobleness of Luke combined into this one character. Although Plemons has proven to be a talented actor, whether or not he could be the face of a potential new Star Wars franchise is entirely up for debate as he has not proven to be a leading man just yet.
