Star Wars Episode 7: 5 Canon-Friendly Casting Choices

2. Mandy Patinkin as Kyle Katarn

url-5 Now you gamers out there aren€™t going to tell me you€™ve never dreamed of seeing Kyle Katarn on the big screen done properly? And I€™m sure Mandy Patinkin could do it as properly as can be done. His work on Homeland shows that he€™s got the charisma and hard edge (not to mention the beard) to pull off the Stormtrooper-turned-special agent-turned-Jedi Master in his later years. And just look at his sword fight from The Princess Bride. Surely picking up a lightsaber would come easy to the man who played Inigo Montoya, no matter which hand he held it in?
