It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.
Yep that’s it. That is the one reason Star Wars is being held back.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Bake em away, toys.
