What actors would you cast in the roles of Jedi Knights (assuming it were still cool to be a Jedi Knight)? Here's a run down of some of my choices (if you can guess which ones aren't serious considerations but just jokes put down for amusement, you win a cookie) -
1) Eric Bana
2) Gerard Butler
3) Val Kilmer
4) Jeff Goldblum
5) Dolph Lundgren
6) Ron Perlman
7) All of the non-Hobbit and non-Saruman players of Lord of the Rings
8) Peter Weller
9) Damien Lewis
10) Thomas Jane
11) Keith David
12) Kurt Russell
13) Tom Selleck
14) Charlton Heston
15) Clancy Brown
16) Peta Wilson
And, at one point, I might have considered offering a light saber to the late Christopher Reeve, but he probably would have turned it down.

Why not dream up a cast list for a live-action version of Knights of the Old Republic? (No, it'll never happen, but I can dream...) Since no one has suggested any women so far, I'll go for Kate Backinsale as Bastila. It's about time we saw a female Jedi in a leading role!

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

I honestly think Michelle Yeoh would have made a wonderful Jedi. She has the elegance and above all, the maturity, to make a very convincing performance. A fully fledged Jedi should appear calm, graceful and wise ~ and I think Michelle Yeoh could pull this off beautifully.
And she's a beautiful woman too.

Helena, Peta Wilson was in the first list, so there was at least one woman so far.
Anyway,
yeah, Kate Beckinsale and Michelle Yeoh. Also
Burnaby's own Carrie-Anne Moss
Jennifer Garner
Judy Dench
My mom.

Hey there, civ. Haven't seen you around for a while. Is it just a coincidence, or are people starting to drift back to this forum now that certain members have left?
Anyway, you're right about Peta Wilson - I must have misread it as Peter. Michelle Yeoh is an excellent idea as well.

I'll support Michelle Yeoh, and maybe her sparring partner from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Would you all accept Carrie-Anne Moss, Kristanna Loken, Selma Blair and/or Lucy Lawless as Lady Jedi Knights?
