Star Wars: Legacy of the Force film trilogy (2015 - 2019) fancast
by hatoan94vn | created - 08 Mar 2020 | updated - 18 Mar 2020 | PublicWhat if Lucasfilm had decided to adapt the novel series "Star Wars: Legacy of the Force" (written by Troy Denning, Aaron Allston and Karen Traviss) for Star Wars sequel trilogy rather than a cluster of films we got which is inconsistent and disjointed? Here is my ideal choice for the cast and crew of that trilogy. I hope that, with J. J. Abrams's direction and Dave Filoni's leading contribution to production, the entire trilogy would have become as successful as the original Star Wars trilogy made by George Lucas, given that the three films are released in 2015, 2017, and 2019, the same year as the actual products.
Update #1 (March 8, 2020): Rearrangement of list order along with some corrections.
Update #2 (March 9, 2020): Replaces Temuera Morrison with Jeremy Bulloch as Boba Fett, Nancy Brunning with Keri Russell as Ailyn Vel, and Keri Russell with Amanda Lawrence as Admiral Cha Niathal.
Update #3 (March 9, 2020): Replaces Jason Court with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kyle Katarn to match the character's age.
Update #4 (March 9, 2020): Replaces Sophia Lillis with Lily Rose-Depp as Mirta Gev to match the character's age.
Update #6 (March 18, 2020): Renames the character Allana Solo into Allana Ka Djo, as Allana's mother Tenel and her lover Jacen Solo are not married with each other.
Update #7 (March 18, 2020): Adds Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian into this fancast.
Update #8 (March 18, 2020): Edit the information, with Jeremy Irons as Darth Vectivus instead of Gilad Pellaeon. Adds Bill Nighy as Gilad Pellaeon into this fancast
