The large drawback with not recasting is that it creates issues for the entire materials being churned out that takes place within the New Republic period. Luke and Leia had been large offers on the time, and something involving Jedi or politics would naturally characteristic the 2 of them. With out recasting, the one two selections are to do what The Mandalorian did by placing a CGI masks over Mark Hamill’s face utilizing AI to generate his voice or go the Ahsoka route, the place Senator Leia is talked about however by no means proven as a result of she’s conveniently busy with one thing else.
If I’m being frank, each selections suck. Star Wars ought to go together with a 3rd selection and replica Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds. That’s proper, Paramount recast Spock but once more. No Polar Specific-looking Leonard Nimoys for Star Trek.
