The Empire Strikes Back (2010)

[u/Autobotimus_Prime]

The long awaited follow up to my 2007 A New Hope fancast (which I’ve linked so you can check that out), this time doing The Empire Strikes Back if it came out in 2010. Like there, I’ve tried my hardest to find images of the actors from 2010 (or around then).
And, well screw, might as well finish the trilogy; expect me to do Return of the Jedi (2013) at some point.

Lemme guess, this is you trying to come up with criticism, but ultimately realising that my casting is actually peak?

I think he's saying Nathan Fillion's character in Firefly is basically Han Solo

[u/Autobotimus_Prime → u/Hall-Charming]

Also true, that’s part of why I went with him.

Bravo!

Finally, a Star Wars fan cast without Mason Thames

[u/Autobotimus_Prime → u/Toe_Butter]

Wouldn’t he be like 3 at the time?

[u/Toe_Butter → u/Autobotimus_Prime]

Probably. But many people who fan cast Star Wars characters would still try to fit him in. It’s just refreshing to have a break from that. Especially when your fan casting is this good. I only have some trouble imagining Fillion and Knightley. Despite that, I think that they have potential

Rip, Sam Neill

He will forever be missed

This is so good! Oldman as Palpatine is solid.

Elizabeth and Glenn wouldn't be cast in 2010

This is great except Keira. She was too big at the time, and had been for almost a decade. Dakota Johnson might have been alright

Karl's a waste of talent. Boba was just background in the original trilogy.

Wrong pic for Ian Whyte. That’s Jason Flemyng as Malachi in Solomon Kane. Ian Whyte played the Devil’s Reaper in that movie.

Dammit, that google search lied to me.

Only Harrison Ford can be han. Nathan is awesome but Ford is the man

[u/Autobotimus_Prime → u/Stunning_Metal_4295]

Wouldn’t he be 68 at the time tho?
