All 9 Major Star Wars Characters Recast in the Franchise so Far

Simply copying how an original actor looked isn’t enough when someone takes on the same role. A successful recast needs a performance that feels truly new and explains why the character works in a different time or format. This can be risky, because fans are often very attached to the original actor’s portrayal. However, some shows and movies have proven it can work – when the new actor captures the core of the character while also bringing their own unique take to it.
