I can see Irons all blue.

But who would you cast as Mara? Or Pellaeon? Or Kaarde? I’d want Anthony Hopkins for C’boath.

I’d resolve the Enterprise v. Star Destroyer issue once and for all.

> I see a character study of an old, slightly bitter, Luke Skywalker. Despite Yoda’s training in emotional stability, the young Luke could never really handle the fame of being the hero of the revolution, nor could the slightly older Luke really deal with the decline of that fame. He feels slightly used by Obi-Wan and Yoda, who manipulated him into being their weapon to strike at the Emperor, and claims to be glad that the Force no longer seems to be strong in him.  
> Jealous remarks about the happiness of Han Solo not only show Luke’s bitterness and failure to build a happy life for himself also reveal that maybe Luke’s feelings about Leia never quite resolved to loving sibling. Luke’s only companion at this point is R2D2, who clearly sees Luke’s downward spiral, but R2’s proddings to Luke to get out and interact with others and enjoy the safe galaxy he helped create only fall on deaf ears (“what does a droid know?”).

:eek:

That sounds like a horrifically miserable “art-house” movie, jsut with Luke Skywalker in it.
