Yeah, but that's like comparing a Fisher Price Playmobile with a Mustang. Are they both cars? yes, but one is infinitely more fun.
I was doing a /sneed there but this is a terrible analogy and you should feel bad.
A Fisher Price
Playmobile COZY COUPE YOU UNCULTURED SWINE is something you can have fun with, is enjoyed by the target audience, delivers quality for the money, older people are able to experience joy by playing with younger relatives, and is of sufficient quality to be shared with future generations.
Episode 9 is none of these things.
A more adapt analogy is "A Ford
Mustang Pinto with a hard kick with a steel toe boot directly your unprotected balls by an NFL kicker"
I think the guy who plays Aerion Brightflame in the Dunk and Egg show could visually pull off being Luke. Or go with the conventional hire Sebastian Stan route
Honestly with the magic of digital effects, keto diets, and Disney's digitzombie technology, 15 years ago
fuuuuuuuuck Hamil wasn't too old have been in.... as much of an action film as the OG films were. Fisher and Ford however...
But that sort of removes the charm of Dark Empire which is it being a direct follow up to RotJ.
I find that the audience is very willing to accept a recast.
Hard disagree on that, especially in this case, but I also don't feel the need to argue the point since it's beyond moot.
