Sadly Frink, it only took me two tries to remember his name: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ki_Adi_Mundi

I was joking....this thread just struck me as strange.

Um... Mark Hamill?

I've always thought Jet Li would make an awesome Jedi.

Was Han Solo a Jedi?

I choose Kevin Spacey playing Christopher Walken playing Han Solo.

Outside the OT, Jason Court has got to be my favorite actor portraying a Jedi. He wasn't the greatest actor, but it worked. Kyle Katarn was a friggin baddass.

He was still cool in the other games, but Dark Forces II was epic. Shame Star Wars video games haven't been as fun since.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

That's awesome, would you happen to know where the original Walken one? Haven't found it yet...

What do you mean by the "original Walken?"  It was a Saturday Night Live sketch.

RE: The best actors for the Jedi

I'm still not sure what you mean.  The link I gave shows the sketch in its entirety, IIRC.  Doesn't matter if it is on youtube or through the link I gave.  All I remember is what is in that one video (Spacey as Walken, Hammond as Dryfuss, and Spacey as Matthau).

If there is a sketch where Walken plays a stormtrooper, I'm not familiar with it.

Almost, Finkaroo.  The original one also has Spacey as Jack Lemmon auditioning for Chewbacca.

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

Morgan Freeman would've made an awesome jedi, maybe he could've played Mace Windu instead of Samuel. L 'I'm here to provide a demographic that wouldn't come anyways' Jackson

STAR WARS EPISODE 2.8 - known as Greenpenguino's best Star wars sequel script, EVA!!!! SEQUEL SEQUEL!

I'm the forums younger clone of TVs' Frink. Except sillier and more handsomer...

Which I couldn't find on Youtube.

Kevin Spacey's impersonation is obviously up there, but I couldn't find the one with Walken. Would it be that one sketch of whatever where Chris is in a stormtrooper suit and sort of winks at the camera?

As I said, haven't seen it, would really love to.

Christopher Walken almost WAS Han Solo...proof: http://ramascreen.com/sly-stallone-and-christopher-walken-almost-played-han-solo-in-star-wars/

Can you imagine the images: Walken talking with Jabba in the SE, Walken with Chewbacca at his side, Walken in carbonite, Walken helping the frickin Ewoks...you get the idea.

And Rambo in the forest of Endor? That would've been amazingly epic and hilarious at the same time.
