That all depends on when shooting began and ended. She was born Oct. 21, 1956 so she would have been 20 upon first release of SW in theaters in May 1977. Likely 19 through most of principal photography.

do we even have to ask this question?

Harrison Ford is in the original Trilogy, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher Nuff said.

Luke was more indentifiable with, just like mark hamill instead of HaYDEN As Anakin.

Harrison Ford just exemplified coolness!

Carrie Fisher was hot, remember back then? ( although natalie portman is'nt bad either)

Their is a reason why the original versions of the original trilogy are called the immortal trilogy or the holy trilogy, and compared to mythology, epic fable, and folktale, and compared to tolkien's lord of the rings. Lucas has already admitted tolkien's influence on star wars and willow.

“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.

Obviously Tolkien had an influence on Willow, but I think that Star Wars was more influenced by old World War 2 movies and old Samurai movies. Mostly Akira Kurosawa's movies. Watch Tora! Tora! Tora! and The Hidden Fortress and you'll see many similarities.

Mark Hamil rocked as the Joker in the Batman animated series.

I also thought he did a great job as the Joker.
