I've been considering how one might make these movies.  I've had thoughts, but my thoughts I suspect would be upsetting the 75% of those who frequent this forum.  My thoughts involved a mini-series rather than a movie.  This could allow for greater length and depth, and would also keep the canonicity of the episodes lower so as not to conflict too much with both the OT purists and the EU lovers.  It would be live-action as opposed to CGI, but we are presented with difficulties of old, wrinkly actors.  Well, I just say recast them.  Again, this is a television mini-series, so it could be disregarded by those who don't like anyone touching what seems too precious to them.  I find it interesting that Nathan Hamill, who resembles his father, is about the right age to play Luke Skywalker in the timeframe of the Thrawn trilogy.  I haven't thought of suitable replacements for the other actors, but I humorously think to myself that I once knew a guy whose first name escapes me, but his last name was Norton.  I remember looking through a People magazine showing actors when they were younger and asked the reader to guess who they were.  One picture immediately struck me as 20 year-old Norton, causing me to laugh, as it was truly Harrison Ford.  I wish I could find Norton, as he might pull off a respectable Han Solo :)
