They really ought to film the Thrawn trilogy by Tim Zahn, because the books are excellent and in the same tradition as the films of high adventure and good fun. Either rotoscope the likenesses of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher et al, or recast.

I'd love a straight adaptation of the books (obviously), but I'd very much prefer they recast our heroes. If Kirk, Spock, and Scotty can be recast, then so can OT Star Wars. In fact, as I've said before, I think the casting of Star Trek 2009 was expertly handled. No reason Star Wars couldn't be handled just as well. To me, finding some weird way to work in the original actors would be distracting.
