Right about what?

Akshay Kumar would make a good Lando methinks :
Loved him in Khakee. He has swag.
You can look it up, watch it or shut up.

Beat Takeshi would make a better Lando than an Obi-Wan. That is, if we're willing to have an older Lando.
I think I'd take Watanabe Ken for Obi-Wan, Seo Jin-Ho for Leia, Wang Lee-Hom or Jay Chou for Luke, maybe HYDE for Han, Salman Khan for Darth Vader (such a great voice cannot be wasted), and Abe Sadao for Threepio. I'm assuming we could just buy a remote-controlled Artoo that was made in China.
If only Mako were still alive--he would have been the perfect Obi-Wan. (Or Yoda, if he just did all of his scenes sitting down.)
Could you recommand a movie to me where he has that more joyfull loud mannerism and swag?
Since that was once an idea, howwoul it look now according to you? Only asian actors can be picked and we are going to assume they speak ever language spoken in asia so taht won't be an issue. Only actars that are curreltly alive count.
Emperor Palpatine palyed by Liu Ye
Kenobi played by Takeshi Kitano
Luke Skywalker played by Soong Il-Kook
I will do some more later.

About "the start of the Rebel Alliance", Pablo Hidalgo said, "The TFU version isn't canon." You have no idea how happy that makes me!
Is Rahm Kota still canon? That guy is awesome.

The whole back story is dumb. If Obi-Wan had any serious plans with Luke, he would have raised him himself and, more importantly, started his training at the very early age.
I have two explanations for this thing. One is simply being a plot hole. The other is that Obi-Wan and Yoda knew that Luke could never defeat the Emperor and therefore they planned to use Luke just to trigger Anakin's return who would then destroy the Emperor (which is what eventually happened in ROTJ).
It kinda makes sense. Maybe he wanted to avoid him becoming arrogant because his powers manifest to early. If he was just a regular dude who discovered the Force all of the sudden he would have more appreciation for it.
Instead of growing up an knowing that he was special from the beginning.
He wants to be an imp pilot making sure he is discovered... Does Owen know that he is Force sensitive?
Or he became an abusive parent. Was there a Kenobi backup plan? Would Kenobi take on the fatherly role or he had other potential parent just in case?

Guess we'll see soon enough if the Weisman curse holds true. He lost Gargoyles at season 3 (coincidentally, the show was canceled after said third season), and two much beloved cartoons he's helmed - Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice - were prematurely canceled.
What curse? He's hardly the only showrunner to get screwed over by the suits in charge.
Probably a ratings. It won't happen anytime soon because it's Star Wars.
