for Old Ben Kenobi in RECASTING STAR WARS

RECASTING STAR WARS

You are not allowed to cast living actors who have previously been cast in the same roles. If you do these casting suggestions will be removed. The ethnicity and gender of the actor for the character doesn't matter. However their age does. They need to be appropriate to their characters age at the time. There will be different roles created for characters who were recast for different ages. I.e 2 for Anakin and 2 for Obi Wan. Signs of users showing a bigotry towards casting suggestions for characters with actors of a different gender/ethnicity by consistently downvoting these types of suggestions will be banned from contributing to the story. Thank you for taking your time to read this and have fun. Try to be left field but logical in your suggestions. That way it makes things more interesting and separates this new star wars cast interpretation from the old. Please Note: This stories poster credit goes to Adam-Blakemore-Strelka.
