I think it would be cool either way...  I'd like to see new faces, but having
people like Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman in it would be awesome, too!
Hmmm... Dustin Hoffman would make a great Anakin!  Or Obi-Wan... I don't know
how old they're supposed to be in the Clone Wars, but let's face it: Dustin
Hoffman would be able to do just about any age!  Maybe even Sean Connery for
one of them.  Come to think of it, is the Emporer supposed to be in it?  I 
mean, of course he's there, but is he going to be a major character that's seen
a lot?  Hoffman would be good for that role, too...  Maybe they'll have to have
him do more than one part, like Mel Brooks in Spaceballs...
But I will be _PISSED_ beyond belief if they take that dipshit little Mac kid
(Culkin or something) from Home Alone as Luke.  Or as anyone else, for that
matter.

C'mon, do we want this little brat?  I just hope they don't even consider him!!
