Ian McKellen...Shia LaBeouf...Joel McHale...No, they aren't being cast for Episode VII. Rather, they're a small sample of our casting considerations for an Original Trilogy reboot! We take a lighter approach to our discussion this week and look at who we would (or wouldn't) want to see cast if Disney were to remake the first three Star Wars movies. We also talk about the first confirmed casting for Episode VII, an interesting statement from EA's CFO, cover art for some upcoming books, and more!
