Sounds like a good cast.

I'm ok with this. Hopefully, we'll see a different side of the actor. No news on Vesemir I notice. I know a lot of people are eager to see Mark Hamill in the role, but I think he's a bit too old for it now truth be told. They probably ideally want someone with physical presence like James Cosmo tbh, but given he played the Lord Commander in GOT I suspect they wouldn't want to go that route too much.

Hopefully they also get someone to write a more coherent story for next season..

If hammill is anywhere near as expensive as I'd think, they'd be better off investing that money into better cgi IMHO.

(and as much as I like luke's skywalker, let's be real here - hammill is not... exactly the best actor out there)
