27 Stars Who Were Almost One With the Force
The Star Wars universe is ever-expanding, and so is the list of actors who were almost a part of it. Here's who missed out on wielding a lightsaber.

- TriviaMark Hamill and Rian Johnson revealed at a BAFTA screening that Hamill asked to play a CG character in addition to his role as Luke Skywalker, saying that he had done it before (he had previously done CGI work for the computer game Squadron 42 (2026) (which is the separate solo campaign of Star Citizen)). In the film he plays Dobbu Scay, the character who puts money inside BB-8 in the Casino scenes.
- GoofsWhen Poe gets permission to leave the bridge and runs towards the X-Wing bay, several pilots on the bridge follow him, including the alien C'ai Threnalli. However, immediately after C'ai runs out of frame, there is a reaction shot of Finn with C'ai still standing at a console in the background.
- Quotes
Kylo Ren: I'll destroy her. And you. And all of it.
Luke Skywalker: No. Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you. Just like your father.

Featured review
Picking up where The Force Awakens left off, Rey meets Luke Skywalker and tries to convince him to help The Resistance. He is initially hesitant but eventually decides to train Rey in the way of The Force. However, Kylo Ren also wants to track down Skywalker, and uses Rey for that purpose. Meanwhile, The Resistance are locked in deadly battle with the First Order and, while they have some minor victories, it seems like a futile struggle.
I'm not generally a Star Wars fan but to my surprise I enjoyed Episode VII - The Force Awakens. It grabbed my attention from the word go and held it all the way through. A rollicking adventure with engaging characters. Moreover, the blending of the old characters and the new was very well done, with the feeling that the torch had been passed to the new generation.
Unfortunately, Episode VIII doesn't come close to the engagement, novelty and adventure of Episode VII. Its essentially one long action-drama, with little in the way of engagement or originality. The Rey-Kylo Ren relationship had potential but went nowhere new or interesting and was snuffed out pretty quickly. Them possibly working together held my attention but the intrigue was short-lived. The movie simply degenerated into action sequences after that.
On the upside, no need to waste my time on Episode IX (Or X, or XI, or...)...
