I laid out a very specific scenario of what happened in this history. Work with it. There's no ASBs, nothing absurd. Just someone working on their favorite script, dying, and leaving it to someone else to take up. Do not debate whether this would happen, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 dollars.

Beat me to it.
I was going to say that...
Either of those two would be good. Maybe Patrick Stewart? He'd have a background in sci-fi - that's if TNG had appeared with him as Captain in this TL, which may be unlikely.
I do like the idea though, of Ian McKellen (no 'r', by the way), saying
"I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced."
in the ominous Gandalf style we've all come to know and love. The same style as "In the common tongue it says, "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."

i understand. i'm just saying, those are the facts.
but, for the sake of the TL, the facts dont matter. i'll play, but i need to think about this for a moment.
Quentin Tarantino as director. Angelina as Leia. Keanu Reeves as Luke. Jack Nicholson as Han. Some Hollywood Legend as Obi Wan. No clue for Vader or the C3PO.
After the success of The Matrix, MGM jumped on the science fiction band wagon by filming the "Star Wars" script that had been knocking around Hollywood for years. They decided to cast as many big-name actors as possible to help box office revenue.
Unable to imagine any science fiction movie that does not star Keanu Reeves, the producers insist that he be cast as Luke Skywalker. Jodi Foster signed on as Princes Lea when Drew Barrymore backed out at the eleventh hour.
Other cast:
Tom Cruise as Han Solo
Jack Nicholson as the voice of Yoda
Viggo Mortensen as Darth Vader
Sean Connery as Obi Wan
Steve Buscemi is comic relief as the voice of C3P0
Jeremy Irons as Grand Moff Tarken
Kevin Spacey agreed to play a cameo as Uncle Owen and John Travolta had a walk on part as Greedo (Travolta's dance scene in the cantina was cut from the release version of the film under a cloud of controversy).

And who do you propose? If they're putting a lot of effort into the movie being big, then Luke won't be an unknown... if not Reeves, I could see another big name star like Bloom or DiCaprio playing the lead.
Jack Nicholson as Yoda is priceless but realistic.
I Think Obi Wan would best be played by Liam Neeson. I think he's the only actor who could pull it off

Who said Han had to be white. Will Smith could be a good Han. I can totally see Johny Depp as Han. That guy who played Eragon could be Luke. Keira Knightly could be Leia she can pull of the regal look.
Gah! NOOO!!!!!
Then again, Jeremy Irons was practically playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in that movie so he could do the real thing.
My two other suggestions:
Nathan Fillion as Han Solo
Michael Clarke Duncan as Darth Vader (suit AND voice)
Hey, I like the Darth suggestion there.
Just think, he could have been playing Darth Vader, instead of the Kingpin...
What role would Daniel Craig be good in? In OTL, he's now Bond, as well as having one of the major roles in "The Golden Compass" (or Northern Lights, as I like to call it, since - you know - THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK IS CALLED).
How about Tarkin? (He doesn't necessarily have to be a grey-haired old guy, and Craig kinda has the Tarkin look...)
