According to Screen Rant, the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter — the franchise's first theatrical film since 2019, set to arrive in 2027 — has assembled a cast of entirely new characters, drawing a definitive line under nearly five decades of saga storytelling built around a handful of iconic names and bloodlines.
Why This Is the Biggest Fancasting Conversation in the Galaxy
For Star Wars fans, the casting game has always been deeply personal. Whether it's imagining who should play a young Han Solo, recasting the prequel era with a fresh eye, or dreaming up who might voice a droid, the franchise has fueled more fancasting debate than almost any other property in pop culture history. Starfighter changing the formula entirely — stepping away from Skywalkers, Solos, and Organas — throws the doors wide open for a new generation of dream casting. Who fills the archetype of the roguish pilot? The wise mentor? The ruthless villain? These are exactly the kinds of questions the myCast community was built to answer.
This also raises the stakes for the existing fan cast stories already living on the platform. With the official film charting a new course, fans have a rare opportunity to shape the conversation before a single frame has been screened.
What myCast Fans Have Already Voted For
The myCast community has been building out their Star Wars dream casts across multiple stories, and the results reveal just how passionate — and specific — this fanbase gets.
Over in the Star Wars story, which covers 16 roles, Alan Tudyk dominates with 8 votes for PROXY, which honestly makes a lot of sense — Tudyk has already proven his Star Wars credentials voicing K-2SO in Rogue One, and fans clearly want more of him in the galaxy. Jimmy Smits picks up 3 votes for Bail Organa (a role he already owns, canonically speaking), while Gal Gadot earns 3 votes for Shaak Ti and Jason Isaacs gets the nod for Captain Ozzik Sturn — a choice that makes tremendous sense given how effortlessly Isaacs plays imperious authority.
The leans into the prequel era, and fans here are largely sticking with real-world logic: leads with 2 votes for Obi-Wan Kenobi (again, the man has the role on lock), and pulls 2 votes for Palpatine — an inspired choice that would have given us a completely different flavor of galactic menace. as Count Dooku is another fan pick that practically writes itself; the man was born to wear a dark cloak and sneer magnificently.
