As we all know, the original Star Wars was cast primarily of unknowns to cut down production costs (with the exception of Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness). However, leaked documents from the Skywalker Ranch have recently shown on George Lucas' "wish list" for casting. One can only speculate how popular the movie would have been had it come together as originally planned.
Luke Skywalker: Gary Coleman
Ben Kenobi: Yul Brynner
Princess Leia: Meryl Streep
Han Solo: Burt Reynolds
Tarkin: John Wayne
Darth Vader (voice): Richard Burton
C3P0 (voice): Andre The Giant
An additional character, Sassy Skywalker, was believed to have been created especially for Goldie Hawn, but was cut due to her filming commitments for 'Private Benjamin'.
