Anakin Skywalker: Christian Slater
I think that works pretty well. Given that Sebastian Shaw played Anakin in Return of the Jedi, if I was casting a young Anakin it'd be a British actor.

Count Dooku: Christopher Lee
I always thought Terence Stamp would have been a good alternative Dooku.

Jango Fett: Tom Berenger
Good choice.



This might just do nobody any good.
Once again I've read "Tony Jay" as "Tony Jaa" and I want to see that version.

I would have gone with Christopher Lee as King Schultz for 1972 myself.
Not bad. But, I always looking for actors with similiar height. Lee was almost 2meter and Waltz was about 177cm. Finch,Hopkins and Waltz are all similiar height. You can put argument between Jamie Foxx and Sydney Poittier about height differnce. It is about 10cm between(Foxx 176,Poittier 187) but in 70's there really wasn't much black actors to play such role.



This might just do nobody any good.
I'd go with Fred Williamson as Django and Max Von Sydow as Schultz...

or, maybe too crazy but I'd love to see it: Klaus Kinski as Schultz.



Once again I've read "Tony Jay" as "Tony Jaa" and I want to see that version.
If you're wondering who Tony Jay is, he's the guy who did the voice of Judge Claude Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
