I knew a few things but it's good to see those early ideas and just how different things were. I really wish Lucas would have stuck to some of those ideas. The idea of the "balance" and "the chosen one" and a virgin birth and making Anakin somewhat above human (like a Jesus) were all the wrong direction IMO.

I think he'd also make a phenomenal "scoundrel." Whether a Han or Lando type or a more evil leaning bounty hunter type. He could pull of either of those really well. Like if Hondo ever had a kid. The Rock should play Hondo's bastard son.

Haha yeah the Rock as Zeb could work. Kind of like that wrestler that place that one dude in Guardians of the Galaxy pretty well.
