The only two I can remember offhand from Episode 4 were Peter Cushing and Alec Guiness, but it was years later until I learned that they had a long list of credits well before that movie. I don't even think James Earl Jones was all that well known at that point, and Dr Strangelove was probably the role he was most known for.  Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, and Harrison Ford were far from household names at the time. I saw Gossling in the Fall Guy and while I didn't hate him but didn't like him enough to finish the movie. I thought the worst part about the sequel and prequel trilogies was the casting and acting, and the scripts. Maybe he'll play a great part. This might be a moot point as many of the projects announced for Star Wars get cancelled so who knows if this will ever see the light of day. I think SW has become over exposed and I just can't get excited for the franchise anymore.</p></blockquote><p></p>
