A long time ago, in a dank Hollywood trailer far far away, a bunch of really famous actors auditioned for key roles in Star Wars movies. Leonardo Dicaprio turned down the role of Anakin Skywalker, Nick Nolte turned down the role of Han Solo, and George Lucas originally wanted to cast Tupac Shakur for the role of Mace Windu. Since the 24 hour countdown to Star Wars: Episode VIII “The Last Jedi” has begun, we decided it was time for the world to see the Dark Side of casting in Hollywood.
