They remade Ben-Hur? The world went and ended while I was in the bathroom.

Nah, I'm being hyperbolic. But seriously: I totally called it.
"Jesus, they're remaking everything! What are they gonna do next, Ben-Hur?!"
You had to be there. It was funny. Trust me.

I've quite enjoyed Timur Bekmambetov's movies in the past. They are fun, weird action films usually. (Night Watch, Day Watch, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter)
Fuckin Morgan Freeman is in it.
And I like Morgan Freeman. But it's like Forrest Whitaker in Rogue One. something isn't right with those choices.
Go with no names for remakes and star wars.

Like Sir Alec Guinness! Who was he before he did Star Wars? (Ignore the fact that he was already knighted...)
Alec is fine. The same goes with Tarkin and Dooku.
Forrest Whitaker, though?

The POINT is that every Star Wars has had at least a couple big actors in it (that hadn't been in the previous films). Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, Liam Neeson, James Earl Jones, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, and now Forest Whittaker and Donnie Yen.

Isn't he supposed to be dead?
True. A bunch of household names have had the Star Wars treatment. I'm gonna argue that Adam Driver wasn't a household name like Forrest Whittaker (he was that one guy from Girls who had appeared in other indie darlings, and don't get me wrong, I loved him in Inside Llewyn Davis and Frances Ha but he was far from A-List). I would argue that my issue with Forrest Whittaker isn't that he's A-list, but because his wig looks as unfittingly silly as Freeman's in the Ben Hur remake, and the small (possibly best) line delivery in the film looks hammy and overplayed and ridiculous. I still hope that Rogue One is gonna be a great film, but from the previews, it's hard to confidently say it'll even scratch good.
