Can’t…decide…so…much….cringe…

Tough call but I had to go with Nu-Kirk. So incredibly off the mark it's comical.

I was going to go with Jake Skywalker but considering how jaded and insufferable Mark Hamill has become in real life, he was actually perfectly cast to play Jake.

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Nu-Kirk all the way

Haven't seen Strange New Worlds, although, just looking at that picture, I can see why Nu-Kirk is winning. Jake Skywalker, ha...,at least Mark himself acted it best he could despite the written role being pretty stupid.
Deep fake Luke was pretty wonky looking, but at least it was a quick short part at the end.
But Han in the Solo movie, carrying the the whole movie, he tried and all, but I just had the hardest time accepting THAT, to be Han Solo.

Spock and Kirk or Speck and Kark the knock offs as they should be known now with these recasts. JJ and Kurtzman's lack of originality is now legendary.

Is this thread about worst casting choices? Or worst mis-handlings of characters at the producer & script stages?

Recast / Reboot….could be casting or could be how the character was rebooted

Nu Kirk looks more like Lt. Riley from The Naked Time

I have to go with teenage Judy Garland as a six year old Dorothy.

This was not the worst thing about that film. We have a wealth of things to discuss! Aren't we lucky?

But it represents exactly what the film was, some milk gone so bad it got green.

Um, did you watch ANH??

I can live with blue milk.

Just like the way I order at restaurants, I am not voting from the menu. I cast my vote for the Star Wars sequels being cast as Star Wars sequels.
