Warwick Wants 'Dark' Star Wars Role

Warwick Davis has admitted he would like to be in the new 'Star Wars' movie - but he hasn't been asked.
The actor played an Ewok in 'Return Of The Jedi' and also appeared in the first film in the prequel trilogy, 'The Phantom Menace', and confirmed he would love a role in the upcoming movie, 'Episode 7'.
Asked if he would be seen in JJ Abrams' eagerly anticipated movie, he replied: "I'd like to bet that we can expect to see me, but I haven't been asked.

"I usually have to drop loads of hints. It's what I had to do for 'Episode One'. I used to have to send lots of faxes to George Lucas just to remind him that I was still around. It would be lovely to have a little cameo."
If Warwick, 43, does get the call, he revealed he has a part in mind.
"I'd like to play a villain this time; someone from the Dark Side. Perhaps wield a lightsaber..."
Warwick can soon be seen in' Jack The Giant Slayer' and the Blu-ray marking the 25th anniversary of his hit movie Willow is out on March 11.
Who Should Play Young Han Solo?

When you stop laughing about Crawford, consider that before "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," Harrison Ford was best known for playing horndog hotshot Bob Falfa in "American Graffiti." (credit:Getty Images)
Garrett Hedlund(03 of19)

Give CinemaBlend editor Katey Rich credit for this one: "Hedlund is 29 and could play younger if need be, and has both the good looks and the physicality to convincingly grow up to become Harrison Ford." (credit:Getty Images)
Dane DeHaan(04 of19)

DeHaan looks like a young Leonardo DiCaprio IRL and acts like a young Ryan Gosling in "The Place Beyond The Pines." He's sneaky old (27), but why couldn't he grow up to be Harrison Ford, too? (credit:Getty Images)
Taylor Kitsch(05 of19)

Squint and he kind of looks like Harrison Ford. (Also, thanks to the terrible "Smash" season premiere ratings, he'll have some free time on the calendar soon enough.) (credit:Getty Images)

Eddie Redmayne(09 of19)

Eddie Redmayne looks nothing like Harrison Ford, and is so British that he probably bathes in Earl Grey. That said, the "Les Miserables" star is knocking on the door of franchise stardom: he was on the "short lists" for "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Hollywood executives want to give this guy a big shot -- and his work with the Wachowskis in "Jupiter Ascending" could be the launching pad to "Star Wars." (credit:Getty Images)

Zachary Levi(11 of19)

Call him a poor man's Redmayne. Levi has been on the cusp of fame for awhile, and -- better yet -- has instant cred with the Comic-Con crowd thanks to his role on "Chuck." Unfortunately, he might be too old to play a guy younger than Harrison Ford in "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." (He's already 32.) (credit:Getty Images)

Not only could he pass for young Harrison Ford, but he possesses a youthful enthusiasm despite his age (25) that suits the character. (credit:Getty Images)

No movie would suffer from having Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead. (Except maybe "Savages.") (credit:Getty Images)

Real talk for one second: Skylar Astin is your next big movie star. He oozes charisma, looks the part of a space smuggler and gives the Han Solo movie a connection to "Pitch Perfect." (credit:Getty Images)
