Economies of scale now generally mitigate against that, actors tend to have to be established to some degree even if it's for television work and perhaps even more. So just to offer my first justification I’ve selected from known knowns rather than known unknowns. I’ve also stuck to the main roles, the kinds of faces that might appear on the posters (sorry fans of Mon Mothma).
Michael Cera is Luke Skywalker
Paul Kasey is Greedo
Nathan Fillion is Han Solo
Emma Stone is Princess Leia Organa
Alan Rickman is Grand Moff Tarkin
Kenneth Branagh is Ben Kenobi
Anthony Daniels is C-3PO
(Eddie Izzard if unavailable)
R2-D2 is CGI
Paul Kasey (on stilts) is Chewbacca
Stellan Skarsgård is Uncle Owen
Juliette Binoche is Aunt Beru
Emma Stone is Princess Leia Organa
Alan Rickman is Grand Moff Tarkin
Kenneth Branagh is Ben Kenobi
Anthony Daniels is C-3PO
(Eddie Izzard if unavailable)
R2-D2 is CGI
Paul Kasey (on stilts) is Chewbacca
Stellan Skarsgård is Uncle Owen
Juliette Binoche is Aunt Beru
Paul Kasey is Darth Vader
James Earl Jones is his voice
(Peter Serafinowicz if unavailable)
Michael Kenneth Williams is Lando Calrissian
(Peter Serafinowicz if unavailable)
Michael Kenneth Williams is Lando Calrissian
Paul Kasey is Greedo
Most of those are predictably self-explanatory. But since you’ve asked, Luke isn’t an action character in a traditional sense; he’s a farm boy forced to take up his calling so it doesn’t need a Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth but a loser who could become a hero. Paul Kasey is under the suit of most nuWho aliens so has tons of experience. Plus, there has to be someone from The Wire, and Omar fits the bill.
