Ewan McGregor expressed his interest to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in this film. So did Billy Dee Williams as Lando. Rian Johnson wanted to include them, but could not find a place in the story to naturally insert either character. Johnson stated he would had included Kenobi if it were the Alec Guinness version, but that he found complicated the idea of aging the younger version and neither wanted to recreate Guinness with CGI. in regards to Lando, Johnson stated he considered giving him the role that eventually became the new character DJ. But decided against because it would had resulted in Lando betraying the heroes. DJ's betrayal mirrors when Lando betrays Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back, however Lando redeems and DJ is a much less moral character that never redeems.
