All the best.
Hello again,

Steve, it was Wayne Pygram who played "Governor Tarkin" (Peter Cushing's character) in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, not Christopher Eccleston, although I see how the two could easily be confused, as they do have a similar kind of face. Besides which, Tarkin's appearance in ROTS is of the "blink and you miss it" variety. In any case, Christopher Eccleston would be an interesting choice to play Peter Cushing (both actors share the distinction of having played "Doctor Who", which is a nice link). One actor I think would be able to play Peter Cushing is Christian Bale, as their physiques are somewhat similar. Who would play Vincent Price, I wonder...? This thread is raising a lot of curious questions. Take care everyone:

Warmest regards,

Andrés
