Casting: Disney+ Star Wars shows/films

Disney made an announcement a couple weeks ago at the their Investors Day event, showcasing the upcoming MARVEL, Disney, Star Wars and Pixar films and shows.

A couple weeks after that, I decided to predict castings for future Star Wars projects and which upcoming show they could appear on. 5 characters, 3 male, 2 female:

Michael Sheen as young Palpatine
A show giving a visual re-telling to the chilling 'Darth Plaguis The Wise' monologue from Revenge of The Sith would honestly be really great and with the critical success of Michael Sheen's performance as Chris Tarrant in the ITV Drama 'Quiz' I think he would be good choice to play a younger, less powerful Palpatine.

Guy Henry as Grand Admiral Thrawn
Guy Henry has already been apart of the Star Wars universe as he provided the face motion capture and voice of Tarkin in 2016's Rogue One.

I chose him because he pulls off the calm but intimidating, self-assured nature of the the Imperial Admiral to perfection. He'll most likely show up in the Ahsoka show which was hinted during the season 2 episode of The Mandalorian, 'Chapter 13: The Jedi'

Dev Patel as adult Ezra Bridger
Dev is, in my opinion, THE only choice for a grown up Ezra Bridger. The role that has inspired this choice is from The Green Knight, which is yet to come out(only the trailer has been released). Ezra will hopefully appear in the Ahsoka show, alongside Thrawn.

Sasha Luss as Asajj Ventress
I casted her strictly on her facial appearance, as I think she would need to be voiced by the Clone Wars actress, Nika Futterman(like how Ray Park's Darth Maul is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz in The Phantom Menace and Sam Witwer in Solo)

Billie Lourd as Leia Organa
I honestly did not like the popular idea of Millie Bobby Brown portraying Leia, quite frankly seemed insulting to the character.

I think the only choice that would be great is indeed Carrie Fisher's daughter. Not only because I'm a fan of hers, but it would be wonderful to see her carry on her late-mother's on-screen legacy.

Billie has technically played Leia before, she was the body double in the training flashback scene in The Rise of Skywalker.
