Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When casting for any Star Wars project, there are many actors who are considered but never make it to the big screen. Sometimes, one actor is simply chosen over another because the director finds a better fit. Other times, an actor drops out of the project for one reason or another, leaving production scrambling to find a last minute replacement.

George Lucas turned Jackson down for a variety of reasons, notably because Jackson wanted to play the role in prosthetics and makeup as opposed to the CGI the character was eventually made from. It is also likely that his massive level of fame compared to everyone else in the cast would have overshadowed the movie in some way, even for a small part like Jar Jar.
