My top casting picks if we ever got a live-action Master Joruus C'baoth from Heir to the Empire

Joruus C'baoth was my first time experiencing what a non-sith fallen Jedi could be like, and he's been one of my favorite villains ever since. Here's some of my top picks if he ever got a live-action appearance:

  • Jeff Bridges - probably the closest to how I always pictured C'baoth, and has a great ability to go from charming to terrifying at the flip of a switch. Great gravitas.

  • Christian Bale - Probably closest in physicality, plus plays a psychopath really well. Also close in age to where C'baoth should be.

  • David Harbour - Really good at brooding, angry roles and explosive temper, closest in height, and also the right age.

  • Pierce Brosnan - Right looks, and similar to Bridges could really nail that unhinged, fickle vibe while staying charming in the right scenes.

  • Ray Stevenson † (honorable mention) - He crushed it as Baylan, but he'd also have made a phenomenal C'baoth. Too soon.

Would love to hear other ideas casting - anyone from that trilogy, really!
