Thanks to Youtube for unearthing such a great treasure for a great Star Wars nerd like myself.  You know if this was the 1999 George Lucas, I'm almost positive that he would have chosen Kurt Russell over Harrison Ford.

It's easy for me to say, oh Kurt would have definitely been horrible for Star Wars, but there's no way to tell just from this grainy audition film.  I dare you to compare Kurt Russell's audition with Mark Hamill's audition footage and honestly say that Mark was better than Kurt.

To be honest, they all look equally crappy to me.

But, if you're as nutty as me, you're in for quite a treat.  Youtube also has the video auditions of Robby Benson as Luke Skywalker, Andrew Stevens as Luke Skywalker. They've all been embedded on this page for your viewing pleasure.

P.S.  There are also Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Cindy Williams audition out there that we're trying to embed as soon as possible.
