Aw come on! Idris Elba as someone just not putting up with his shit would be epic. I'd make him Lando Calrissian's son who was 10 or so when Empire happened (go ahead, try to tell me Lando wasn't the type who might've had a son he didn't know about until the guy turned up as a young adult), and has just never been impressed with "Cousin Ben". :)

Darth Vader, shit, he's not even Darth Maul.
