June 29, 2000 -- Announced as "breaking news" last week, Joel Edgerton has been cast in Episode II. For a young actor, Edgerton has a large body of work on the theatrical stage having played King Henry in Henry V, Prince Hal in Henry III, and others including Road, Blackrock, Third World Blues, and Dead White Males. His work also includes television projects such as The Three Stooges telemovie, The Secret Life of Us and Saturn's Return as well as the feature films Praise, Erskinville Kings, Dogwatch and Sample People.
In Episode II, Edgerton will play the role of Owen Lars, the man who will go on to raise Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Like Ewan McGregor before him, Edgerton will have an older model of his character to pattern his performance after. Phil Brown played the part of Owen in the original Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
