Classically trained actor Sir Derek Jacobi has said that he wants to be in the new Star Wars movies. Jacobi says that he’s desperate for a part in Episode VII. Some films that Jacobi has starred in were The King's Speech, I, Claudius, Gladiator and many others. In an interview with Radio 4 (which The Daily Mail reported), Jacobi said he immediately phoned his agent when he heard news of the forthcoming sequels.

"I’d love to do my big franchise movie,” Jacobi said. “Ian [McKellen]’s got his Gandalf, Pat Stewart has his Star Trek, Michael Gambon has got his Dumbledore. They are running out of these old men you see. I have to be next!”

He was good in Underworld 2 for his minor role there, He could be an older Jedi or Sith.

I could see it, So i wouldn't have a problem with this.

Jedi Master!

I really want to see some new bad guys, no more Sith. The Sith story is done. Bad guys should be the remnants of the Empire - meaning mainly military characters and bounty hunters, and perhaps some Dark Jedi.

That's all well and good that you want a role, Derek.

But let's put shit in one hand, and want in the other, and see which one fills up faster.
