Chronically handsome and brooding he may be, but the actor’s casting in a new film has inverted the traditional Star Wars formula by bringing in an established star. Will it work?

What exactly is the essential DNA of Star Wars, its unique selling point, its defining je ne sais quoi? Is it its uncanny ability to turn space wizards, walking carpets and beep-booping rubbish bins into the backbone of a multibillion-dollar mythology?
