Not to mention that Ford would only be capable of playing cocky characters, and would be pigeon holed as such through is actor career.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but the Star Trek reboot was an excellent example of great recasting, in my opinion. Kirk, and especially Spock were great, and I would take the modern Uhura any frickin' day.
