It just reeks to me of "Solo". Obviously, some didn't dislike that movie as much as I did. The problem with recasting a classic character is that the new actor tries so hard to be the old actor, and rarely gets the character right. So in Solo, we had Alden Ehrenreich trying really hard to emulate Ford's smirks and swager, but it detracts from him actually playing Han Solo.

Oh there are lots of problems recasting an old character.
The major problem we're staring at here is that everyone involved in Star Wars at the moment seems incapable of actually imagining a character, giving them an arc and a story that we care about.
Filoni and Favreau are seemingly the only ones who have successfully managed it.
Thats why they have to keep going back to a well thats been drained bone-dry by this point.
