Re-Cast the Star Wars Trilogy!

In My Humble Opinion
1

Ok, this might’ve been done before, but this is my first attempt at starting a thread, so bear with me. This is something my friends and I stumbled upon a few years ago with Warner Brothers characters, and it was fun. So here we go…

Luke Skywalker - Sylvester’s son (Oh, father…)
Princess Leia - the French cat (Le Mew…)
Han Solo - Daffy Duck
Chewbaaca - The Tazmanian Devil
Lando Calrissian - Pepe Le Pew (although Wile E Coyote is a possibility, just so he can hold up a sign that says “We can still save Han” while being choked by Chewie…)
Obi Wan Kenobi - Foghorn Leghorn (Use, I say, use the FORCE, boy!)
Yoda - Bugs
The Emperor - Yosemite Sam
Darth Vader - Elmer Fudd (Wuke! I am your Fodder!)
Darth Vader, with the helmet off - Sylvester
Stormtroopers - Freeze Dried Martians (just add water)
Grand Moff Tarkin - Marvin the Martian (I’m going to blow it up…)
Wedge - Speedy Gonzalez

Any actors are fair game, living, dead, or animated. Have fun…

Luke Skywalker - Macauley Culcin or whatever his name is
Princess Leia - Julia Roberts
Han Solo - Joe Pesci
Chewbacca - Danny DeVito, having grown a beard
Obi Wan Kenobi - Steven Segall
Yoda - Pikachu
The Emperor - Jim Carrey
Darth Vader - Hugh Grant
Stormtroopers - dressed like the girls in that Pat Benatar video (Love is a Battlefield)
Jesus, I just re-read my list. That would SERIOUSLY suck :smiley:

3

Luke Skywalker - Danny Masterson
Princess Leia - Katy Holmes…mmmmmmmm Katy Holmes
Han Solo - Christopher Titus
Lando Calrissian-D L. Hughley
Chewbacca -Shaq Daddy
Obi Wan Kenobi -Mel Gibson
Yoda - Danny De Vito
The Emperor - Bruce Willis
Darth Vader - Robert DeNiro
Jaba the Hut- Marlin Brando
Stormtroopers -the Chicago Blackhawks

4

That’s so funny! I love it! They should do it for real.

5

Damn you! The image that presents in my mind prevents me from doing anything but sitting at my desk and chuckling like a deranged speed freak.

6

Great list, but I just can’t see Daffy in a heroic role. How about:

Han Solo - Bugs Bunny
Yoda - Michigan J. Frog
Darth Vader - Daffy Duck (“You weren’t on any merthy miththion, thith time.”)
The Emperor - Elmer Fudd (“Now, unweash you’we hatwed, hahahaha.”

And you left out:

Jawas - the gopher twins
R2-D2 - the Road Runner
C-3PO - Tweety

7

Luke Skywalker - Al Gore
Princess Leia - Hilary Clinton
Han Solo - George W. Bush
Chewbaaca - Madeline Albright
Lando Calrissian - Joe Lieberman
Obi Wan Kenobi - Jimmy Carter
Yoda - Ronald Reagan
The Emperor - Strom Thurmond
Darth Vader - Bill Clinton
Stormtroopers - The House of Representatives
Jabba the Hutt - Newt Gingrich
R2D2 - Robert Reich
C3P0 - Warren Christopher
Ewoks - George Stephenopolous, Rick Lazio
The Creatures in the Bar Scene - Ted Kennedy, Jesse Helms, Ralph Nader, Pat Buchannan

8

Bildo, I have to take exception with that list. It doesn’t seem to fit. If I may make the Connor Change:

Luke Skywalker - Ken Starr (“But I wanted to go to Tashi Station to pick up some subpoenas!”)
Princess Leia - One of the Gore daughters
Han Solo - Ronald Reagan (in his Gipper prime)
Chewbacca - Lloyd Bentson (does anyone remember Phil Hartman’s impression of him as Perot’s VP candidate?)
Lando Calrissian - Bob Packwood
Obi Wan Kenobi - Jimmy Carter
Yoda - Hillary Clinton (I KNEW she reminded me of someone)
The Emperor - Joe Leiberman (no different that Elmer Fudd)
Darth Vader - Al Gore (is there anyone else you could picture as half robot?)
Stormtroopers - Young Republicans
Jabba the Hutt - Newt Gingrich
R2D2 - George W. Bush
C3P0 - Janet Reno
Ewoks - George Stephenopolous, Rick Lazio
The Creatures in the Bar Scene - Ted Kennedy, Jesse Helms, Ralph Nader, Pat Buchannan

Robot Arm, you are a genius…although I still lean towards Daffy as Han, just for the sarchasm and cynicism…

And let’s not forget the Abominable Snowman’s cameo on Hoth “Gosh, George, why’d you go and lop my arm off like that? That’s not very nice…”

And Sam has to be the Emperor, just for the scene where Vader throws him down the reactor core “Rakem-frakem-@##^%^#^*#%@!$!!! Oooohh, I HATE Jedi…” And can’t you just see that bright red moustache sticking out from the Emperor’s hood?

10

Some of your suggestions I love (mmmmmm, Gore babe in metal bikini), though others I don’t agree with.

First of all, Ken Starr is NOT Luke. Luke was an innocent, country boy coming of age and growing into a jedi knight. Ken Starr is a big-time corporate lawyer on an investigative rampage. I realize that it’s near impossible to find an actual innocent in Washington, but Gore has at least some of the characteristics, and I liked the Bill Clinton father/son concept thing. In a spirit of compromise, I’ll offer Bill Bradley.

I also don’t see Ronnie as Han. How 'bout George Bush Senior in his fighter pilot days.

I’m going to have to stand firm on Albright as Chewie. Just picture her without a pin and with a bandolier. It’s perfect.

I was really reaching to find a Lando. I’ll take Packwood.

I can just see Reagan as the old, grizzled, slightly addled Yoda, but I’ll take Hilary. I’ll also take Lieberman as the Emperor (or as Elmer Fudd, for that matter)

I Really don’t think that Gore will do for Vader. Yes, he might be part robot (and he did wheeze a lot during the first debate), but he doesn’t have the pure singlminded drive for Evil that you need to make a good Vader. Perhaps we can fit Ken Starr in here – a former jedi consumed with the lust for power determined to chase down the rebels to the end of the universe no matter who he has to destroy or indict (and how much taxpayer money he has to spend) to do so.

Young Republicans would make perfect storm troopers, and I’d accept Dubya as R2D3.

Reno, however, is not C3P0 by any margin. C3P0 was a slim protocol droid – always proper – just like Warren Christopher. I could see Janet Reno as one of the officers on the Death Star, perhaps, or a rebel general, but not as C3P0.

11

Suddenly I’m having a vision of him putting the paper bag on his head. “Darth Vader is my father. Now I can never show my face in the rebellion again. Oh, the shame of it.”

12

I was also thinking Bush Sr. as Han. I wanted to go with that youthful exuberance that I think that Ronnie had. Herbert will do.

The Ken Starr suggestion was only to fit the “Luke as a whiner” role. But I don’t think that either Gore or Bradley has the combination of ambition and innocence. Maybe Dubya, but I like to picture him as R2D2 when he gets hit by the Jawas. Back to Luke later.

I’ll give you Albright. But I still think Phil Hartman as Lloyd Bentson would be perfect in the suit for the voice.

Ken would make a good Vader.

Reno as Admiral Tarkin?

13

Luke Skywalker - Kurt Cobain
Princess Leia - Janis Joplin
Han Solo - Jim Morrison
Chewbacca - Stevie Ray Vaughn
Lando Calrissian - Jimi Hendrix
Obi Wan Kenobi - John Lennon
Yoda - Keith Moon
The Emperor - Elvis Presley
Darth Vader - Marvin Gaye
Jabba the Hutt - Mama Cass in drag
R2D2 - Brian Jones
C3P0 - Buddy Holly
The Creatures in the Bar Scene - Lynyrd Skynyrd

14

Connor - HRP’s would-be veep was Admiral Jim Stockdale. Hartman did a great impression, but he really only got to do it once. I don’t think anyone got to see the second one, Pat Choate.

Lloyd Bentsen was Mike Dukakis’ running mate.

As for the Looney Tunes version…
Bugs as Luke. Finally, a use for all that sand on Tatooine. He can burrow in it.
Yosemite Sam as Darth Vader. “IIIIII’m Darth Sam, the roughest toughest he-man stuffest Sith Lord in all the galaxy. And I ain’t no palsy-walsy!”
Porky as Yoda. "St-st-st-strong in the F-the F-the F-the Force you are, but concen-concent-concentr- concentrate you m-m-m-m-m-m…aw, SWING IT!
Foggie as Obi-Wan. Daffy as Han. Taz as Chewie. Tweety and Sylvester as R2D2 and C3PO. Pepe as Lando. Fudd as Emperor.
Granny as Leia. “Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! I thought I smelled something when I was brought on board.”
Wile E. as Boba Fett. Don’t tell me that BF’s death wasn’t inspired by WEC.
A generic bulldog as Jabba. All he did was bop people anyway. Wait - he ate a frog! Finally, a Michigan J. scene I’d LIKE!

15

I don’t know if this is sacrilege, but Star Trek characters as Star Wars characters:

Luke Skywalker: Wesley
Han Solo: Ricker
Chewbacca: Wharf
C3PO: Data
R2D2: Jordie (he tags along with Data all the time)
Princless Leia: Troy (empath sorta like force, had a thing with Ricker)
Obi-Wan-Kenobi: Captain Piccard
The Emperor: Khan! (who else?)
Darth Vader: ? help on this please
Yoda: Spock
Storm Troopers: The Borg
Ewoks: Tribbles (small, furry, and annoying)
Lando Calrissian: Chakotay

Well, there. If you all hate me for micing two worlds, then you may kill me now.

16

Vader should be Kahn, and the Emperor should be Q.

17

Well, I decided agianst Q because he’s not really evil. He’s just a part of a race of interdimensional beings with seemingly paranormal powers. Not really evil. Plus. Vader turned good at the very end, Khan did not.

18

As far as Looney Toons go, I’m torn between Wile E Coyote and the Chicken Hawk as Boba Fett. I love the idea of Fett’s rocket-pack featuring a great big ACME label, but also Fett’s helmet with the tiny body sticking out the bottom is a funny visual too…

As for the politicians, how’s about we let them play the populace of Alderaan?

And now, the early '60’s Rock-N-Roll version:

Luke: Fabian
Leia: Ann-Margaret
Han: Elvis

C’mon, guys, help me out!

19

Hmm, I may be slipping back into the 50s a little bit on this, but how about:

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Buddy Holly
Chewbacca: Jerry Lee Lewis
C-3PO: Little Richard
R2-D2: a Rock-Ola jukebox
Yoda: Bob Dylan
The Emperor: Frank Sinatra
Darth Vader: Bobby Darin
Storm Troopers: Use special effects to create a hundred copies of Pat Boone.

Actually, Chewbacca might have to be Jerry Garcia.
