Recast STAR WARS with the cast of a TV show

It can be done surprisingly more often than you would think. My faves:
Sein Wars

Luke Skywalker: Jerry Seinfeld
Leia Organa: Julia Louis Dreyfuss
Han Solo: Richard Kramer
C3PO: Jason Alexander
Obi Wan Kenobi: Jerry Stiller
Yoda: Estelle Harris
Grand Moff Tarkin: Wayne “Newman” Knight
Darth Vader: Larry “Soup Nazi” Thomas

Jerry’s parents already bear a strong resemblance to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

Sample dialogue: “They al-ready built a Death Star! WHY are they going to do it again? And HOW do they get construction workers for it? Hey, we’re building this planet sized spaceship, but it has to be top secret…”

Obi Wan: I have something that belonged to your father. It’s his light saber.
Luke: That’s a flashlight.
Obi Wan: A flashlight is a flashlight. This is a weapon… IT’S GOT GRACE!
Luke: I really don’t wanna be a Jedi. I want to have a stand-up act on Coruscant.

THE DUKES OF TATTOOINE

Luke: John Schneider
Leia: Catherine Bach
Han: Tom Wopat
Vader: James “Roscoe” Best
Palpatine: Sorrell “Boss Hogg” Booke
Kenobi: Denver Pyle
Chewbacca: Ben “Cooter” Jones
Yoda: Flash
Grand Moff Tarkin: Enos

“I’m gonna git them Jedi- coo-coo-coo-coo-coonk”

“I got your daddy’s bow and arrows out in the barn.”

“You’re looking at the ship that made the Autauga-Talladega run in 12 Parsecs.”

Narrator: Meanwhile back at the Death Star, you ain’t gwine b’lieve what ol’ Boss Palpatine and Vader was doin’ to try and hijack Loretta Lynn’s shuttlecraft.

Please to try.

TREK WARS

Anakin Skywalker & Luke Skywalker: Wil Wheaton
Padme Amidala: Gates McFadden
Leia Organa: Marina Sirtis
Han Solo: Jonathan Frakes
C3PO: Brent Spiner
R2D2: Voice of Majel Barrett
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Patrick Stewart
Darth Pulaski: Diana Muldaur

ANAKIN: “Obi-Wan, should Padme and I get married?”

OBI-WAN: “Engage!”

The Ultimate Crossover- Trek Wars!

Wil Wheaton as Luke Skywalker
Johnathan Frakes as Han Solo (alternately Scott Bakula)
Marina Sirtis as Princess Leia
Patrick Stewart as Obi-wan Kenobi
Michael Dorn as Darth Vader (voice included)

Dominic Keating as C3PO
Avery Brooks as Lando Calrissian
Rene Auberjonois as Grand Moff Tarkin

“use the Force, Luke. That’s an order- make it so.”

Do you mean Michael Richards, who played Cosmo Kramer?

How about this:

The Drew Carrie Fisher Show -

Drew Carey as Luke Skywalker
Christa Miller as Princess Leia
Diedrich Bader as Han Solo
Ryan Stiles as Chewie
Kevin Pollack as post-death Obi Wan (voice only)
Kathy Kinney as Darth Vader (no Jabba jokes, please!)

Luke (after falling into trash compactor): If frogs could fly… well we’d still be in this mess, but wouldn’t it be neat?

Luke (to Leia): Look, this is an odd question, but you’re kind of cute and you’re pretty nice to me. Are you drunk? It’s OK if you are.

Luke: If you hurt my sister they will never find any piece of you! Not even your Wookie! Remember, I know how to dispose of things!
Han: Is that a threat?
Luke: You want me to sing it to ya?

Shoulda previewed- but look at the choices! Thinking along the same lines…

Vader: I am your father… Pig!
Luke: I guess that explains the moustache.

I guess Craig Ferguson would be Palpatine.

MASH WARS

Luke…Gary Burghoff
Han…Alan Alda
Leia…Loretta Swit
Palpatine…Harry Morgan
Darth Vader…Edward “Col. Flagg” Winter
C3PO…Larry Linville
Obi Wan…David Ogden Stiers

THE SITHSONS

Luke Skywalker: Bart Simpson
Leia Organa: Lisa Simpson
Anakin Skywalker: Homer Simpson
Padme Amidala: Marge Simpson
Han Solo: Ned Flanders
Threepio & Artoo: Itchy & Scratchy
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Montgomery Burns
Yoda: Krusty the Clown
Darth Vader: Willie the Groundskeeper

Taxi Wars

with
Tony Danza as Luke Skywalker
Jeff Conaway as Han Solo
Marilu Henner as Princess Leia
Judd Hirsch as C3P0
Andy Kaufman as R2D2
Christopher Lloyd as Obi-Wan Kenobi
and Danny Devito as a very short Darth Vader
“‘Obi-Wan’…Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time …a long time. Whose is it? Oh, right. Funny, I don’t remember owning a droid. Of course I don’t remember much of anything before … who are you again?”

I’m thinking…

Nelson (or Milhouse, but not stupid Flanders) as Han Solo
Martin Prince as Yoda
Monty Burns as The Emporer

Possibly Smithers as Darth Vader . . . it works on some levels and doesn’t work on others.

Aw, I was looking forward to that classic scene where Leia says “I love you” and Han responds, “I knee-kniddly-know.”

Cheers - Where Everybody Knows the Force

Woody Boyd as Luke Skywalker
Sam Malone as Han Solo
Diane Chambers as Padme Amidala
Carla Tortelli as Princess Leia
Frasier Crane as C3PO
Lillith Sternan Crane as Darth Vader
Norm Peterson as Chewbacca
Cliff Clavin as R2D2 (or, in a real piece of stunt casting, Ben Drelin)
Coach Ernie Pantuso as Yoda

I have actively looked for him in Empire and still haven’t found him. He must be on screen for three nanoseconds.

He is…I think he has one line. It’s at the very beginning, when Luke is stranded on Hoth and Han wants to go look for him. He tells Han something like, “It’s too dangerous, we’re closing the outer doors for the night.”

Buffy the Stormtrooper Slayer
Luke Skywalker: Xander Harris
Leia Organa: Buffy Summers
Han Solo: Spike
C3PO: Andrew
Obi Wan Kenobi: Rupert Giles
Yoda: The First Slayer
Grand Moff Tarkin: Warren
Darth Vader: The First (Evil)

and it’s spinoff, Revenge of the Stiff
Luke Skywalker: Angel
Leia Organa: Cordelia
Han Solo: Gunn
C3PO: Wesley
Obi Wan Kenobi: Rupert Giles
Yoda: TPTB
Grand Moff Tarkin: Lindsey
Darth Vader: Wolfram and Hart

My take–

Luke Skywalker – Bart
Princess Leia – Lisa
Han Solo – Milhouse
Obi-Wan Kenobi – Otto
C3P0 – Ralph Wiggums
R2D2 – Maggie
Chewbacca – Krusty the Klown
Lando – Dr. Huxtable
Yoda – Hans Moleman
Luke’s Uncle Ben & Aunt (?) – Homer & Marge
Darth Vader - Principal Skinner
the Evil Emporer – Superintendent Chalmers
Jabba the Hutt – Comic Book Guy
Boba Fett – Groundskeeper Willie
Stormtroopers – Nelson, Jimbo & Curly
Greedo – Hanz Moleman
Jabba’s Dancing Girls – Mrs. Krabappel & Miss Hoover
Ewoks – Rod & Todd

Oops! Slight edit of my above post: Yoda – Grampa

“In my day we didn’t use light sabers. We tied an onion on our belt and went over to Wiggly Planet… that’s what we called Dagobah in those days, Wiggly Planet… and… I feel a disturbance in the Force! Is it the voice of millions calling out in terror?.. nope, it’s a stroke…”

What about “I love you”, repsonded to with “HA-HA!”

How 'bout Barney Gumble as chewbacca? They both big, hairy, and have similar voices.

Actually, Krusty the Klown as Chewbacca is another goof of mine. (Should really proof-read before I hit “send”.) I was thinking of Sideshow Mel as Chewbacca.

But Barney Gumble as Chewbacca might be a better choice.
