A buddy and I were chatting on the way into work, and we thought it would be great to remake Star Wars using Simpson characters. Here is what we came up with. **The Obvious:** **Bart** = Luke **Lisa** = Leia **Homer** = Darth Vader **The Rest:** **Lenny and Carl** = Han and Chewie (Don’t know which would be which yet.) **Mr. Burns** = Emperor Palpatine (“Endor eh?”) **Smithers** = Royal Servant (Those dudes in purple in ROTJ) **Chief Wiggum** = Grand Moff Tarkin. (“Book 'er boys.”) **Dr. Nick** = Lando (Falcon lands on Bespin. Lando emerges with his entourage, “Hi everybody!”) **Ralph Wiggum** = Yoda. (“I’m a Jedi!”) **Milhouse VanHousen** = CPO **Barney Gumble** = Jabba (“Belch!”) **Ale Simpson** = Obi Wan **Maybe’s:** **Nelson Munts** = Admiral Piet (After Admiral Ozzle is killed by Vader “Ha ha!”) **Moe** = Cantina bartender. (Duh!) I’ll post more as I come up with them, but feel free to give your ideas. (Even for Episode 1!!!) ---

Itchy and Sratchy as Ewoks (with the Happy Little Elves as backup) It sucks that Marge can’t be in it. I mean, Leia was \*\* the only chick\*\* in the trilogy. That ain’t right. ---

Comic Store guy = Admiral Ackbar “No, the Death Star cannot be defeated by Bizarro Superman. If you had read your battle plan carefully, you would know that” Professor Frink = 3P0 “The odds of success are 325,000 to 1, lavin” ---

Blessed, I feel your pain. =) I think that Martin would also make a good 3PO. Good call on Ackbar, Xizor! =) (Need to add: “Now get off of my bridge…”) ---

I disagree with Bart as Luke. I think Ralph Wiggum would make a WAY better Luke. That would make Chief Wiggum play Darth Vader, which is also better. ---

The Chief and Ralph seem to get along. ---

Am I the only one who automatically thought of Dr. Julius Hibbert as Darth Vader? Think of it; “Leave that to me… heh heh heh heh” I guess I _was_ the only one… ::sigh:: ---

The Flanders could be Luke’s Aunt and Uncle. Milhouse would be a great Wedge. Nelson and the other bullies would work as Stormtroopers. Krusty is a better Obi-Wan than Abe Simpson. (Hey! Hey! Hey! Use the force Bart.) ---

I don’t like Ralph Wiggum as Yoda either. This is better: Bleeding Gums Murphy = Yoda. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zenster \* > **Am I the only one who automatically thought of Dr. Julius Hibbert as Darth Vader?** I think he should be the “voice” of Vader. Leave Homer, the white guy, in the suit. “Don’t make me bust a cap in your ass, yo! Jedi’s the most insulting installment, because Vader’s beautiful, black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty white man! They’re trying to tell us that deep inside, we all want to be white!” - Hooper X, Chasing Amy I also see **Apu** as **Yoda**. “A Yedi’s power flows from the force, thank you come again” ---

I keep seeing Millhouse as Han, but mostly because of his crush on Lisa… How about Groundskeeper Willie as ObiWan? (“Troost yer feelins, Luke! Let gooo! Just shoot the damn thing!”) ---
