Here’s the catch: you have to choose the entire cast of one movie or TV show (or, if you’re really up on theater, a play) and recast them in another movie or TV show (or play). Crossovers totally allowed.

Confused on how to play? I’ll show you:  
Replace the cast of _Star Wars_ with the cast of _Dukes of Hazzard_:

Luke Skywalker = John “Bo” Schneider  
Han Solo = Tom “Luke” Wopat  
Leia = Catherine “Daisy” Bach  
Obi Wan = Denver “Uncle Jesse” Pyle  
Grand Moff Tarkin = James “Roscoe” Best  
Vader = Sorrel “Boss Hogg” Booke

Dialogue includes:

“Luke, I don’t know what ol’ Obi Wan told ya, but I’m your daadddy!”  
“Luke, your pa left something here for you… but I used it on the truck a long time ago.”  
“Help us Uncle Jesse Wan Kenobi, you’s our last hope…”  
“Leave the Boar’s Nest? In our hour of triumph? Cun-cun-cun-cun… hell no!”

Replace the cast of _The Color Purple_ with the cast of _Queer Eye for the Straight Guy_:

Celie = Carson  
Sophia = Thom  
Mr. = Ted  
Harpo = Kyan  
Shug = Jai

Sample Dialogue  
“I loves Kyan, lord knows I do, but before I let him shave me against the grain I’ll kill him daid! I swear it”  
“A decorator chile ain’t safe in a fam’ly full of welders”.

Celie/Carson: I just can’t stand when he gets on top of me and do his business. I hates it.  
Shug/Jai: Have you tried making eye contact?

Your turn. (I’m predicting this will die a fast death, but worth a shot.)
