The Red Sox and Star Wars go well together, I think.
Since baseball starts again on Thursday, I want to start getting into the spirit of things. So one day, I got bored in Italian and started casting the Red Sox vs. Yankees version of Star Wars, for no other reason than I could and saw a parallel or two. I started illustrating how the Sox (and few Yankees) would look as the characters I listed them as, but they don't look very good, so...yeah.
I can at least post the list, though, because I'm in the library waiting to go to, what else, Italian.
Luke Skywalker: Jon Lester
Leia Organa: Jacoby Ellsbury
Han Solo: Josh Beckett
Chewbacca: Jonathan Papelbon
Lando Calrissian: David Ortiz
C3PO: J.D. Drew
R2D2: Kevin Youkilis (their heads match!)
Admiral Ackbar: Jason Varitek (because Tek saying this would be hilarious)
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Tim Wakefield
Yoda: Johnny Pesky
Wicket W. Warrick: Dustin Pedroia (yes, Wicket is an Ewok)
Greedo: A-Rod, just so Josh can shoot first.
Boba Fett: Scott Boras
Jabba the Hutt: Joba Chamberlain (of course)
Emperor Palpatine: George Steinbrenner
Darth Vader: Johnny Damon, because he changed sides and went for the money. He has redeemed himself with his free agency. (Not really, but let's pretend for the sake of plot. He still has a weak arm.)
Dengar: Robinson Cano with a towel on his head (yes, Dengar is an actual character in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi)
Rogue Squadron:
Wedge Antilles: Jed Lowrie (because I CAN)
Wes Janson: Clay Buchholz
Dak Ralter: Josh Reddick
Tycho Celchu: Lars Anderson (because he almost went to Cal)
Zev Senesca: Devern Hansack? Jeff Bailey? Not sure yet.
Derek Klivian (Hobbie): Bubba Bell
Kasan Moor: George Kottaras (he's pretty enough!)
Biggs Darklighter: Brad Penny
Porkins (Piggy): Julio Lugo
Corran Horn: Not sure yet. Maybe Dusty Brown...
Am I a loser? I think so. Yes.
