If you could play a SW character

Post by Sarevok »

Based on your appearance and acting talents which SW movie characters do you think you could play ? What kind of characer can you play in the upcoming SW TV show or a future movie if there is one ?

Being a medium height south asian guy I obviously dont match and cant play any of the main characters in the SW films. However I suppose I could be a background character or a padawan getting gunned down in ROTS. Being a clone or storm trooper would always work too.

As for option 2 I would be a Jedi. Nuff said. :D

Personally I'd like to play one of the Mos Eisely or Jabba's Court barflies (especially the band members, perhaps Max Rebo himself since I fancy myself as a bit of a keyboardist too but unfortunately not blue or have a conk), a Rebel Alliance fighter pilot at Endor, or a corpulent corrupt Senator (will need to pack on the pounds though) in the PT or one of those Jedi Knights or Padawans 66'd at the Temple (preferably gone down under a hail of fire from the clones after taking a bunch of them to join me in Valhalla rather than backhanded by Vader in one stroke with his lightsabre).

My calm demeanor and beard says Jedi Knight. My smart-assery and scruffiness says smuggler.

I would probably fit best being the bar tender in ANH. Not fat, 3 day growth of beard (when I can get away with it) and generally gruff.

I could probably swing Han Solo physically, and I can play the scruffy smuggler. I'd rather play a jedi who's on the verge of falling to the Dark side. Not intentionally, but one who's actions and emotions always pull me away from the Light.

Tractor-beam control officer on the Executor, hoping that Lord Vader never finds out that I was reading message boards on the holo-net when I was supposed to be locking on to the Falcon as it left Bespin.

As a kid I'd be some kid who is in the background of a scene while the main characters come by. If we were to suppose I was an adult, I'd be a low ranked Imperial Officer extra.

(And maybe I'd get my own little piece of EU saying I'm really a normal guy who supports the New Order only to stay out of trouble with it and ventually I get knocked off for that reason, or just shot as two Rebels and a Wookie try to break into the brig I'm posted at. I mean, if the Snowtrooper with the Rank Plaque gets a name, I deserve a backstory.)

I admit it, I said Commander Bacara because I like his helmet. Who I'd be best suited as is another matter:

Going by my personality/accent/etc. I'd say an Imperial officer who follows the rules because They Are The Rules(TM).

Going by a combination of my age group and my ego, Boba Fett. :P

A senator in the days of the Republic would work out quite fine. I could even survive into Palpatine's empire... until he disolves the senate of course.

Han Solo, Lando, Wedge, normal human males in other words, I might a bit on the young side though at 23.

However I cannot act.

Give me a big, rotund spacesuit and I'll play an Ugor in some background scene. Star Wars needs more official/canon instances of Ugor.

I could also pull off being a Geonosis Arena background Jedi, since I have no practical competence with a boken but really cool long hair. But I'd probably wish they'd given me an alien mask to wear instead of being the umpteenth human Jedi to contrast from all the aliens among the heroes.

With my fat guy, I could easily play a rancor keeper. :P

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I would also have to go with this one, or maybe Porkins from ANH.

Who I'd like to play would be an outter rim freighter captain/smuggler with a heart of gold.

my friends all say greedo so cruel! But I can control my personality easily and really am thinking of being an actor. but, by my age, probably the 12-14 year old padawan who dies telling Bail Organna to leave.

Damn it, I wanted to play Porkins! :razz:

Oh, well. Physically, I'd probably be able to do (besides Porkins) political aid/lackey to some Senator from the Bumblefuck system, or maybe Boss Nass, if I get a suit and a ton of make-up/CGI stuff to help out..

Personality/wise, I'd be well suited for Lobot: I love collecting and reading through data and managing things, and I'm the soft-spoken kind of guy that sits in the background, doing all the real work. That, or maybe some nameless first-generation Clone Trooper, a sniper.

My fantasy part, though? Imperial Royal Guard. I get the cool armor and the robe, learn deadly martial arts, and get to do all the super-secret missions that nobody learns about. Plus, I get to sell myself out as a Mercenary once ol' Palps kicks the bucket, Kan Kyros-style.

Did I mention the cool suit?
This has been another blunder by you friendly local idiot.
