A Stroke of Brilliance


So, earlier today I watched the first two Star Wars films. By which I mean, A New Hope (IV) and The Empire Strikes Back (V), not…the other ones. BUT! During the scene In V where Han Solo flies the Millenium Falcon into an asteroid field, I took note of Leia's line, "You don't have to do this just to impress me." I knew that in my current writing project (Untitled), Han would have most likely retorted, "Because I'm obviously trying to impress you," or something along those lines.

HANG ON A MINUTE, GIRLFRIEND.

Lily—Han—Hatter—Leia—Crossover—Sweet zombie Jesus! (Aheh. Heh. Random Futurama joke inserted for your confusion.)


  • I had the brilliant idea to rewrite the Star Wars Original Trilogy with my characters. 
  • Kitty, the slightly annoying younger sister of my MC's friend, as Luke 
  • Hatter (yes-it's-Alice-in-Wonderland-themed-why-you-ask?) as Leia
  • Lily, his fiancee, as Han Solo
  • Allie, my MC, as R2D2
  • Arthur, Allie's friend and Kitty's older brother, as C3PO
  • The magician Dune, Kitty's former mentor, as Obi-Wan Kenobi (I had to invent a couple of characters, but now they're actually making the story better!)
  • Bianca, Lily's mother and Arthur and Kitty's aunt, as Lando Calrissian (another invented character, but I swear she's gonna be great.)
  • Anatolia, the main Big Bad and owner of a company that makes toasters, as Darth Vader
  • Maurice, Anatolia's lame-ish brother, as the Emperor
  • Aaaand finally: Parker, Allie's boyfriend and a complete geek, as Yoda
I've written just a little bit, but it's already hilarious to everyone who's read the original story. (Including me, that number would be one.)

I am such a geek.
