Who thinks that HP and SW are too alike as it is....kidding, kidding,
kidding!! Please no one kill me!


That's rather funny--my son's got a huge crush (at age 3) on SW lately.  As
I watch the show for the 45th time in a week....groan, sometimes, I see
parallels, and also pull out a few questions!

First.
Leia=Hermione.  Can anyone else see it?
Luke=Harry.  That naive, trying to be Jedi/that naive, trying to be a master
wizard (and the Skywalker name thing/Potter name thing)
Han=Ron (NO CRACKS ON SHIPS!  I AM NOT GOING THERE!)
Obi=Dumbledore.  Of course, from the old Yahoo-casting days (whistles)....
Sabers=wands
Hagrid=Chewie....  Well, they're both hairy!
Yoda=Dobie?  Similarity in physical characteristics, if you watch the
official screensaver.  Dobie has the same ears....
Both series have strange animals.
I'm not certain if Darth Vader is Peter or Vold.  He was re-converted back
at the end of Ep. 6.
The two droids.  R2D2=Hedwig.  It's a stretch, I know, but both carried
messages?  I also think Hedwig has the same feisty personality.
C3PO throws me for a loop.  No close who he'd resemble.
Snape=Lando.  We thought he was a traitor, too.  He helped fire the shot
that destroyed the Emperor though (Now there's the Vold link!)
Any more similarities you folks can come up with?

Now onto the OT?

If C3PO was created on Tatteroine, then why didn't he recognize it in 4?
If " was created by Anikin (sp?), then why didn't he recognize the
"SKYWALKER" in Luke?
Why didn't Obi recognize the two droids?  He ran with at least one during Ep
1 (R2D2)
Why does Obi tell Yoda about (paraphrased) how I was rash when you trained
me, when Quo trained him?

Yah, I know.  You guys started this feature in me--critiquing things to
follow in step!

I've got more...just can't recall them at this time!
