Imagine a scenario in which ten characters from the Original Trilogy of Star Wars found their way to present-day Earth… during the Christmas/holiday season! Imagine further that each character discovers our treasure trove of holiday-themed movies and took some back with them to their reality: let’s explore which of these films would best fit each Star Wars character!

Someone’s gonna put their eye out! Luke Skywalker picture credit to brobible.com; “A Christmas Story” picture credit to variety.com

01. Luke Skywalker — A Christmas Story (1983)

Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) wanted a Red Ryder BB Gun; Luke Skywalker wanted to get off of Tatooine and do things with his life… and both had adult figures lecturing them that for their own good they couldn’t have what they wanted! Luke would see and appreciate Ralphie’s story.

Two bros chilling for the holidays with two classic Christmas flicks! Han and Chewie picture credit to thewrap.com; “Die Hard” picture credit to screencrush.com; “Lethal Weapon” picture credit to moviefone.com

02. Han Solo & Chewbacca — Die Hard (1988)/Lethal Weapon (1987)

Neither Han nor Chewie would go for a sugar-coated traditional Christmas film. They are scoundrels who probably like to kick back and watch something exciting. Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are unorthodox Christmas movies, but both are laden with Christmas spirit. For instance, Die Hard lead John McClane (Bruce Willis) and Lethal Weapon leads Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) rediscover the importance of family… and then kick some major butt!

Much like George Bailey (right image), Princess Leia (left image) appreciates being surrounded by loved ones! Princess Leia picture credit to latercera.com; “It’s a Wonderful Life” picture credit to bbc.co.uk

03. Princess Leia — It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

Lead character George Bailey (James Stewart), who wants more for himself, instead leads a life of responsibility and service to people who need him; whether it’s the people of Bedford Falls or his own family. Leia, who leads a similar life, would feel refreshed in her path after seeing George find the will to live and that his life has meaning.

Sir Alec Guinness plays both Obi-Wan Kenobi (left image) and Jacob Marley (right image)! Obi-Wan picture credit to comicvine.gamespot.com; “Scrooge” picture credit to cometoverhollywood.com

04. Obi-Wan Kenobi — A Christmas Carol (every version)

The point of the story: a bitter man who, after being shown the potential to do good in life, desires to turn toward the light. Obi-Wan would see these films and wish such a thing could happen for his former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. Plus, something about that Jacob Marley fellow in Scrooge (1970) seems very familiar…

There’s just something about that lil’ scamp Kevin which reminds Darth Vader (left image) of a better time! Darth Vader picture credit to insidethemagic.net; “Home Alone” picture credit to shortlist.com

05. Darth Vader — Home Alone (1990)

Vader concentrates on evil to keep himself steered in that direction… but then comes this Christmas movie featuring a young boy who has the brains and courage to fend off his assailants with home-made defenses! Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) would remind Vader of a certain boy from his past who also dabbled in invention and took no guff. What’s more, Vader’s icy heart might warm up slightly to the story of a son reuniting with his loving mother.

Buddies for life! C-3P0 and R2-D2 picture credit to giantfreakinrobot.com; “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” picture credit to smithsonianmag.com

06. C-3P0 & R2-D2 — Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

Threepio and Artoo could appreciate a story with solid friendship like between reindeer Rudolph and Hermey the elf! What’s more, Rudolph is a story about finding purpose and people appreciating that instead of taking others for granted; something which as service droids of a sort Threepio and Artoo can definitely appreciate.

Boba Fett might enjoy a lil’ Christmas caper comedy! Boba Fett picture credit to starwars.fandom.com; “Trapped in Paradise” picture credit to film-book.com

07. Boba Fett — Trapped in Paradise (1994)

On Christmas Eve, three unwise men try their hardest to escape the town full of neighborly people whose bank they robbed. Comedy ensues as this trio of brothers — constant liar Dave (Jon Lovitz), daffy kleptomaniac Alvin (Dana Carvey), and the straight-laced Bill (Nicolas Cage) — discover the meaning of Christmas and giving. Fett could appreciate the comedy of trying to get away with your loot while trusting souls help you out.

Lando can appreciate a holiday heist of hilarity! Lando Calrissian picture credit to insidethemagic.net; “Bad Santa” picture credit to slashfilm.com

08. Lando Calrissian — Bad Santa (2003)

Though Lando became a “responsible leader”, his roots as a suave scoundrel would draw him to this holiday comedy about a safe-cracking crook who, disguised as a mall Santa, finds meaning during one Christmas in his otherwise depressed, booze-soaked life of crime. Lando would appreciate the humor of Willie’s experience in reformation while prepping for his next big score.

Both of these naughty lil’ “elves” are ready to party! Salacious Crumb picture credit to villains.fandom.com; “Gremlins” picture credit to ihorror.com

09. Salacious Crumb — Gremlins (1984)

The raucous, creepy Salacious Crumb would see Gremlins and say “this is my kind of movie!” Trouble-making long-eared imps causing mayhem and mischief; Crumb would eat this movie up!

Those Rebels won’t get away with their sugar-coated and awkward propaganda piece if Emperor Palpatine has a say! Emperor Palpatine picture credit to polygon.com; “The Star Wars Holiday Special” picture credit to lithub.com

10. Emperor Palpatine — The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

The sickeningly sweet attempts at holiday cheer and goodwill; the sappy sentiments; the horrible storytelling with cringe-worthy moments… Forget spreading Imperial holiday greetings with darkness and terror; ol’ Palpatine would take one look at this, call it a propaganda tool sympathetic to the Rebellion, and show it to his forces so they too could feel utter revulsion at the enemy! Besides, this show is the most evil thing Palpatine could dream of unleashing…

The Star Wars characters would see these Christmas movies and become attached; Vader would keep his as a guilty pleasure. Give these movies a watch this holiday season and see if these picks ring true!
