Jedi Cats

So, you know how Sean and I are always playing that game where we go..."If our buddies were other animals, what animals would they be and why?"  Or, "If our buddies were Greek gods, which ones would they be?"  No?  I haven't told you we do that?  Well, we do.  And this weekend, I came up with one that was absolutely perfect:  If our buddies were Star Wars characters, which ones would they be and why?  

Unfortunately, because Sean is not really a Star Wars geek and I am, I had to answer my own question on this one.  Here's what I came up with:

Mister:  C-3PO.  Why?  Because he's really stuck on protocol and he gets extremely flustered with just the tiniest bit of chaos.  Oh, and the other droids are always picking on him.

Elroy:  R2-D2.  Because he sounds like R2-D2.   Also because he's always picking on C-3PO, and usually gets the better of him in some way.  And he's compact and extremely loyal to...

Otto:  Luke Skywalker.  Well, because he's the leader, and also because he can sometimes do some pretty boneheaded things when his ego gets in the way.  And he's always desperate for new horizons and new adventures, especially the front and back porches.  Oh, and he happens to have a twin sister who's a princess...

Wanda:  Princess Leia.  Was there ever any doubt?  She's arrogant, beautiful, and a complete bad-ass.  And when she's not cozying up to her brother, she's giving him a piece of her extremely agile mind.

 Mango:  Ummm...Chewbacca?  Maybe you could make an argument that her wet hisses are actually Wookie roars?  And she kind of looks like a walking orange carpet, if you can ever catch her walking?  I have to admit that I don't really have the Mango thing worked out yet.  (Was there even another girl character in the original Star Wars besides Princess Leia and Aunt Beru?)  

Reggie:  I want so badly here to say that he is Han Solo, but I'm afraid he might have to be Darth Vader.  One, because he's mostly black, and two, because he has respiratory problems.  (I'm trying not to mention the most obvious part, which is that most of the other cats don't like him much.  Except for Elroy.  Which completely ruins the Star Wars mythology.  Wait, didn't R2-D2 use to belong to Darth Vader before he belonged to Luke?  Yes--when he was still Anakin!  I knew this analogy was working!)
