Original Trilogy with "Dogs" as Characters

This sounds corny but my friend and I were joking around about what it would be like if Star Wars was re-cast with the main characters as dogs instead of humans. Yes…we’re geeks! But the only ones we could think of were Han Solo and maybe Obi-Wan Kenobi. We were thinking since they are sassy and naughty and look like they’re wearing black and white and have wild tenacious personalities, we were thinking, the perfect breed of dog to play Han Solo would be the Boston Terrier. We were thinking of a wise old grayish looking Golden Retriever to play Obi Wan. But I want others’ opinions. What dog breeds could play Luke or Leia? They’re brother and sister, so they’d have to be the same breed. What about Vader? Or Chewey? Or Lando? Sorry I’m a geek but I love dogs and I love Star Wars. Any opinions? Hopefully this is an amusing post. Be creative! I’d love to hear some pretty funny ideas.

As much as I love dogs, I don’t know many breeds. I suppose the obvious choice for Vader would be something big, dark, and intimidating like a Rottweiler, Mastiff or Pitbull. Newfoundland is another possibility, just for their immense size.

I could see Leia as a French bulldog, for obvious reasons;

Cool choices! If Leia’s a Frenchie, Luke would have to be one too. I think Yoda would be a great Chihuahua because of those massive ears, and I see Chewie as a sheep dog because of all the fur!

Oh yeah…and a Jack Russell Terrier would make a great Emperor Palpatine! That breed is smart and can manipulate humans well. If Vader “a pit bull” could be easily influenced by a Jack Russell Terrier, anyone can

That already happened … kinda.

True, but I mean REAL dogs! Not Spaceballs! Hehe

What, just because someone is only half-dog that doesn’t make them a real dog? Mixes are people/dogs too.

OP is about “dogs” not dogs.

I’m gonna have to chew on that post fur a while.

Aren’t some of those dogs a little short for stormtroopers?

This thread is terrifying.
