Inspired by JonN's masterly How should MES fight crime? poll...

Darth Vader - as he killed of commanders that failed in the same way as MES dumps band members! His breathing probably sounds as rough with him being such a heavy smoker! :o

He's the Imperial Stormtrooper who smacks his head on the doorway..

Hipper Still - January 23, 2006 11:00 PM (GMT)
Lando, obviously, doing what he wants when he wants.

He'd be an interesting Yoda though, eg the training scene by the swamp: 'Listen Luke, y't*^d. Never mind f*&^in' try. There's no such f*&^in' thing as try here, y'c*^t. Either f*&^in' do it and be a sh*&^in' Jedi or f*&^in' don't do it and f*&k off. I don't f*&^in' care either way, me. I'm not really f*&^in' int'rested.'

He'd be one of those weird aliens in the Cantina in Mos Eisley.

The Dark Lord of The Smith.

Three votes for Boba Fett. Why? There's nothing M.E.S.-like about the silent-but-violent bounty hunter. Is there??!?

Dan C - January 26, 2006 12:12 AM (GMT)
Yoda - the old master training young Jedi then firing them so they can find their own way.

Hipper Still - January 26, 2006 12:42 AM (GMT)
I can't actually see MES being too happy with sitting around swamps all day waiting for some dopy kid to turn up. He'd be in a right nark, as would any sane person.

Most diassappointing moment in film history? My friends kept telling me to watch Episode Two, 'oh it's great you get to see Yoda fight.' they said. Bollocks do you - a close up of his face then zoom out to about quarter of a mile away and watch a blur whizz round a light sabre, back in, repeat, what a load of utter utter tish.

They both play unusual tricks with language.

Hang on, is this the dreary US Star Wars or the proper Turkish Star Wars?

Interesting stuff: "The mummies begin slashing the little boys to death with their talon-sharp fingernails, and the chaos intensifies as a troop of furry creatures who resemble the Beatles in their "I Am the Walrus" costumes from "Magical Mystery Tour" suddenly show up to kill more children..."

... "Then an eight-foot-tall yeti appears, but the heroes stomp on him until he is out cold. The Cleopatra look-alike complains to one of the Mardi Gras kings, who turns her into a zombie and then into a spider." I bet that never happened in the tawdry Lucas version with its bargain-bucket effects.

I liked that bit.

And the bit in episode 3 when Yoda and Obi-Wan are fighting the clones outside the temple and Yoda throws his lightsaber through the chest of one of the clones, then jumps on his chest as he is falling back and pulls his lightsaber out. Yoda rules, fuck yeah!

And the bit where he feels all faint as the jedi start getting killed by the clones always makes me cry. Especially that sexy blue jedi who gets shot in the swamp. Saddest moment in film history (apart from the end of 'The Champ').

That is a really painful place to get shot 'n all!!! By the way a sexy blue jedi!!?? Are you sure you've got the right film and are not talking about Smurfette from one of them Smurf films?

Pumpkinhead X Capes - January 27, 2006 01:56 PM (GMT)
Yoda - they're both wrinkly and talk in riddles.

R2 D2 for vocal qualities. Only some people understand him, plus he bitches & moans all the time - only SW character to swear even if blips & beeps.

Also, R2 gets seriously knocked around .... surely a drug taker of some form or other - but he keeps goin and goin :lol:

mimi - February 2, 2006 11:19 PM (GMT)
he's that beast in the dungeon, you know the one where theyre in jabba the hut's place and luke falls down into this pit.

thats him there.

Jean-Baptiste Clamence - February 7, 2006 02:55 PM (GMT)
He's that pissed alien in the Mos Eisley cantina who has a go at Luke Skywalker:

"My mate doesn't like you, I don't like you either, you puff WHERE'S THE FUCKIN' TAXI"

jon_the_goat - February 7, 2006 03:43 PM (GMT)
I can imagine MES as Jabba with Elena as Princess Lea tied to him with a chain.

The Man Whose Bed Diminished - February 7, 2006 04:14 PM (GMT)
Strange poll, but a tough call nonetheless.

Went for Han Solo, as a bounty hunter roaming the galaxy with whoever he chooses to take along for the ride, doing what he wants, but that which is mostly good.

Also the fact that he's not particularly tolerant of fools, and survives until the end I felt were MES-like charcteristics too.

Meanwhile, back in the real world. . .

Darth Vader. If only for the gloves.

What, no Admiral Akbar?

Darth Vader

He's all menacing & able to kill his assistants with just a thought, but we know that when he eventually takes off that mask he's an alright guy.

Oh, and he's also Luke's father ;)

He would be Chewbacca, because you wouldn't be able to understand what he was saying most of the time.
