    Since its that time of year again this thread is for talking, posting, etc....... about which star wars character you would cast in a star wars version of A Christmas Carol TV special (if there ever was one of course). List of characters:

    Ebenezer Scrooge
    The protagonist, Scrooge is a cold, miserly creditor whose redemption to kindness and selflessness forms the arc of A Christmas Carol. Scrooge represents the Victorian rich who neglect the poor and think only of their own well-being. The most motivation Dickens provides for Scrooge's character is his depiction of him as a young boy; neglected by his peers and, it appears, by his father, the young Scrooge seemed determined to live only for himself as he aged.

    Bob Cratchit
    Cratchit is Scrooge's overworked employee, a timid man afraid to stand up to his boss's demanding ways. The patriarch of a family poor in wealth but rich in love, he cares especially dearly for his crippled son, Tiny Tim. Cratchit is a symbol for the Victorian poor, good-hearted and hard-working but unable to climb out the stifling conditions of poverty.

    Ghost of Christmas Past
    The first ghost to visit Scrooge, the small, elderly figure represents memory.

    Ghost of Christmas Present
    A giant clad in robes, this ghost has 1800 brothers and a life span of one day. He represents celebration and charity.

    Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come
    This solemn, silent phantom represents death, but also the presents the possibility that the future is not determined, but open to the free will of humans.

    Fred
    Scrooge's nephew, Fred embodies the jollity and sharing of Christmas. He refuses to let Scrooge's "Bah! Humbug!" attitude bring him down, and is overjoyed when his uncle converts and attends his party.

    Tiny Tim
    Cratchit's crippled son, Tiny Tim represents the overwhelming goodness of the Christmas spirit.

    Jacob Marley
    Scrooge's old partner, Marley appears to Scrooge as a ghost and warns him about the dangers of being obsessed with money.

    Fezziwig
    The young Scrooge's jolly, selfless boss.

    Belle
    Scrooge's former girlfriend, she breaks up with him because of his greed.

    Fan
    Scrooge's younger sister.

    Have fun[face_peace]

    How dare you judge me by my past actions. I meant every word. I just suck at coming up with suitable fill-ins for these types of things so I rarely contribute my own suggestions.

    Ebenezer Scrooge::Han Solo (understudy Anakin Skywalker)
    The protagonist, Scrooge is a cold, miserly creditor whose redemption to kindness and selflessness forms the arc of A Christmas Carol. Scrooge represents the Victorian rich who neglect the poor and think only of their own well-being.

    Scrooge's nephew, Fred embodies the jollity and sharing of Christmas. He refuses to let Scrooge's "Bah! Humbug!" attitude bring him down, and is overjoyed when his uncle converts and attends his party.

    Ebenezer Scrooge- Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. The journey will be made by Darth Vader. The past will show Anakin as he appeared in Episodes 1, 2, and 3. When he's redeemed at the end, he takes off his mask to reveal the older Anakin(Sabastian Shaw...normal looking, without the burns and scars)

    Jacob Marley- Obi Wan Kenobi(fun fact, Alec Guinness played Marley in 1970's Scrooge). We would see Ep 3's Ewan Mcgregor in the past.

    Bob Cratchit & family- Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their kids Jaina, Jacen, and Tiny Tim would be Anakin Solo

    Fred & wife- Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade

    Belle- Padme Amidalla

    Ghost of Christmas Past- C3PO(I kinda picture him as the Jiminy Cricket type from Disney Christmas Carol)

    Ghost of Christmas Present- Yoda(while obviously not a giant, he was pretty jolly when Luke first met him in ESB)

    Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come- Emperor Palpatine/ Darth Sideous

    Fezziwig- Qui-Gon Jinn

    Fan- Beru Whitesun Lars

    If there are TCW spies scanning this forum (Filoni et al), take note!

    Y'know, I can actually see this one. I especially love the image of poor, conflicted Jerjerrod as Bob Cratchit. :p

    Also, good choice of ghosts. But isn't your choice for Fezziwig kind of a spoiler?;) :p
