Carolina Hurricanes as Star Wars Original Trilogy Characters

THE SCOUNDRELS

We do love the scoundrels of the Star Wars Universe, don’t we? These bad boys were the reason the movies did so well. Sure, they broke the law, but they did it with style while still somehow being good guys.

Han Solo- Dougie Hamilton

We love you, Dougie! “I know”.

Man, Han Solo was one cool cat. He can do the Kessel run in only 12 parsecs. We didn’t know what that meant. It has nothing to do with Phil Kessel, but it sounded cool. Solo also never took himself seriously. Neither does equally cool at Dougie Hamilton. Floss after being named the first star? Why not? It also is interesting that he does like to hang around with a giant furry friend.

Chewbacca- Petr Mrazek

While not the furry friend I meant when talking about Hamilton, Petr Mrazek stars as another unintelligible giant brown furball. Yes, Chewbacca. Both men are giant but soft-spoken. And when the going gets tough, both are not afraid of getting pretty violent. Their celebrations are also pretty memorable too.

Lando Calrissian- Nino Niederreiter

Calrissian had style, he had swagger, and he was a complete scoundrel. Sound like anyone we know? Nino Niederreiter fits the bill. Compete with swagger and style. The only difference is that Lando was also kind of a two-timing traitor. Who invites Darth Vader to dinner? WHO?

Wicket W. Warrick- Haydn Fleury

Small, cuddly, cute, and packs quite the punch. Never underestimate him. Wicket, the leader of the Ewoks was a miniature badass that stormtroopers kept underestimating. Much like Haydn Fleury. Watching him wreck offensive efforts is a national pastime.
