A Boston website published its version of the parallels between the Red Sox/Yankees series and Star Wars:

Rebel Alliance: Red Sox
Keep in mind this was a Boston website.

Evil Empire: Yankees
As claimed by Red Sox executive Larry Lucchino.

Luke Skywalker: Curt Schilling
Even with Schilling's Game 1 performance, you want both of these Jedi Knights to lead you into the belly of the Death Star...

Yoda: Terry Francona
They're both wise, old, and balding...

Chewbacca: Johnny Damon
See picture.



Obi-Wan Kenobi: Theo Epstein
Like Epstein, Obi-Wan Kenobi was in the thick of things from a young age, and made his share of hard decisions that would shape the fate of an entire galaxy.

Princess Leia: Pedro Martinez
Pedro's practically got the Jehri Curl buns already...

R2-D2: Manny Ramirez
They both make you stop, furrow your brow, and scratch your head in bewilderment.

C-3PO: Derek Lowe
Both are fussy, anxiety-riddled droids.

Han Solo: Jason Varitek
Both drive the ship, walk the walk, and are the men you want by your side at any given time and in any situation.

The Emperor: George Steinbrenner
The puppeteers of the Dark Side.

Darth Vader: Babe Ruth (Roger Clemens as 'The Voice')
Of course, Ruth and Clemens are the biggest players to move over to the Dark Side.
