Highlander is really Star Wars
By Sharon L / AdamMethos@aol.com

Has anyone ever noticed that Highlander bears a strange resemblance to a certain galaxy far, far away? Let's compare...

  • Luke Skywalker, the hero, was taught the ways of the Force by Obi-Wan Kenobi, an old Jedi Knight.
  • Duncan MacLeod, the hero, was taught about honor by Hideo Koto, an old samurai warrior.
  • Luke fights with a lightsaber, the ancient weapon of the Jedis.
  • Duncan fights with a katana, the ancient weapon of the samurais.
  • Luke's father Anakin turned to evil, left his family, and Luke was taken in by his uncle Owen.
  • Duncan's father thought he was evil, threw him out of the clan, and Duncan was taken in by his cousin Connor.
  • Han Solo is a smuggler but he has a heart of gold.
  • Amanda is a thief but she has a heart of gold.
  • Princess Leia has a sharp tongue and acts like a know-it-all.
  • Methos... ahem.
  • C-3P0 is an annoying sidekick who is always stumbling into trouble and needing the heroes to bail him out.
  • Richie... ahem.
  • C-3PO runs off because he thinks he sees a stormtrooper and ends up getting blasted to pieces.
  • Richie runs off because he thinks he sees Horton and ends up getting his head whacked off.
  • Chewbacca is really hairy.
  • Joe has a beard.
  • Darth Vader, the villain, has an unnatural voice and is always killing the people who work for him.
  • Kalas... ahem.
  • When we first meet Luke, he has longer hair and flyaway bangs that were popular in the 70s.
  • Methos... ahem.
  • Luke has a bright orange flightsuit, but usually wears neutral colors like beige, khaki and black.
  • Methos has a bright red pair of pants, but usually wears neutral colors like gray, brown and black.
  • Yoda has spent many years hiding on the planet Dagobah, until he's found by Luke.
  • Methos has spent many years hiding in the Watchers, until he's found by Duncan.
  • Luke was surprised to find that the little green alien was really Yoda, the Jedi Master he was seeking.
  • Duncan was surprised to find that Adam Pierson was really Methos, the old Immortal he was seeking.
  • Yoda is a very old alien who tests and trains Luke to be the one who rids the galaxy of Darth Vader and the Emperor.
  • Methos is a very old Immortal who tests and trains Duncan to be "the one" in the final battle between good and evil.
  • Yoda said, "Judge me by by size, do you? And well, you should not."
  • Methos said, "Just because I don't like to fight, doesn't mean that I can't."
  • Yoda has really big ears but very wise and expressive eyes.
  • Methos has a really big nose but very wise and expressive eyes.
  • Luke descends into a dark tree and fights a metaphorical battle with his evil self.
  • Duncan descends into a dark cave and fights a metaphorical battle with his evil self.
  • Han Solo's past comes back to haunt him when he's carbon frozen then forced to face his old boss, Jabba the Hutt.
  • Methos' past comes back to haunt him when he's stabbed in the heart then forced to face his old boss, Kronos.
  • When the Emperor died, there was lightning and sparks and a great release of energy.
  • When an Immortal dies, there is lightning and sparks and a great release of energy.
