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.

was taught about honor by Hideo Koto, an old samurai warrior.

the ancient weapon of the Jedis.
- Duncan fights with a
katana, the ancient weapon of the samurais.

turned to evil, left his family, and Luke was taken in by his uncle
Owen.

he was evil, threw him out of the clan, and Duncan was taken in by his
cousin Connor.

but he has a heart of gold.

she has a heart of gold.
- Princess Leia has a sharp
tongue and acts like a know-it-all.

sidekick who is always stumbling into trouble and needing the heroes
to bail him out.
