I thought this might be fun:

Relate your favorite video games or consoles to Star Wars characters or movies.

For instance, if you think Nintendo was evil, you could say that Nintendo was like the Empire, in that they dominated the scene for "a long, long time" and ruled with an iron fist.  Then the heroic Rebel Alliance, in the form of Sega, came along.  First they were defeated when their SMS was crushed, but they formulated a newer and better plan and came to destroy the Death-Star-like NES with their Genesis console.  And the Ewoks partied.*

Or you could say that Sony's PS2 was like Darth Vader when it took out the kind and gentle Obi-Wan Dreamcast. 

Or how 'bout the 2600 as the Death Star facing down a rag-tag group of motley fighters as personified by all the other lesser-known and less-successful consoles (Odyssey2, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Channel F, etc.).

Or something.

OH HELL NO! You did NOT just diss Ewoks and C-3PO in the same sentence! Bastard!

Well, I'd say the 360 is like R2-D2. It's very complicated technology, is really cool, has a slick look, and is pretty damn smart!

No, I didn't diss (or is that "dis?") C-3PO at all.  I was saying that Ewoks are stupid and would likely make an Atari controller their king the way they made C-3PO their king in Return of the Jedi, with the bamboo chair and all that.  I was just specifying the scene I was referring to.

Dammit.  Just when I thought I was being clever and original, someone else already came up with the idea.  And did it badly.

No matter.  As long as I'm posting anyway, I'll go again.  I would compare the PS3 to Darth Vader, because it's all big and bad and cloaked in black, but in the end it just doesn't have staying power.  That would make the Wii, in the Skwalker role, the comparative lightweight that ends up slaying the evil overlord.

Hmm... On the other hand, if Nintendo regains market dominance and reverts to its old tricks from the '80s, that would make the Wii more like Anakin, in that it comes on seeming all benevolent and quietly powerful in its youth, but ends up turning evil and oppressive.

Who would be the Han Solo character, the lovable rogue rapscallion?
