Coronation Street and Star Wars

I've realised how many times Coronation Street references Star Wars this week. following Owen comparing himself to Han Solo, and Sunita comparing him to Chewbacca in Friday's episode. One of my favourite scenes of this year, was David and Gary talking to the police, when David comes out with the famous line "These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along". I wonder which one of the writers is a closet Star Wars fan then?

Anyway, getting to the point, I was wondering which Corrie characters are most suited to the weird and wacky world of Star Wars. I agree with Sunita, Owen would make a fantastic Wookie, or perhaps one of those little teddy bear Ewoks.

And there's always Gail...

    Can see Dev as Jar Jar Binks, but Owen as an Ewok? Nah, they were cute.

    Kevin Webster as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader- transformed from harmless garage mechanic to a hideous love rat and has a son with no idea who his father is.
