The San Jose Sharks and Their Star Wars Analogs

Well, it’s officially been over a year since i’ve had this blog. I missed the anniversary (oct. 3) because well, i don’t really care so much about it but i thought it was at least worth mentioning that i’ve been turning out this quality garbage content for over a year now. Happy birthday blog. I didn’t really plan this but it’s actually apropos that this would be my anniversary post because it’s a bit of a throwback to one of my first; “NHL Players and their Galra Counterparts: The Most Niche Content to Ever Exist” – a classic if i do say so myself.

This post will be a bit less niche, and will focus only on members of the Sharks, not the NHL at large. As always i welcome and encourage (though never expect) heated discourse and recommended additions in the comments below.

Before i get started i would like to give a shoutout to Star Wars Night at the Tank, which inspired me in the wake of its overall disappointment. They didn’t even have Obi Wan there or they had a lady pretending to be him? Not really sure but seriously how hard would it have been to get a convincing fake Obi Wan like they could have even gotten Ewan Mcgregor i bet like what honestly does he have going that’s so important it’s for the kids Ewan like they could have at least called him at least. Oh and also like no one was dressed up like really i don’t understand why everyone hates fun so much. Anyway, shoutout to Star Wars Night at the Tank 0/10 will definitely attend next year if only to give you all an update on the Obi Wan situation.

So without further ado, here is a list i’ve compiled, complete with visual aids, of whom the sharks would really be in the star wars universe, in spite of what their promotional poster would have you believe. A bit of warning: this post includes very powerful images, both cursed and otherwise. Proceed with caution.

(1) Obi Wan Kenobi – Joe Thornton (Jan)

  • this is a no brainer
  • basically just the Best Ever
  • powerfully blessed, healing image; saved me
  • wish he were here
  • he’d know what to do

(2) Anakin Skywalker – Logan Couture

  • another no brainer
  • extremely cursed image
  • massive ho
  • drama queen
  • 100% That Bitch™
  • wouldn’t be surprised to find out anakin has herpes
  • wouldn’t be surprised to find out logan gave it to him

(3) Luke Skywalker – Joe Pavelski

2017+NHL+All+Star+Portraits+mrfSp4V16avx.png

  • the main character
  • mainstream, palatable
  • but i still support him
  • abides by the wisdom of Jan/Obi Wan
  • not trying to imply that logan is joe’s dad i hope that goes without even being said
  • it just sort of worked out that way

(4) Chewbacca – Brent Burns

Chewie_ep3.png

  • ok i know this is a dead meme and it really irritates me when people use it out of context but this is the context where it’s actually appropriate and they share a lot of similarities besides having a lot of hair ok for example:
  • large and in charge
  • makes strange noises inexplicably
  • has regular baby attacks but means well
  • basically just a big weenie but i love him

(5) Han Solo – Paul Martin

  • Chewbacca/Brentie’s best pal
  • does what he wants
  • loves chaos
  • actually a really sweet dude
  • also not implying that paul martin is involved with organized crime

(6) Leia Organa – Justin Braun

  • wow that is One Cool Dude
  • everyone else is like a huge weenie compared to him

(11) Jar Jar Binks – Kevin Labanc

i also have a few other posts in the works currently – i know there’s been a bit of a dry spell on this blog but expect the reasonably regularly scheduled content to return soon. until then,
