Ai Reimagines Star Wars With Thanos, Joker & Others As Sith Lords & Jedi Knights

This is an inspired concept that shows how exactly other properties would function in the «Star Wars» universe. Creative liberties would obviously have to be taken, but it’s interesting to see the likes of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) from «Dune» sporting two red lightsabers. It’s a full circle moment, as «Star Wars» architect George Lucas was influenced by Frank Herbert’s «Dune» novels. One of the «Dune» books even had a «Star Wars» diss, which makes Atreides’ inclusion as a Sith Lord in the concept all the more hilarious. 

Other characters who show up include «Games of Thrones» icon Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). The dragon rider is ready to fight with a yellow lightsaber, which has significant meaning in «Star Wars» lore. Considering Daenerys was morally grey, it makes sense that the character isn’t walking around with a red or blue lightsaber, which explicitly reflects one’s allegiance to the light or dark side of the force. While the concept imagines Daenerys in the franchise, Clarke already played Qi’ra in «Solo: A Star Wars Story.» It’d be cool to imagine the smuggler one day getting her hands on a lightsaber and duking it out with Darth Maul (Ray Park). 

The wackiest part of this concept is the idea of Shrek, an ogre from a fantasy world, rocking a green saber. The character already looks like an alien and would make an excellent addition to the Jedi ensemble. Then there’s Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as a Sith, which is an insane idea, considering «Breaking Bad» is not exactly a kid-friendly space opera. Nonetheless, a Sith Heisenberg would definitely serve as one of the nastiest criminals the Coruscant underworld has ever seen.
