A few weeks ago, Ranma/Star Wars crossovers were being discussed, and 
someone said something that stuck in my head.  They said the fun wasn't 
in matching Ranma charcters to the film charcters, but in mismatching 
them.  It seems like it could be far more intersting if you deliberately 
cast each Ranma charcter to be in a film role that is absolutely 
mismatched to his/her personality and normal attitudes.

With that in mind, here are some of my choices.....  (Sorry if I mispell 
some of the Star Wars stuff.  It's been a while.)

The Emperor.....  Kasumi
"Oh won't you please come over to the dark side?  If you do, I'll make 
us all some tea while we watch your Rebel friends being destroyed."

Luke Skywalker.... Tatewaki Kunou
"The Blue Thunder needs no training from the likes of you!"

Princess Leia..... Kodachi Kunou
(technically, the brother/sister thing is a match, but it's too 
perfectly mismatched all other ways)
"Oh-ho-ho-ho!  Come to me Obi-won, the Black Rose desires your aid!"

Darth Vader..... Akane Tendo
"Come to the Dark Side now you Baka!"  (Whams Kuno with a mallet.)

Han Solo..... Mousse
"I don't believe in all that force mumbo-jumbo.  I believe in my 
weapons!"  (Brandishes about a hundred different varieties of knives and 
blasters.)

Chewbacca...... Nabiki
"...."  (She still can't talk, but is still the real brains of the pair. 
 Come to think of it, just like in the movie.)

Lando Calrission..... Shampoo
"Shampoo sorry had to cut deal for safety of Amazon mining city.  We 
still go on date, yes?"  (I leave it up to you to decide if she's 
talking to Leia or Luke.)

Obi-won Kenobi..... Ranma Saotome
"I thought I could train that uncute tomboy as well as Yoda could.  I 
was wrong."

Yoda.... Genma Saotome
"Our next training session involves this pit of cats.  Don't try to 
sneak away.  The path of a true Jedi Knight is full of danger!"

Threepio..... Ukyou Kuonji
"I know how to make over three million varieties of okonomiyaki!"

R2D2.......  Ryouga Hibiki
"Beep.  Beep.  Beeeeeeeep!  Crash!"  (Tries to crack a computer console. 
 Gets increasingly frustrated, and finally smashes the whole thing)

Biggs..... Tsubasa
(Appears once, then vanishes.)

Jabba the Hutt.....  Nodoka
"So Skywalker, let us see just how manly you really are!  Into the 
Rancor pit with the robe-wearing specimen of unmanliness!"

Bobba Fett..... Soun Tendo
"Boo-hoo-hoo!  <sob>  But Jabba really wants him alive.  <demon head>  
How can you expect me to dishonor my family by not following through on 
my bounty!"

Wedge Antilles....  Akarii
"Oh you're so cute R2!  My family manufactures astromech droids for a 
living!"

Luke's Aunt and Uncle (can't remember names).... Cologne and Happosai
(I won't even even attempt to do a quote.)

Mon Mothma (eh, the rebel leader)..... Dr. Tofu
"We must must come together to defeat the Empress.... the Empress..... 
oh, it's such a nice day today, isn't it?  I believe I feel like 
dancing!)

Did I miss anybody important?  Anyone willing to do the mismatch fic?  
It's been far too long since I've seen Star Wars for me to attempt it.
