Casting Call!
Ok, this is a fantasy casting call for a remake of Star Wars (the entire series, original trilogy and prequel).
Here is the catch - all roles must be filled by Muppets.
Luke Skywalker - Kermit the Frog
Princess Leia Organna - Miss Piggy
Darth Vader - Gonzo, but only becasue he has been "Dark Helmet"
Han Solo - Clifford
Lando Calrissian - Rizzo the Rat
Various background Imperial officers - Rats (except Rizzo)
\"Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.\"

Since Yoda is essentially a Muppet to start with (and voiced by Frank Oz), does he get to play himself?

Philip - right, I was tying to imagine Beeker as Grand Moff Tarkin....

Dude... Chickens. They're even the right color.
Also, there must be penguins running around the rebel base on Hoth.

My wife suggested chickens as stormtoopers.
Can't you just chickentroopers boarding the Tantive IV with Gonzo following the proclaiming "I want those plans..."
