Indie Wrestlers As Star Wars Characters
At the time of this article being published, we’re just days away from Star Wars Day, May 4. And to celebrate we’re comparing our favourite indie wrestling stars to characters from the iconic franchise set in a galaxy far, far away.
Let us know what you think of our picks…
Zoe Lucas - Rey

An obvious place to start, considering Zoe’s epic photoshoot with James Musselwhite where she embodies the hero of the sequel trilogy. The sequels may cause debate and divide opinion, but I think we can all agree this photoshoot is spectacular.
Big Van Wesker - Darth Vader

A big, intimidating figure behind a mask who could take out all the Jedi in his path, there’s only one person it could be! Put a red lightsaber in Wesker’s hand and he’d have people fleeing left, right and centre.
Man Like Dereiss - Obi-Wan Kenobi

The ultimate hero, the goodest good guy of them all, Dereiss is the hero we all need, the person to take out all the evil of BritWres. We don’t know what Obi-Wan’s singing is like but we imagine he could definitely take on Dereiss
Lizzy Evo - Princess Leia

A warrior, a fighter, the one who stands up for what’s right and is absolutely tough as nails. You’re right, that sentence could’ve been used to describe Alderaan’s princess and the Liverbird.
Jetta - Padme Amidala

Well who else could we pick for the former Queen of Naboo than the most royal member of British wrestling.
Shreddy - Chewbacca

Okay this was a tough one. Shreddy isn’t exactly mega hairy, but we needed someone big and capable of chucking Stormtroopers around at ease, making him an obvious candidate.
Warren Banks - Lando Calrissian

Smooth, suave and sophisticated, a real charmer and always knows how to get what he wants. I mean we’d swoon for him…Warren I mean, well nah, actually, both.
Charles Crowley - Darth Maul

We can see Dereiss being the bane of Crowley’s life in wrestling, so that’s one reason we picked him. But we also needed someone who is a little crazy and has the ability to survive being chopped in half.
Spike Trivet - Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious

The only person in BritWres we can think of who is diabolical and smart enough to enact a evil plan over the course of decades in order to bring down the entire Jedi order.
Joe Lando - Luke Skywalker

A plucky youngster who enjoys a quick rise to being one of the best Jedi in the history of the galaxy. Now, replace the word ‘Jedi’ with the word ‘wrestler’ and who do you have…Lando.
