major Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The careers of Ralph Wilson and George Lucas are very similar (in my opinion). In the 1970's and early 80's, George Lucas was at the height of his trade (the original Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, etc...). Currently, he has Indiana Jones 4 and the prequels of Star Wars on his resume. Suffice to say, he was better in the beginning. The same can be said of Ralph. He started out in the 1960's winning two AFL championships, had a gap, then came back with 4 trips to the Super Bowl in the 90's. Currently, he has the entire span from 2000 to 2011 where nothing has happened and huge chunks of the 70's and 80's where nothing happened (you can compare this to Lucas' HOWARD THE DUCK). Again, Ralph was better in the beginning. I also find it funny that the fan bases of Star Wars and Buffalo are alike as well. We have a love/hate relationship with our creators. We love them because they started what we love, but we hate them due to the current product they produce. Kind of amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 So does this mean: 1. Eric Wood is a Wookie; 2. Fragile Trent Edwards was Princess Lea; 3. OJ Simpson was Darth Vader; 4. Doug Flutie was Yoda; and 5. Jim Kelly was Luke Skywalker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they both make loads of money on a legacy by tantalizing fans and perpetually re-releasing incremental-improvement (based on the physical medium delivered to the masses, and saying nothing of the writing/acting in the prequels) versions of their products. In the case of SW: VHS, VHS with 1997 edits, VHS with 2004 edits. Only then after 10 years of DVD profligacy and he'd drained the VHS market fully did Lucas release DVDs. And then came out in original versions, 1997 edits versions, 2004 extended edits versions, Blu-rays will finally be released this fall, then 3-D Blu-ray will be released whenever those sales drop off.

mrags Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don't care what anyone says. Howard the Duck was a great movie!!! I'd have to say only current players on the team for Star Wars characters so here goes: Fitz is defenately a wookie with that beard. Stevie Johnson is Vader (he'd enjoy playing the heel) or at a 2nd thought, maybe Dareus Fred Jackson is Han Solo (you can always count on Fast Freddie) CJ is Luke (Jedi in training but not quite there yet) Donte is like CP3O (so damn annoying and won't shutup) Buddy is like Yoda Chan is Obewan Ralph is the Emporor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saundena Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Donte is like CP3O (so damn annoying and won't shutup) Just one comment, Dante could also be Jar Jar Binks using your logic!

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Fred Jackson is Han Solo (you can always count on Fast Freddie) Donte is like CP3O (so damn annoying and won't shutup) Ralph is the Emporor I particularly like those three. I also nominate Michael Jasper as a similarly sized, but hopefully much more athletic version of, Jabba the Hutt. If Jasper and Dareus get on the field together, they'd be the Hutt and the Hulk!

Doug Flutie was Yoda; and 5. Jim Kelly was Luke Skywalker? Mike Williams was Jaba the Hut, Donahoe was Vader and Ralph is emperor Palpatine.

Thought about Jasper as Hut but I always hated Hut. Switching to a different movie (X-Men) he should be Michael "the Juggernaut" Jasper. Or Colossus but Juggernaut is more bad ass and goes better with Jasper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent Lucas sequels and prequels have been good. Wilson got lucky a few times between decades of bumbling. Actually, their similarity is based on the fiction they produce: George on the big screen and Ralph in his interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Parrish is an Ewok. Moorman is Wedge Antilles. Chris Kelsay is Porkins. Fred Jackson is more Wedge Antilles than Moorman. And Merriman is Lando Calrissian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest difference between the two though, and I have never been a Star Wars fan at all, is Lucas puts a quality product out just about every time while Ralphy hardly if ever does.
