She replied, “Darth Vader would have to be Vince McMahon. Princess Leia, Me.” The former six times women’s champion also added that Big E could play Chewbacca. A funny segment was shared during the podcast when everyone on the podcast panel acknowledged that R-Truth could play the most amusing character of Star Wars, Jar-Jar Binks.

The Chairman of WWE Vince McMahon in Darth Vader’s character seems appropriate. Darth Vader is not just a villainous character; he is the most charismatic villain developed by George Lucas. However, let us not forget that the big man Vince McMahon portrays the same powerful personality.

WWE and Star Wars crossover!

As mentioned earlier, the series is a spin-off plot of the original franchise, Star Wars. George Lucas in the 1970s gave the world of cinema an excellent display of graphics and characters that are remembered throughout eternity.

She has detailed every character from Star Wars, and Mark Andrews asked her if she could think of a crossover between WWE and Star Wars. “Baby Yoda? Can I say? Hornswoggle,” the next moment, the host and Banks shared a laugh.
