    Gordon was like a preview to Spoony Edward.
    Really, this was the first 'evil empire' game. The WARSHIP was a lot like the Death Star, yes. This was probably the first RPG to have plot twists as well. Also, the emperor's 'surprise' comeback was really unexpected....even after being jaded on such plot twists, this one still caught me off guard.

    The guy who is always talking to Jar Jar is Scott. Josef is Qwi gon because he died so early. Go Yoda!

    Final Fantasy II reminds me a lot about Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back. Both are also very dark in their atmospheres. As for which character I think is like which:

    Frionel - Luke Skywalker
    Maria - I think Princess Leia would be a good choice, but I think she's still more calm and peaceful than Leia, so I think Padmé Amidala.
    Guy - Chewbacca sounds good...
    Princess Hilda - Mon Motha (the leader of the Rebel Alliance)
    Minh - Either Qui-Gon or Yoda. Fine, it's Yoda.
    Joseph - He's a great fighter, right? I think he's like Mace Windu. (SPOILER)He also gets killed by a traitor after you've beat the living out of an enemy boss.
    Gordon - Either Jar Jar Binks or C3PO. Make your pick.
    Cid - Han Solo sounds good.
    Layla - I'll insert Princess Leia here. She's arrogant enough to be Leia.
    Richard - Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Leonhart - Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
    Emperor Palamecia - Emperor Palpatine
    Paul - BoBa Fett would be neat, but Paul's a good guy. Lando will do.
    General Gotus - Governor Tarkin (or Admiral Piett)
    Beavers - Ewoks
    Airship - Millennium Falcon
    Warship - Death Star
    Blood Sword - Mace Windu's purple lightsaber that can (SPOILER)make short work of the Emperor very quickly.

    That's all I can think of for now.

    This had to be done.
    Amidala
    The Emperor
    Granted, the hair isn't an exact match, but it is remarkably simmilar.

    Yea, the makers of FF2 clearly copied off the Star Wars prequels that didn't even exist.

    Or, George Lucas clearly copied his characters off an obscure video game that hadn't been officially released in English until after Episode I was made.

    So everything with a Rebel alliance and an Empire is like Star Wars? Then my house is Episode 2.5.

    Maria isn't like Padme Amidala. Her role in the story is in no way similar. Now stop this foolish rumor mongering at once or I shall be forced to engage in the nerdiest of debates, and, as the local pie eating contest champion, I am CLEARLY more well qualified for such a debate than all of you combined.
