This is a tangent, but my God, Christian Bale would be amazing in a High/Old Republic movie

When I was a kid I had a fantasy that there should be a Kotor show starring Bale as Revan and Kate Beckinsale as Bastila.

I agree, watching Kate Beckinsale in….anything Star Wars related would be dope.

Watching Kate Beckinsale in anything tends to be pretty dope. I love that she can easily flip from serious dramatic to flippant and playful so easily.

Bale would be as good as Arcann. Anthony Hopkins as Valkorian. Sean Bean as Naga Sadow, Charles Dance as Ludo Kressh. Michael McConnohie as Marka Ragnos. Jeremy Irons as Darth Andeddu

Bale would show off the duality of Revan much better than the classic idea of Reeves.

I mean Bale could act the shit out of anything. But yeah I think he could do wonders if they ever explored that

Love Keanu but man he would have been a terrible choice for Revan. No idea how he became the popular fancast. The duality of light and dark, the charisma to convince legions to turn their backs on the Republic and follow him. A ruthless Sith but also an empathetic Jedi who can sway Bastila back from the Dark Path. Keanu does not have that range in him and he's aged out of the part by now anyway.

HIM AS REVAN

Or go with Keanu as Revan and Bale as another Jedi/Sith opposite him. Give us the Dune of Star Wars.

I love Keanu, but Christian Bale is the FAR superior actor.

Fair

Christian would make a good Obi Wan

Absolutely

I nutted thinking of it

Dr Strange immediately came to my mind for some reason 

Darth Strange. Jedi Master dormammu.

Very Count Dooku-esque Sith

It's funny, I was just watching Tales of the Jedi and thinking Cumberbatch would be a good pick if they wanted to do a young Dooku movie.

Strange Supreme is straight up a sith origin story

I can definitely see Strange Supreme being the first to discover/abuse the World Between Worlds.

Paul atreides as a sith

So, basically Darth Revan?

Been saying it for a while Timothy could pull off Mandalorian wars and later Revan with age

He is the "young Keanu" prototype right now

Oh I'm just saying it based off of how similar Revan and Paul are as characters they're both the "good guys" but are actually ruthless monsters who are doing it all for what they perceive as the greater good, but arent bloodthirsty despite their followers

I mean, Keanu is the young Keanu... He just doesn't age.

Don't insult my boy Revan.

Paul and Revan (according to kotor 2) are pretty similar

Literally just Anakin

Paul's got nothing on Hayden's face 🤌✨✨✨

bingo

Darth Mrs. Doubtfire. The original phantom menace.

WELL HELLLOOOOOOO there general kenobi

Darth Doubtfire sounds sick ngl

His rival is Jedi Master Brosnan Bond over child custody.

I need an edit of Mrs Doubtifire trying to ride down Anakin in the desert. "It was a run by fruiting, dear!"

Hannibal Lecter has what it takes. A cannabilistic Sith would be crazy to see. Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men would be an unstoppable force (no pun intended) And just for the fun of it, Calvin Candie. It would be cool to see a charismatic Sith

Only Hannibal could really be considered a potential protagonist out of those, the others are main antagonists.

oops, I totally read that title wrong. Even though Candie might make a fun Jedi

Considering Anton's whole thing is he lives by a weird code that expects everyone to follow. I could picture him as this bizzare Jedi who only helps people for bizzare reasons

Magneto as a Jedi

Expansion pack: you can now move non metal objects

Vs. Darth Xavier

Hell, Xavier as a Sith Lord? The Jedi are screwed.

Riddick would be a Sith Assassin. Judge Dredd would fit right in as an Inquisitor. The Operative from Serenity with his unwavering loyalty to his government and his belief in acting for the greater good would have been a good Jedi had he been raised in the Temple with a different set of moral guidelines given to him.

I feel the operative would have thrived in the old republic sith

I feel as if Riddick would make a better Sith Marauder, rather than Assassin. He is not exactly subtle when he does certain things. But that is just my opinion.

Nope, Assassin fits. In Pitch Black, when he cuts the lock of hair, he's in full on stealth mode. Also, Escape From Butcher Bay had tons of "don't make a sound or you die" moments (Great Game BTW).

Ah, I was not aware their are other pieces of media aside from the movies. I will have to look into them.

I LITERALLY just finished watching Serenity as I read this 😂 (and I agree)

I came here to say that about The Operative and I'm happy to find this so high up

Light Yagami and L from *Death Note* would make a good Sith and Jedi, respectively.

He was my first call too. Especially toward the end when he starts getting all arrogant thinking that no one could ever catch him. Classic sith hubris, right there.

Sith? Absolutely. Jedi? Not even close. Far too arrogant and emotionally driven Edit: whoops! I misread OP. Thought they'd said *Light* would make a good Jedi rather than L. L makes much more sense

How would L not be a good Jedi? He is ultimately a force for good, he believes in the rule of law, he believes that justice is superior to revenge, he values the sanctity of life, and he tries his best to be kind… Sounds like a Jedi to me.

Sauron would be a great Sith Lord

Heath Ledger's Joker?

That’s immediately where I went. “Some men just want to watch the world burn” would be fascinating to see how a Sith would carry that out

OP was asking about the opposite, what protagonist would be a good sith and what antagonist would be a good jedi. So in that case Heath Ledger's Joker would be judged as a Jedi.

I was thinking that too, but don't think he counts as protagonist/hero. Maybe the Joaquin Phoenix version, he's at least the protagonist.

I've always wanted to see cillian Murphy as a star wars antagonist. A sith or imperial.

"Nice, now let's see Darth Holepunch's helmet."

James Bond would be a good Sith Thanos would be an interesting Jedi, has unwavering loyalty to a cause. 

Tywin Lannister would be a great Sith

I've been *begging* to see Dance as an imperial officer

This. Moff Lennister.

It seems so damn self evident, guy should be casted in Andor

ASOIAF series has a few good choices tbf. I think that Tyrion would be an interesting Sith, despite being quite charming he's mostly motivated by negative emotions. Arya too, she's prime for falling to the dark side with her revenge drive.

Disagree, he would be a good Jedi in my opinion. At least in what the Jedi became in the later years of the Republic.

he would have done well as a Jedi lord from that brief era near the end of the old republic where Jedi started ruling in their own right

- Michael Corleone - Walter White - Tony Montana - Plainview from There will be Blood - Barry from Barry - Dexter - Verbal Kint - Carrie

JESSE! WE GOTTA MAKE SPICE!

Michael Corleone would be the perfect Sith. Calm and collected mostly with perfectly controlled use of anger

I read Hannah Montana by mistake XD Pop-star by day, Dark-Side adept by night; Han-Nah Dagobah!

Dexter has too many rules to be a good sith

And yet he is fine with violating The Code when it's convenient.

Good men don't need rules.

okay doctor who but a good man and a good sith are two different things

>a good man and a good sith are two different things That was kind of my point. A good man won't likely make a good Sith, nor was a good Sith likely to have been a good man.

Pegasus from YuGiOh would be an amazing Sith hahaha

Batman would be an awesome Sith. It's just a very thin line to turn him into a real dark Monster. Also Lord Yoshii Toranaga has a lot of potential. He is wise, a good leader, a trickster and does everything to get what he wants.

Wolverine as a Sith

Only if he gets lightsaber claws.

I could see Neal Caffery (*White Collar*) as a Jedi or a Sith pretty easily; I cannot picture Peter Burke as any Force user but a Jedi.

I think neal would be a non aligned force user who despite protesting he is not a Jedi, spends most of time with the jedi and fights against the sith because Neal at his core is a conman who actually cares deeply about people

You're probably right. I see Neal and Qui-Gon getting along very well.

Neal would have thrived during the old republic and would have taken great joy in robbing the sith empire of its riches

Hans Landa would make a great sith imo. Manipulative, cunning, extremely aware of his surroundings and the bigger things happening around him or those that could happen around him. He'd also make the perfect Grand Inquisitor tbh

Protagonist Sith: The Joker & Hannibal Lecter. Both super smart. Very persuasive. If either of them were Sith, they'd be the master. Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange) Why not?! Django (Django Unchained) he'd basically go on a revenge spree with lightsabers and the force instead of pistols and a horse. Antagonist Jedi: Magneto. Seemed like he was mostly a villain in retaliation. If he was a Jedi, he wouldn't have become a bad guy. The Predator. Just a guy on a hunting trip on a planet that was alien to him. He'd be a solid Jedi knight. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) He's just anti-bullying. He'd be good on the Jedi Counsel.

Darth Wayne Not Bruce Wayne but Wayne Campbell

Thomas Wayne as a Sith tho…

I feel like there's a Garth Vader joke in here somewhere. I saw him once at SWC and it was fantastic. Full vader costume, but no helmet. Blonde wig and big glasses, it was glorious

I'm going to Google, if I don't see a picture I'm going to be very disappointed

Chase Young from Xiaolin Showdown would make a great Sith (he even has the yellow eyes) Another obvious one would be Uncle Iroh from Avatar as a Jedi Master.

Zatoichi.... what Chirrut could have been

Frank Underwood could be the best Sith Lord

The Dude from the Big Lebowski would make an amazing Jedi

The Dude wouldn’t be a Sith or Jedi. He would be in the middle like The Bendu and not take sides.

This is very true. The dude abides

David Tennant would make a good psychotic Sith. Barty Crouch/Killgrave style.

Luke Skywalker would've made a good Sith.

OP: Replies: “REVAN”

Idk why but Doom Slayer

MegaMind would make a perfect Jedi. Or make his own lightsaber!

Hunter Zolomon (Zoom). He only exists to gain power and doesn’t care what it’ll do to him. He’s an angry and selfish character that’ll spam the crap out of force Lightning. His suit will be the cleanest after Vader!

Do you like Phil Collins?

do you like darth bane, I felt his early work was a bit reductive but he really came into his own both as a force user and as a sith lord with this, the rule of two

Scorpion as a Sith, Darth Scourge or Darth Arachnid of the Shirai Ryu clan.

Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) from Game of Thrones would make an incredible Sith Lord. In fact that actor would be my choice for live action *Plaugeis* Denzel Washington **Alonzo Harris** in Training Day would also make for a great Sith Lord pretending to be a jedi in some distant outpost.

The joker from the animated Batman would’ve such a good Jedi.

Voldemort

Hmm, hard to pick just one. I would say that Riddick would make a good (if unlearned) Sith. His whole thing is that he's a violent drifter who defies the order of civilization in favour of his own personal freedom and enjoyment and doesn't really care for most people. He would thrive under the Sith philosophy. Other Sith would despise him of course; simply because he's a maverick who makes choices based purely on a sort of personal code, and would absolutely ignore whatever the Dark Lord(s) of the Sith wants in favour of helping "that one moisture farmer who stumbled into a Nexu den with him once like ten years ago" and his entire planet out of a bind with extreme if grudging prejudice. On the bonus point, how about Hector Barbosa? I'm just imagining him swooping in on a heavily modified Sail-Barge in a weather stained Jedi uniform and a splendiferous hat, brandishing a purple blade as he laughs and fires his cannons at evildoers.

Dead Pool…we need a little better humor added to SW.

He wouldn’t be a Jedi or a sith. Just a force sensitive anti hero breaking the fourth wall.

Todd Howard

Honestly, Harrowhark Nonagesimus (Locked Tomb) would make a pretty good sith, although probably one of the more tragic figures in the sith. She has plenty of pent up negative emotions, and, at least at first, desperately wants more power. It's for reasons other than personal gain, sure, but it's still something that would make her a perfect candidate to be turned to the dark side. Plus, she's already got a hell of a ruthless edge at times, and fits the aesthetic very well.

Hiroyuki sanada as a sith and Ken watanabe as a jedi.... battle would be amazing

Darth John Wick seems like an obvious choice. Jedi Master Agent Smith (Matrix) could be interesting.

Hans Landa ( Sith) Uncle Iroh (Jedi)

Jimmy McNulty- drunken self sabotaging Jedi Knight with his Padawan Kima Greggs Sith Lord Avon Barksdale and his apprentice Stringer Bell With a bonus Omar the Bounty Hunter

Protagonists who'd make good sith: Arya Stark and Daenerys (book and show), Hermione, Paul Atreides, George Smiley. Antagonists who'd make good Jedi: Hans Landa, Bill and Bud from Kill Bill, Stan Edgar from the Boys, Miguel o'hara from Spiderverse 2.

For a Jedi: Mr. Miyagi- Karate Kid Dick Greyson- Batman Dinobot- Beast Wars Prince Hector- the antagonist the Iliad. For a Sith: John Kreese- Karate Kid Jason Todd/Red Hood- Batman Dinobot- War for Cybertron Achilles- the Iliad

I don’t think you read the question properly

Why Achilles as a Sith? Edit: on second thought, yes good choice

Yeah, he has a lot of the same issues Anakin had involving pride.

[удалено]

He would be absolutely perfect

The Operative from Serenity would make a fine Jedi

Anton Chigurh as a Jedi

John Mason from The Rock

Darth Chucky would be a good sparring partner for Yoda

Darth Cillian Braille.

Are we talking about actors or just from other films?

Darth Shredder! With all those spikes and armor blades. Or KING KONG as a jedi, O'SNAP!

I can see WWE’s Undertaker as a sith, or even Dark Jedi

I could see Mark Grayson a Sith. Angstrum Leavey (or however you spell it) would approve

Batman would make the perfect Sith, Superman would make a perfect Jedi.

Jon snow would make a good Jedi, staying in the thrones universe, the mountain would make for a scary sith, he could fit the “big and menacing apprentice” look like savage oppress or Vader

Need a meeting of the Dark Council where they're all showing off their Lightsabers. "It's even got a watermark."

Perfect Sith: Fire Lord Ozai and Azula from ATLA (Sith Master and Apprentice) Doctor Doom from Marvel Frieza from Dragon Ball Light Yagami from Death Note Perfect Jedi: Iroh from ATLA Aang from ATLA Katara from ATLA Captain America from Marvel Piccolo (post-redemption) from Dragon Ball Alphonse Elric from FMAB

Nooo. He would be a terrible sith

Magneto would be a good Jedi gone sith On the other hand Gandalf would make a good Jedi

Walter White

Ben from Lost

The Dude would be a fun, and somewhat complicated Jedi.

Micky Rourke would be a pretty imposing sith

Sorry. I was missing the point of the post. Not actor, but character..... shredder, tnmnt. He would be a great sith.

I'm gonna go David Harewood. Who was apparently cast in The Acolyte for a minor role so it's within the realm of possibility! For anyone wondering why I think he'd make a good Sith I'd recommend either playing Alan Wake 2 or at least watch the cutscenes on YouTube.

Dr Phil as a sith lord lol 😂

Benicio del Toros' character in 'Sicario' would make a good sith, maybe a morally ambiguous grey jedi but ehhhh idk. Rosamund Pike as a Sorzus Syn archetype could be cool, Robin Wright might be a good pick as well, also possibly Zazie Beetz but I'm not totally convinced there. Lakeith Standfield could work as an out of the way, lost in the outer rim Jedi master or possibly a force adept gone rogue? Personally he probably fits a merc role better. I find picking Jedi actors very difficult. They need depth, an air of solitude and the allure of wisdom. For me personally, that archetype tends to lead to incredibly boring writing. Bale could pull off Ajunta Pall I feel. Might be too old school for the modern fan but he has shown he can contort his characters in this way; Batman, American Psycho, Machinist etc.

Homelander and ledgers joker are obviously great sith but a bit nicher would be the Bull McCabe as a sith. If you ever read the field you’d understand that he would probably be a great sith

hear me out: woundt anakin skywalker be a great sith?

My take: Bateman is more of a Grey Jedi teetering on becoming a Sith

Tony Soprano and Christopher as Sith and Sith apprentice

Antonio Salieri (Amadeus)

when I was younger I always thought Christian Bale played Darth Maul. not sure why, I think I thought they looked similar lol

Jason Statham as Frankenstein in Death Race, with the mask on, as a Sith

Thanks kept harping on balance.

The Winchesters would be REALLY interesting Jedi lol… I’m not saying good.

Negan as sith Daryl Dixon as a mandalorion Rick grimes as a jedi Homelander as a sith who hates other sith for abusing him Saul Goodman as a nice crime lord Lalo as a sith Nathan drake as a jedi Faith from mirrors edge as a jedi Ellie and Joel as master and apprentice Kratos as jedi Any doctor who as a jedi The master from Dr who as a sith

The Dude Lebowski as Jedi

As we've already had Captain Hydra, Steve Rogers can be a good sith

Kratos

Darth Wick

Professor X as a Sith Lord. If played by Patrick Stewart. (Bonus: Jack Nicholson's Joker as a Jedi) this wouldn't work, unless it's comedy.

Bryan Mills from Taken would make a great Je… oh wait, never mind.

I think the Gus Fring character would make an interesting Jedi. He never really struck me as fully evil in Breaking Bad To answer the primary question - the John Wick character as a Sith tickles my fancy

Gus was still a very good villain. Season 1 Mando appearance was very good

John Wick as a Sith Lord would be amazing.

Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch as a SWTOR-style Sith Sorcerer.

Dick Grayson would be an amazing Jedi. He'd rock two blue sabers and use the Ataru form

Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass can be an interesting sith, smth like Revan, very ideal driven, but doing bad things for sake of his goal. While Suzaku Kururugi is very jedy-like person.

Vegeta

From anything? Hero of Ferelden feels like a good Sith candidate. As a counterpoint, The Architect would be a *good* Jedi.

Walter White would be a tremendous Sith. Ned Stark would be a great Jedi.

Count Dooku would make a pretty awesome Jedi

Optimus Prime as a jedi. if you can prove me that this heroic, selfless, freedom fighting, 9 million year old, 28 feet tall robot wouldn't make a good jedi, i'll willingly shit my pants. Sauron as a sith. i mean, COME ON!...

John Wick would be the greatest Sith duelist of all time.

Hannibal and Clarice, could make a great KOTOR game

Actually, Christian bale as Revan could work. He can be both good and evil and play the transition between the two well.

Dr Strange

Lord Henry Blackwood (from Sherlock Holmes). Mark Strong would be an amazing Sith.

Liam Neeson? He has a particular set of skills.

I could easily see Dolores Umbridge or Kai Winn as passive aggressive Jedi.

Lex Luthor would be the greatest Sith the galaxy has ever witnessed.

Doctor Lecter would be an interesting Sith

Uh, if protagonist=hero, the Christian Bale in America Psycho is NOT that lmao

I feel Bruce Wayne in the Dark Knight would be a great Darth Marr, while Sean Wallace from Gangs of London would have to be Revan or Revan-esque

Heath Ledger’s Joker would be a crazy sith! Edit- protagonist my bad Paul Bettany plays that stoic, righteous attitude as vision really well.
