Comparing Famous Western Australians to characters from Star Wars

Sometimes it can be hard to memorize our notable locals, so I made this video to make it easier. Star Wars is a popular franchise with many colourful and memorable characters, which makes it perfect to compare with the delightful and colourful characters of our wildflower state.

Gina Rinehart (mining magnate): Ziro the Hutt’s Mum. She’s big, lives in the desert, and also hates her children. Not to mention the Hutts have a particular lust for gluttonous levels of wealth. She can't be Jabba the Hutt either as this is reserved for a particularly palmy loving magnate.

Mark McGowan (State Premier)  - The Mandalorian. MR. McGowan has a renowned job of kicking arse and taking suits, he understands the language of the Sandgropers, and emotionally speaking the Mandalorian has HARD BORDERS.

Tony Galati (owner of Spud Shed): That flying bug king on the first episode of Star wars the clone wars. King Katuunko of planet toydaria. Let's have a side to side comparison here. You simply cannot tell the difference, they’re both KINGS. In much the same way Katuunko provided supplies to Ryloth against the wishes of the confederacy, Spud King provides potatoes to needy West Australians in spite of what the Potato Marketing Corporation says. Which leads me to my next assessment. The potato marketing corporation IS the wildflower states version of the separatist alliance of the clone wars. 

Kerry Stokes (Owns the West Australian newspaper) - Those weird Trade Federation people that are pretty much the Khajiit of Star Wars, led by big eyeballs Nuke Gunray. Who mostly likely uses said eyes to watch sport and report on politics simultaneously. 

Basil Zempilas (Perth mayor) - I had help from a perthling in writing this part of the video because A. Free Labor, as any Zygerrian would tell you, is good labour, and B, because all I know about the lord mayor Basil Zempilas is childhood memories of being forced into silence and “to STOP FIDGETING” while GWN7 news was talking about sports. Also that his name is a herb. My perthling friend thinks Zempilas is like Sebulba, because he is Slimy as a motherfucker, and will do anything for money. Given he worked in media, I would not be surprised, literally everyone who works in any form of media are a bunch of sinful greedy, terrible all round people. Don't forget to share this article around BTW.

Mad Dog (Adrian) - Saw Gerrera. Here me out. Extreme, beloved, and almost certain to incite a rebellion in Midland in the coming decades, provided he doesn’t die from vehicular manslaughter

Let's speed this up a little bit:

Colin Barnett (former premier) - that shark general in the calamari war (based)

Daniel Ricciardo - Young Anakin Skywalker (this is podracing)

Twiggy Forrest (second richest Australian) - The pirate Hondo

Kim Beazley(late governor general) - Kit Fisto, he has a relaxed demeanour yet in spite of being incredibly relaxed somehow commands positions of immense power and/or title. I have read a little bit about Kim Beazley from Kevin Rudd's books, and I can say with almost the utmost certainty that A. He was probably an undercover CIA agent trying to Girlboss the ALP with good vibes, and B. That man would make an incredibly good Jedi master.

Tim Winton (author) - The 501st Journal from legends. I got an audio rendition of dirt music, lets play it to compare. There is no doubt in my mind that Tim Winton is the 501st legion guy. I mean just look at a picture of him, don’t you think that if there was a clone army program in Western Australia they would look exactly like THIS MAN.

Rodney rude - that sickening poet that darth sidious reads

Literally any picture of a West Australian from the 1930s - Gman

Mitchel and Michael from radio - Martez sisters

The Waifs (aussie roots band) - Max Rebo Band, a 12 piece band that played for the Hutt Family. Their lead singer Mrs Snooty killed Ziro the Hutt, and I like imagining the lead singer of the waifs secretly plotting the murder of the future CEO of BHP.

Eskimo Joe (WA band) - one of my top favourite bands, which is no surprise as every bogan aunty would have black fingernails, red wine as their ringtone. But judging by pure appearance alone I would say Eskimo Joe is the Model node. Just look at the getup, if that doesn’t scream Eskimo Joe IDK what does.

This has been my assessment of some well known Western Australians. Be sure to message me through my Discord or Facebook if you think I missed anyone important.
