In honor of it being May the Fourth, i.e. Star Wars Day, here is a list of Mets players re-imagined as Star Wars characters:

Rey – Michael Conforto

Both were abandoned in the desert despite having great skills.  Now, their opportunity has unexpectedly arrived, they are ready to be great like everyone once expected them to be.

Jyn Erso – David Wright

They have both sacrificed everything to be a part of this and to lead everyone to victory.  It’s heartbreaking what happened to them.  It’s incumbent on everyone to succeed and be victorious to honor their legacy.

Han Solo – Curtis Granderson

They were once great, but now they are older and are barely holding on at this point.  As we know, it ends badly for both of them.

Luke Skywalker – Zack Wheeler

We thought both had disappeared and were never to be heard from again.  Despite all odds, they have been re-discovered, but they may be here for the end of something (Jedi, Five Aces) than contributing to it.

Snoke – Ray Ramirez

They are both trying to oversee the destruction of everything, and we don’t know why they want to do it.

Jar Jar Binks – Rafael Montero

The question isn’t just why they are still here, the question is why did they exist in the first place.

K-2SO – Matt Harvey

While it may have been the opposite years ago, they are now the ones taking the bullets for everyone.  It’s only a matter of time before they break down.

C3PO – Steven Matz

Both are constantly broken down, and we still do not know what is going on with their arms.

Jabba the Hut – Bartolo Colon

Both are massive, and both are now the enemy.

Saw Gerrera – Noah Syndergaard

Literally, no one thought what they were doing or how they were going about things was a good idea.  Yet, they did them anyway, and now they are gone leaving others to scramble to do the job we once they were best suited.

Poe Dameron – Seth Lugo

Both played extremely important roles in the beginning of the saga (Poe – new trilogy, Lugo – aces getting injured).  We are now just awaiting Lugo to return when he is needed again just like Poe did.

Finn – Jay Bruce

They were both told to do things a certain way, and it just wasn’t working for them.  Now, the are in much better situtations, with people who realize who they really are, and they are thriving.

Galen Erso – Sandy Alderson

They were the ones with the grand plan, and they put all the pieces in place.  However, they are now watching as things are falling apart all around them.  Both need a miracle.  Galen got his.  We’ll see about Sandy.

Wickett – Wilmer Flores

Both are considered cute and cuddly, but they are warriors that will tear you to shreds . . . especially if you are a left-handed pitcher.

Death Star – Fernando Salas

Both were thought to be completely indestructible, and yet every time we see them they are getting blown up by the opposition.

General Leia Organa – Jose Reyes

They’re both back looking to recapture past glory.  Sadly, we don’t think things are going to work out for them like we once thought it would.

Yoda – Yoenis Cespedes

Believe it or not, Cespedes is smaller than everyone, and yet, like Yoda he is the most powerful.  Also, with his constant leg issues, he hobbles around like Yoda does.

Maz Kanata – Dan Warthen

Wedge Antilles – Lucas Duda

Time and again, their contributions are overlooked.  Wedge took part in blowing up both Death Stars.  Duda was the first base man for the pennant winner and one the Mets cannot adequately replace when he’s not on the field.  Despite all of that, no one seems to want to give them credit for their contributions.

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Jacob deGrom

Princess Leia said it best when she said, “Help me Jacob deGrom, you’re my only hope.”

May the Force Be with You and Lets Go Mets!
