'Dorkly' imagined what it might look like if six characters from the original Star Wars franchise met their modern-day equivalents. Forming the thought into a short video, the results are rather hilarious.
Done in retro 8-bit form, this video features original Star Wars characters such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo and more. Each original character is paired with a modern equal, which are characters taken from the Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens film. While Skywalker is matched with Rey in the dessert, Darth Vader is disappointed to find his legacy has been carried on by none other than Kylo Ren.
Filled with geeky humor, each set of characters discuss their conflicts, fates and the similarity of the films that they appeared in.
