This might be one of the best lists I've seen on here. I honestly never thought about the similarities; but clearly there are plenty. Very well done.

Will Turner could be Luke Skywalker also because their fathers both went bad (piracy/dark side of force).

Thanks NFG. Good spot.

This list has blinded me with its awesomeness.
Posted : 2 weeks, 4 days ago at Nov 3 15:41
Great list! The only one I think it's a bit stretched would be Barbossa/Boba Fett.
Posted : 2 weeks, 3 days ago at Nov 3 16:22
Amazing xD
Posted : 2 weeks, 3 days ago at Nov 3 17:12
I thought it was hillarious that you used George Lucas as The Kraken/Sarlacc! Well done job! This list is great!
Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago at Nov 4 17:46
@leotak: I think its quite a good match. Seeing as Barbossa is the best character in Pirates and Boba Fett is one of the best in Star Wars. Both are semi-villains! Come ooooooonnnnnnn!!!!

The biggest stretch is definitely Anamaria.

Thanks for all the votes guys.

Description

I know we've all heard it but I thought I'd use the facilities of Listal to accentuate the point.

Since Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was released, everyone with access to a column or blog has noted the very similar plot and character traits with the Star Wars original trilogy, notably Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This is my take on this comparison.

Have fun.
