There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of fan fictions about the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie, so I've also decided to look at its main characters with my own eyes and use a bit of a different approach. What if the Star Wars events unfolded not in a galaxy far far away, but in the recent past – during World War II with the Empire as the Axis and the Rebels as the Allies. I think you can figure out the rest.
Here are 7 central characters from the new movie presented as Soviet soldiers.
Yaroslav Cohen
Chewbacca — of course he's an ace pilot, perhaps with just a bit of a shady past. But he's doing what he can to fight off troops from the dark side of the Force.
Yaroslav Cohen
Finn is a former Axis stormtrooper that deserted and joined the Soviet partisans to fight against the Nazis.
Yaroslav Cohen
BB-8 is a great helper when you need to establish a communication line. This sneaky device has the capabilities to move on different terrains and through varying weather conditions.
Yaroslav Cohen
Poe Dameron is a commander in the Soviet Air Force with dozens of destroyed enemy aircrafts under his belt.
Yaroslav Cohen
Rey is a brave sniper, who is capable of not only finishing foes, but of also getting herself out of dangerous situations.
Yaroslav Cohen
Han Solo and Leia are a divorced couple, who just might be facing the toughest foe on the front. If you've seen the movie, you know what I mean.
