Nonetheless, if you’re into Star Wars and you’re into DND, you’ve come to the right place. If you’ve got a DM that’s at all willing to bring aspects of Spelljammer into your game, your Star Wars characters will be right at home in space - though Spelljammer is going to be a bit more campy than Hoth or Endor. Maybe just avoid calling them by the same names. Even if your DM doesn’t give a damn about Star Wars and just wants to play a vanilla Forgotten Realms campaign, you can still translate these characters. There’s even a Star Wars campaign setting for 5th Edition that’s known as SW5E. There are a lot of ways your DM can create a campaign that lets your table play Star Wars for 5th Edition. It doesn’t matter where or when or even how you want to play them - it can absolutely be done. I’m here to tell you that the answer is a resounding yes. So naturally, people who think in a similar way as I do would also imagine whether or not their favorite Star Wars characters can be recreated through the framework of a 5e character sheet. And the character archetypes that exist in Star Wars are often still there in D&D - such as the comparison between Sith and liches.

Actually, Marvel characters are technically Disney characters too. Technically, Star Wars characters are also Disney characters now.

So, as I was writing last weeks article I began to realize that my list of Disney characters wasn’t quite complete. Regardless, I’m a huge advocate of building characters in this way and I think almost everyone at my table has done it at least once.

You may choose to play them similarly to the character you modeled them off of or you may end up playing them completely differently.

At the end of the day, the character you build is just stats on your character sheet and they really come to life with your roleplaying. Very rarely do new players who are unfamiliar with RPGs have the ability to flex their creative muscles both from a story perspective or an optimization perspective to create a truly unique Dungeons & Dragons character. Whether you want to replicate playing as a character you love in your DND game, you relate to a character on an emotional level or you just want to build them and use their stats on your character sheet - it’s a very valid way to build a character and I don’t think it’s discussed enough.
