Stars & Wars: Star Wars is Jane Austen, Actually

I have only read three of Jane Austen's books so there are lots of repitions and I may be missing some comparisons, but:

Anakin is Willoughby and/or Marrianne Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility) and/or Lydia Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)—Indecisive, generally good-hearted, stuck in his feelings, often disregards older sibling’s advice, dooms himself to a bad relationship because of his attachments, literally cannot get his priorities straight, constantly going through it

Obi-Wan is Elinor Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—Sensible, loves younger sibling a lot, knows what acting good looks like and does it pretty much all the time, tries to teach this to younger sibling, perhaps a touch repressed about own feelings, secretly always going through it

Padme is Marrianne Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—good hearted and very capable of good sense, a little stuck in her feelings, will realise a little late that her romantic partner has issues

Qui-gon is Mr. Bennet (Pride & Prejudice) and/or Mrs. Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility)—okay parent, cares a lot about the kids, missing lots of important things going on with the kids, often models bad habits for the kids

Beru Whitesun and Owen Lars are Mr. & Mrs. Gardiner (Elizabeth’s aunt and uncle) (Pride & Prejudice)—good hearted, competent people, care a lot about the kid, good life partners who are well matched and love each other

Bail and Breda Organa are also Mr. & Mrs. Gardiner (Elizabeth’s Aunt and uncle) (Pride & Prejudice)—good hearted, competent people, care a lot about the kid, good life partners who are well matched and love each other

Palpatine is Mr. Wickham (Pride & Prejudice)—pushes young vulnerable person to distrust and lie to the people who care about them and to make reckless decisions, in it for personal gain, incredible actor, ultimately liked by no one hated by everyone

Luke is Emma Woodhouse (Emma)—bored kid makes problems for local community through attempted enrichment activities, ultimately figures themself out through a combination of fuck around and find out and guidance from elders, ultimately competent and good hearted

Leia is Elinor Dashwood or Elizabeth Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)?—(not sure of this one), very cool, able to put her personal feelings aside, maybe a touch repressed, still grieving, very sensible and good hearted, willing to argue an/or insult at anytime

Han is Mr. Darcy and/or Mr. Bingley (Pride & Prejudice)—thinks he is above the rest of these fakers, is actually an extremely loyal friend and a bit of a simp, thinks leaving people he cares about is a good idea, comes back

C-3P0 is Mary Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)��likes rules, would prefer if everyone followed the rules, would like to have one single friend who could follow the rules.

R2-D2 is Kitty Bennett (Pride & Prejudice)—likes causing chaos, has a friend who is much worse, somehow always gets (follows friend) into situations

Yoda is Mr. Woodhouse (Emma’s father) (Emma)—eccentric old man with health issues, cares a lot about the kid, kid cares a lot about them, tries to give kid advice but is not listened to, turns out to have been right about several things

Mace Windu is Elinor Dashwood (Sense & Sensibility) and/or Charlotte Lucas (Pride & Prejudice)—very competent, working very hard within the system they are given, people ignore that they have feelings, all of their friends are more chaotic than them not because they wouldn’t like to also be chaotic sometimes but because someone has to be sensible around here
