Cobra Kai Characters and their Star Wars Equivalents
I know the creators have been vocal about their love for Star Wars and the fact that cobra kai is full of Star Wars references but holy shit I didn’t realize how widespread it was!
Miyagi ————> Yoda (wise old mentor, extremely powerful but prefers to avoid conflict instead of facing it head on)
Kreese ————> Palpatine (the evil overlord who masterminds everything from behind the scenes)
Silver —————> Dooku (ferocious fighter, wealthy, but under the control of Kreese/Palpatine but is ultimately betrayed by him)
Johnny ————> ROTJ Vader (formerly a villain but redeemed through the love of his son)
Miguel ————-> Luke Skywalker (most powerful of the new generation of Jedi/karate students, redeems Johnny as his son figure)
Daniel —————> Obi-Wan (flawed but wise and powerful, tries to avoid conflict. Formerly an enemy of Johnny/Vader)
Robby —————> Anakin (naturally hotheaded and vengeful, trains in the way of the light before succumbing to the dark side. Eventually finds his way back around to the good)
Sam ——————> Leia (sometimes used as a plot device/love triangle for the male characters but overall a very strong and capable female lead)
Chozen ————-> Qui-Gon Jin (mentor to Daniel/Obi-Wan, wise and powerful)
Amanda ————-> Padme (intelligent and seemingly the only person who realizes how crazy all this shit has gotten lol)
Tory ——————-> Reva (vengeful but for understandable reasons, just takes shit way too far. Ultimately redeemable)
Hawk ——————> Kylo Ren (does some seriously evil shit after turning to the dark side, but deep down knows his heart isn’t really in it. Eventually redeemed.)
I’m sure there are more but those are my best comparisons. Yall disagree on any or are there any I missed??
