Which ones are the Ewoks?

GOP House Minority Leader Marty Seifert was asked yesterday if the override of Gov. Pawlenty's veto damaged his reputation since he believes one of the main roles for the House GOP is to protect the governor's vetoes. Seifert said this:

"Last year we blew up the Death Star and this year was The Empire Strikes Back. The storm troopers on the 4th floor (where the DFL has offices) had their way with us yesterday. We will bounce back and I think the third movie will be determined in November."

Seifert's comments got us thinking -- Which lawmaker best fits each Star Wars role? Please be respectful. Disrespectful comments will be trashed. That being said, we have a sense of humor - so fire away -
