Matt Chapman<\/a> is Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/p>\n It\u2019s the easy call. The veteran with a lot of miles and a lot of history trying to lead by example. His first season as a Giant was a lot like Obi-Wan\u2019s role in Star Wars, impressing with powers and hinting at just enough magic and mystery to seem almost larger than life. Last year? Well, it was his Revenge of the Sith: he was good in his part of the story, but he wasn\u2019t around for the whole thing and it ended in tragedy for him (Bob Melvin\u2019s departure). This year, it\u2019s the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Just awful.<\/p>\n Rafael Devers<\/a> is Mace Windu<\/p>\n Powerful, confident, but then all of a sudden gets absolutely merc\u2019d by a decrepit old man \u2014 in Mace Windu\u2019s case, Emperor Palpatine fully unleashing his Sith powers. In this case, Father Time.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Casey Schmitt<\/a> is Luke Skywalker<\/p>\n A new hope? He\u2019s far from being a whiny farm boy, but he is being mentored by Matt Chapman \/ Obi-Wan Kenobi\u2026 who may not be all that great of a teacher? It remains to be seen, but the kid who was just trying to escape and experience something bigger sure has hit his way into that reality.<\/p>\n Patrick Bailey<\/a> is Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren<\/p>\n A side-hopping, hard to pin down figure with a degree of charisma. Will he follow in his father\u2019s (Buster Posey<\/a>\u2019s) footsteps by being the next great Giants catcher, or will he The Force Awakens his dad to forge his own path? It\u2019s hard to imagine Patrick Bailey hurting anybody since he can\u2019t even hurt a baseball thrown across home plate, but he\u2019s on the path to betraying all the trust and investment of time the team is putting into him \u2014 just like Kylo Ren. They also have distinct headgear.<\/p>\n Bandana and wannabe Darth Vader mask \u2014 100% equivalent, right?<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Luis Arraez<\/a> is Yoda<\/p>\n The clubhouse guru, but not about The Force. About hitting: \u201cDo [hit] or do not [hit]. There is no try.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel Susac<\/a> is Rey Palpatine-Skywalker<\/p>\n Hardly a \u201cnobody from nowhere,\u201d the Susac name is a respected one in the halls of the Giants and he has brought a dynamic perspective to what had become a tired battle between good and evil (Giants hitters vs. major league pitching). Most importantly, as the backup catcher, he is in a Force dyad<\/a> with Patrick Bailey\/Ben Solo, just like how the two characters were in The Last Jedi.<\/p>\n Harrison Bader<\/a> is Count Dooku<\/p>\n I don\u2019t entirely get Count Dooku\u2019s \u201cdeal,\u201d but he plays good defense, I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n Christian Koss<\/a> is Qui-Gon Jinn<\/p>\n Look, not all of these comparisons are going to be winners, and all I really remember about Q-GJ is that he got cut in half by Darth Maul. I find his lack of playing time to be a neat comparison.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Willy Adames<\/a> is Anakin Skywalker<\/p>\n He was the Chosen One<\/a>! The largest contract in team history (before the Devers trade) equals\u2026 the most powerful Force user ever known? Sure, why not? And yet here he is, having another terrible start to the season, tempted by the dark side, his smiling face transformed into a frown. A total turn to the Dark Side? Hard to say, but that hitting line is sure making the argument.<\/p>\n Heliot Ramos<\/a> is Ahsoka Tano<\/p>\n I can think of few better comps for Ramos than this outcast Jedi who was once the apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. Now, Willy Adames hasn\u2019t done the full turn (yet), but Ramos was on the outs with the Jedi order (the Giants\u2019 front office) until he worked his Force off to become an All-Star hitter for a time.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/9a3ce0dfbde019591985a5f99300a298.jpeg\"\/)
