Ever Use Star Wars Minis for D&D?

[Exquisite Dead Guy]

I was making out an order of D&D mini singles and on a whim decided to take a look at the Star Wars singles. There are several (all without guns) that I am thinking about picking up to use in D&D.

Anyone else do this? I'm thinking specifically about the following minis from the Rebel Storm set:

Commons:
Twi'lek Scoundrel - looks like a rogue to me
Tusken Raider - might be a little TOO recognizable

Uncommons:
Royal Guard - not sure what I'd use it for but it looks cool
Gamorrean Guard - looks orcish

Anyway, thats just at a quick glance. There are probably some other ones that would be useful too.

We did you a gammoerian guard for a orc leader and a quarren for a mindflayer, but thats it.

We got about six wookie soldiers as Gencon swag last year. They've seen some action on the battlemat.

Nope, the Star Wars look is too iconic. It would distract too much.

I've used a lot of miniatures from all kinds of other sources though. I use a lot of the new D&D minis, the old D&D minis, Reaper minis, Warmachine minis, Games Workshop minis, and even toys when I can, though.

Since I've used buttons, nickels, scraps of paper etc for representations at one time or another, I can't complain about using SW minis.

I've considered buying the SW minis (might have gotten in big if the RPG were going strong) for D20 Future games, but I agree that the look is pretty iconic and difficult to see past.

My DM uses Yuzzem for just about any Large creature we encounter; last week, two Yuzzem stood in for Hezrou.

I bought three or four C3P0 figurines - not "miniatures" in the truest AD&D sense, but rather "collectibles" ranging from 2 1/4 to about 3 inches tall. Running Monte Cook's Banewarrens soon, and I needed some iron golems and a construct. Distracting ? Perhaps, until it starts beating on them.

The first one to say "If any of my gears or circuits could be of use I'll gladly donate them" loses 200 EP.

All the time. I even use Pikachu as a dragon, so that gives you an idea of the sort of games I run.

I won a Clone Strike starter set as a door prize as a gaming con, and while I play the Star Wars RPG, my current campaign is D&D so I tried to find some use for some of them in that.

The fixed Obi-Wan Kenobi I thought made a pretty decent soulknives (robe wearing guys with glowing energy blades coming out of their hands?). My players already likened a soulknives blade to a lightsaber, so it wasn't too much of a shock. It might also work for a psychic warrior with a Brilliant Energy weapon.

A Weequay Mercenary made a very nice desert nomad warrior, humanoid with dark skin and a topknot clad in earth-tone desert type garb clutching a knife above.

The Super Battle Droid would probably make a good Warforged, but I don't particularly like Warforged and I'm not running Eberron, so it's not used but I can see a use for it.
