Star Wars minis as D&D creatures?

[Oryan77]

I've been getting into collecting Star Wars minis to use in my D&D game. There's a lot of good stuff from the SW minis line that could fit in a fantasy game. I'm wondering if there are D&D monsters that are similar to some of the SW minis I have.

What do you think these minis could be used as in D&D? It can be from any edition of D&D and any published D&D setting.

I have some Gamorreans to use as old school orcs and just picked up some Boma minis on the cheap that should make some good large-sized demon grunts.

I've been using a bunch of the empire officers and the imperial troopers as soldiers in my steam-punk-ish skyship D&D game. They reflect the trade council that runs everything.

There were some desert guys in the Monsters of Norrath (Or maybe it was Monsters of Luclin) d20 monster book for the Everquest d20 RPG game. I forget their name but they were fairly tough with about 10 HD of monstrous humanoid HD or so. I thought of them when I saw the Weequay.

This reminded me of this thread and the awesome work frankthedm did

Devaronians can be used for Tieflings.

Yuuzhan Vong are a shoo-in for Githyanki

Some Trandoshans can work as Dragonborn

Quarren are pretty much Mind Flayers

The Human Force Adept is perfect for any number of spellcasters, specially wizards and invokers

And in case you haven't figured it out, the varied Jedi do well for Soulblades...

The Boma mini looks more like like one of those random monsters out of a frazetta / vallejo painting than the official star wars art. very nice fig, though it is VERY big and overlapping. It comes on a 2" round base, but it looks best on a 1.5"x3" [oversized cavalry] base.

If you can find a bowl-legged enough rider for the fig, it really shines.

If bugbears are getting too pricey, wookies are decent stand ins.

SWCF14 Massassi Sith Mutant makes a passable bearded devil

Gundark will work for an abyssal eviscerator

I used a war wheel and some droids as constructs in one session.

That's true. I hadn't realized that aestetic before.

Here's some to compare -
