"Star Wars" is coming to Great American Ball Park as the Reds celebrate the iconic movie series all weekend. We asked Reds writer C. Trent Rosecrans, our staff Jedi Master, which "Star Wars" characters best represent Reds players and management. We also polled Reds fans on Facebook. Our list:

Jay Bruce as Luke Skywalker

While not quite the young farm boy of Episode IV, Bruce is more like the Empire Strikes Back period Luke, still working on his skills, but yet to fulfill his potential. Hopefully he has no issues with his hand, but Bruce did suffer a broken wrist in 2009.

Fan vote: Jay Bruce

Joey Votto as Obi Wan Kenobi

Wise and patient, Votto is hardly a hermit, but it wouldn't be a stretch to see him live alone in the desert of Tatooine. His deviation to a modern religion of advanced statistics isn't embraced by some around them.

Fan vote: Bryan Price

Todd Frazier as Han Solo

Cocksure and swashbuckling, Frazier can make wild swings and somehow end up on top. Like Solo, Frazier's quick with a quip and cool under pressure -- but never tell him the odds.

Fan vote: Todd Frazier

Logan Ondrusek as Chewbacca

Ondrusek comes from a foreign and strange land known as Texas and like his Wookie counterpart towers over his companions. While we have seen a clean-shaven Ondrusek, he's gone with the full beard.

Fan vote: Corky Miller

Brandon Phillips as R2D2

A lover of technology, Phillips tweets, while R2D2 beeps. Both constantly chirp and sometimes make little sense, but create some levity in tense situations. R2D2 may not have the range of Phillips.

Fan vote: Zack Cozart

Roger Bernadina as C3PO

Bernadina may not be "fluent in over six million forms of communication," but the native of Curacao speaks English, Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento, the native language of his home island.

Fan vote: Tony Cingrani

Bryan Price as Yoda

Instead of riddles and jumbled syntax, Price talks in long, complicated sentences -- but both have a history of successfully teaching young Jedi how to use the Force -- and their fastballs.

Fan vote: Marty Brennaman

Yadier Molina as Darth Vader

The Imperial March might as well be playing every time he comes to bat at GABP. Molina's the biggest, baddest villain in the Reds' universe. The nine home runs he's hit at GABP are more than he's hit in any other park other than Busch Stadium.

Fan vote: Yadier Molina

Bud Selig as the Emperor

I mean, we just couldn't pass this up, could we?
