Go all in, take my Poker Star Wars poker pro quiz, and get rewarded with disturbing photo mashups!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. heroes battled villains in an epic quest to achieve the ultimate victory.
The odds seem insurmountable and thousands of opponents stand in their way, but with the help of The Force and the generous use of mind tricks victory is possible.
Not Star Wars. Poker!
Noble heroes! Dastardly villains! Epic wins! Crushing losses! Why would you be on the edge of your seat waiting for missiles shot from a spaceship to destroy a wicked planetoid space weapon when you could… Watch a plastic rectangle flip over and gentleman shake hands?
My proposed opening crawl to Poker Star Wars. There’s a reason Disney pays me the big bucks.
Become the director of Poker Star Wars!
Poker’s got it all, including larger-than-life personalities that no multi-billion dollar space opera can touch. There are even rumors (and by rumors I mean I made it up for this quiz) that new Star Wars owner Disney plans to recast the saga to make the ultimate epic: Poker. Star. Wars!
Why should Disney pay millions to the likes of JJ Abrams, though, when you can do a better job for Chipotle and M&Ms? Actually, scratch that, I’ve got a Facebook share button as your reward instead!
Take my poker pro quiz as your first job interview. Cast these pros for their best-suited role in Poker Star Wars.
Daniel Negreanu. He has largely become the face of poker and is arguably the game's most charismatic ambassador. One of the best cash game players in the world, Poker Hall of Famer, over $40 million in tournament earnings, and probably residing somewhere in Canada if Donald Trump is elected president. Lure him out of the frozen tundra by offering him this role!
Correct!
Wrong!
-
Doyle Brunson. One of the original Texas rounders. Poker Hall of Famer, winner of 10 WSOP bracelets, beloved icon, and still one of the best at the game. Give him the respect he deserves and cast him perfectly for Poker Star Wars. Which role would you offer him?
Correct!
Wrong!
-
Phil Hellmuth. Desperate for a role in Star Wars Poker to prove he's the best. Has a heart of gold to those close to him. Record-holder with 14 WSOP bracelets, superb tournament player, obnoxiously seeks attention, makes tablemates groan with his antics. Who does that sound like he's perfectly suited to play?
Correct!
Wrong!
-
Phil Ivey. Endlessly praised from fans and peers alike he's simply one of the best all-around players in the game. Predominantly a cash game player he's won countless millions away from the cameras. Phenomenally talented with eyes that try to keep up with his brain Ivey sometimes gets himself into the wrong headlines, but rarely makes a wrong decision at the tables. Who's he going to play in Poker Star Wars?
Correct!
Wrong!
-
Barry Greenstein. The Robin Hood of Poker. Altruistic, intelligent, calculating. Often uncelebrated due to his steady demeanor, but should never be underestimated. We'd love him to be in Poker Star Wars. But who will he play?
Correct!
Wrong!
-
Stu Ungar. Described by peers as possibly the best to ever play, 3-time WSOP champion, unable to cope well with the real world, ultimately consumed by his own demons and vices. Disney mastered and patented reanimation just for Poker Star Wars! Don't waste their money. Choose his perfect role.
Correct!
Wrong!

John Juanda. Often underestimated thanks to his steady demeanor, this Poker Hall of Famer still one of the best on today's tournament circuit. Help Poker Stars round out the cast by offering him this role.
"The whole PDF on the Beat The Fish guide was absolute gold for me. Very impressed, has really made a difference to how I play my game from when I first started. Definitely built up my confidence in the game and helping me to stop spewing off chips." -Dylan Walsh

Quiz Answer 1: Daniel could play Luke Skywalker with his eyes closed. They’re everybody’s favorites, heroes of their domains, friendly, charismatic. Most of all, they know how to make their own luck, master The Force, and win.
