That Far Away Galaxy Had Everything, I Tell Ya

I had this dream about two weeks ago that involved Ash Williams (Army of Darkness, Evil Dead) somehow landing in the Star Wars universe. I don't remember much outside it being him and Luke running around looking for something.

(I assume having Ash and Han Solo in the same place at the same time would have been too much dumb machismo for the the universe to survive.)

Knowing Ash, he screwed up reading something out of the Necronomicon and wound up in a galaxy far away, long ago. Which got me wondering if stuff like that even existed in Star Wars. Demons, other-dimensional eldritch horrors. Because if not, that might be a little something unusual for them to contend with.

A cursory internet search revealed that while there's no Book of the Dead specifically, there is a character named "Necronomicon", which, what the hell?! I'm hoping that's a name he chose for himself, because if his parents gave him that name, they need to be horse-whipped.

As it turns out, there are some ways to raise the dead. One involves some witches on a world called Dathomir, who have a spell for that. Then there's a Sith Plague that Palpatine dragged back out to have some scientists mess around with as a potential source of immortality. Well, if you consider being reduced to a nearly mindless, shambling entity, that happens to be hard to kill, I guess it worked.

I guess Skywalker and Co. might not be caught entirely flat-footed by Ash's screwups. The biggest threat might be Leia losing patience with Ash and just shooting him. Although if the creatures raised are as, peculiar, as the ones Ash normally deals with it, that might take some getting used to. His enemies can be cunning, but mostly they're kind of manic.
