People think Lena Headey would be perfect for this 'Star Wars' character

Surely a match made in heaven.

LONDON -- There aren't many franchises out there to rival Star Wars in terms of sheer popularity, but Game of Thrones is probably one of the few that comes close.

So imagine what the reaction might be if those two worlds came together?

Well the internet has spoken, and they've got just the person for the job.

On the right is, of course, Cersei Lannister (played by Lena Headey), current ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and all-round badass.

On the left is Asajj Ventress, a bounty hunter and recurring character on the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (you can read more about her on her fandom page).

Here's a full-size illustration of Ventress, made by Lamin Martin.

There's definitely a slight similarity, right?

At the very least, Ventress' "don't-mess-with-me" expression is one we've seen many times on Cersei's face over the past six seasons of Thrones.

And the best part? Headey seems up for it.

Let's make it happen, Lucas.
