Halajiin Rabeak

Okay, so, I admit it, this is a bit of a fanboy idea, but after briefly talking it over with Andrew, it totally makes sense, and would be a heck of a lot of fun. I'd like to propose an ensemble story arc, based a bit loosely on Guardians of the Galaxy, and it goes a little something like this...
Hal finds out he's got money. Lots of money, and the first thing he does is buy his own ship. Something flashy, exciting and fun, and probably not terribly practical, but with some good firepower. Basically, a space Lamborghini with guns, because that's what Hal's immature desires would want most. So, once equipped with his new (probably pre-owned) ship, Hal wants some freedom, gets it via some research found in the Library.
Far, far away, there's a dead planet that used to have a civilization on it, and somewhere in the ruins is a Jedi holocron. Seeing as the sneaky, actiony missions are what he used to excel at, and because he's got his own ship, Hal gets given the mission to go get the holocron. Also, Hal is fairly expendable, as far as most folks are concerned.
Thus, Halajiin Rabeak is our Star-Lord. Fun-loving, not terribly serious, and loves "retro" music because he was frozen in Carbonite for 107 years, he fits the bill rather well. But that brings us to the rest of the cast.
These are some ideas, but I'd be open to volunteers, or suggestions:
Star-Lord: Hal
Groot: Maybe Rocky, for some weird reason?
Rocket: Jhyx, or as Andrew suggested, possibly a wise-cracking Ewok, or even a new character entirely, if someone wants to play this role.
Drax: Kazahan would be ideal for this, honestly.
Gamora: Maybe Kala? Mostly because...
Nebula: Akasha, definitely.
Ronan: Not sure, likely a Sith Lord. Any volunteers?
The Ravagers: The Ciz, possibly. Maybe Hal's ship is a Ciz design prototype that was stolen, and they want it back for some reason. Who knows?
And, Andrew suggested perhaps Cirr and the Novgorod might give chase, too both helping and hindering our Guardians as the law permits.
Basically, big, giant space romp for fun and action, with our own Star Wars twist on it all. What do you think? Anyone interested?
