SW again

Catching up with SW

Tuesday January 24: Headline in NYT about a town where even Darth Vader is nice.

Wednesday 25: Ad on TV for “new” SW film

Thursday 26:  “Jeopardy” answers involved a toaster that embed an image of Darth Vader.  Jon Stewart imagines Newt Gingrich’s campaign pledge to establish a moon base as resembling The Death Star (not much of a leap of imagine required to see in Darth Vader suit…)

Friday 27:  Walking down the main street of downtown and the local stationery shop has on display a Darth Vader alarm clock.

Saturday 28:  NPR’s “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me” features a segment on racy romance novels and the guest panel starts imagining silly titles like, “The Empire Strokes Back.”

Sunday 29:  Driving up to the Bay Area pass the billboard featuring C3PO and the  Disneyland upgrade of “Star Tours.”  Does this count?  Then heading to a party out in a hangar in Alameda we pass the giant shipping container cranes at inspired George Lucas to create the walking tank-like creatures in god-knows which movie (“Empire” again?)
