May the 25th Be With You

May 04, 2011 12:52

I like the pun, but I think the real Star Wars Day is the anniversary of the release of the first/fourth movie back in 1977. On the other hand, Star Wars has indeed become ubiquitous enough that saying "May The Fourth Be With You" will elicit a groan of recognition from even the most Mugglish among us.

Which Star Wars story is your favorite? ( Read more... )

To everybody who has wished me "May the Fourth..." I have been replying, "I'll take the fifth."

Yes, but are you a "Dark Lord of the 5th"?

I haven't read much Star Wars fanfic (it usually includes the expanded universe, and I haven't read all the books; there's too many, and a large subset are of questionable quality). I remain a big fan of Empire Strikes Back. I have an obscene amount of filk on my mp3 player; my favorite Star Wars parodies are:

Jedi Drinking Song (Brobdingnagian Bards)
the Weird Al Star Wars parodies (Yoda and Saga Begins)
Fett's Vette (MC Chris)
Star Wars Gangster Rap (also MC Chris? the one that starts with "it's not the east or the west side (no it's not)")

"The Lusty Young Sith" is a fun/cute song from Marc Gunn's post-Bards catalog...it might have a place on your list!

Jedi Drinking Song is actually from a group called "Dust Rhinos" from Canada. Jedi Drinking Song Prequel is actually from the Bards.

Siubhan's Sith Academy stories have a firm place in my mind as the only good thing to come out of the prequels. Sith Lords are hot shit!

First place is Mad Magazine's Star Bores: The Musical.
Second place is the NPR radio drama of the first movie.
Third place is the audio book version of Revenge of the Sith (much much much better than the movie for a variety of reasons)

"BEEP! That's 'Hi' in robot talk."

OH YEAH! Someone else remembers this! I still remember the words to the Darth Vader and droid sale songs. And of course, "Weeeee're off to kill the bad guys..."

Sorry, just geekin' out there.

What do you say to a couple getting ready to split up?
May divorce be with you.

What do you say to someone who just got health insurance?
May Blue Cross be with you.

What do you say to one of Springsteen's roadies?
May the Boss be with you.

What does your dentist say to you?
May the floss be with you.

What do you say to a cowboy?
May the horse be with you.

What do you say to a person who's relative just died?
May the loss be with you.

What do you say to Jesus?
May the cross be with you.

OK I'll stop now.
