For the past week, I’ve been up to my ears in Star Wars. Not only did my youngest decided to dress as a Star Wars Clone Wars Storm Trooper for Halloween, but my colleague, Shelly, and I have been working on an intergalactic surprise for the NASTC Annual Conference in Nashville, which starts on Thursday.
I won’t spoil the surprise with details, but it will be well worth coming to see our booth at the NASTC conference.
As I was loading up on supplies, the cashier asked: “What on earth y’all gonna do with this stuff?” Little did she know it has nothing to do with earth. That got me thinking about the similarities between Southern culture and Star Wars culture. With all due respect to Jeff Foxworthy, enjoy these Stars Wars-inspired observations from a girl who’s on her way from Alabama to Tennessee:
TOP 10 SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK JEDI
You might be a redneck Jedi if:
Timothy in his costume
1. You prefer the phrase, “May the force be with y’all.”
2. Your Jedi robe is a camouflage.
3. You have ever used your light saber to light the barbecue grill.
4. The doors on your X-Wing are welded shut and you have to climb in through the windows.
5. You have ever used the Force to get yourself another beer so you didn’t have to wait for a commercial.
6. You have ever accidentally referred to Darth Vader’s evil empire as “them damn Yankees.”
7. You have a cousin who bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca.
8. The bumper sticker on your speeder reads, “My Padawan kicks your honor student’s a**.”
9. You have Ewok heads mounted on your walls.
10. You think the Force is a brand of duct tape because it has a Dark Side and a Light Side and it binds the galaxy together.
