‘Southern Jedi.’

Well… OK, it’d be called ‘Redneck Jedi’ – which I don’t want to call it, because people would be using ‘redneck’ as a pejorative, and that’s not cool.  But by GOD I would happily play a lightsaber video game that had a soundtrack like this:

The problem would be in finding somebody like Pat McManus to write the storyline.  Although… you could actually get Pat McManus to write the storyline, then have somebody tart it up with the obsessive attention to detail that is a hallmark of the Star Wars universe.

QotD, George Lucas edition.

Nodwick makes one prediction of many:

9. George Lucas will announce his next movie, “Indiana Jones and the Saber of Light.” Nerds will eschew rioting and complaining, as they begin to look upon George as a demented relative who “just does that kind of thing, it’s sad, really.”

Given that prior to seeing this I spent five minutes explaining to my wife* how I would have redone a completely hypothetical prequel trilogy to the ONLY EXISTING STAR WARS TRILOGY… yeah.

*I’d regale you with the details of said redoing, except that all of you could have written a better prequel trilogy in your sleep, too.

Star Wars: the environmentalist version.

I’ve stuck it in both categories because, well, it fits in both.

Via First Things, via Boing Boing, and ain’t the Internet cool that way? What makes it especially funny is that it was done by a very bitter radical environmentalist who is primarily upset that his fellow radical environmentalists are such weenies about destroying Western civilization. He apparently loathes them even more that most of the people reading this…
