PT Cultural References borne of the PT

Duel of the Fates iS Star Wars! One of the best tunes from the entire soundtrack.

 

Any married men here that ever tell their wives "they are haunted by the kiss that she shouldn't have given you" as a reference to morning breath?

 

lol i've called a teenager i know 'young padawan'

 

I can feeeeeel your anger.

Who hasn't used or at least thought this one on numerous occasions?

 

I was searching for a file for my boss and when I couldn't find it in the file room, I told her "If an item cannot be found in our records, it does not exist."

Surprisingly she got the reference, turns out her son is a Star Wars fan too.

 

I just saw one of my facebook friends post "Execute Order 66!", so it looks like it's rising in popularity; as if my facebook friends are any indication. lol

I always love it when I go to a fast food place and the receipt says "ORDER #: 66" on top.

 

When Palpatine says DO IT.

 

Ooh, yeah, that's practically memetic. Though usually the picture used is from ROTJ.

 

Do it.

 

I will make it legal.

 

The word padawan has very successfully been incorporated into cultural references.

Weirdly enough, I remember catching an episode of Hannah Montana years ago where she was in a secret romance and their code names were "Anakin" and "Queen Amidala" -- I always thought those were so weird to use given what ends up happening to that particular couple.

 

this happened the other day, There's a big bending machine where I work and I was told to bend something for them and I asked what program to set the machine on and they said 66. I immediately thought Star Wars so when the time came and they asked if I was ready I said "Execute Program 66" in my best Palpatine impression they looked at me like I was stupid lol but i was laughing and said "it's a Star Wars thing you wouldn't understand"

 

It wasn't until the prequels that "George Lucas ruined my childhood" made it into the lexicon

 

for the kids born in the early 90s like myself I'd say "George Lucas made my childhood" lol

 

The OT generation could claim that as well.

 

Reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch called Codename: Kids Next Door

The kids were having pretend lightsaber fights with torches and mentioned saving Queen Amidala. Lol but at the time, I think TPM was barely two years old
