    I was trying to find a thread on this forum where people spoke about terms and things that are “so Earth” and would not be mentioned in any Star Wars media. This is NOT like the many threads asking to help give alternative names to real world things so they can exist in Star Wars. I’m looking for things that SHOULD never appear or are impossible to appear due to pure Earth connotations. I got this idea when Coca-Cola appeared at the Galaxy’s Edge in DisneyWorld and one of the LucasFilm story group members said it would not appear in mainstream canon. Some ideas I came up with are:

    Pizza

    Twitter

    App

    Mexican standoff

    What are some others. All ideas welcome even silly ones.

    Trac-Ball. As weirdly specific as that is, this scene always bugged me growing up because I couldn't unsee it.

    Also yelling like Tarzan while swinging from a vine. Oh wait...



    Aside from poking fun at odd quirks in the movies, I do think Earth holidays and religions are obvious things that wouldn't belong in SW media.

    I used to have Trac-Ball too. If you owned it, it really jumps off the wall when it's in the shot.

    Onion rings.

    Well, unless you hold one up to look closely at it and say, "Look, sir, droids!"

    I remember seeing an episode of Droids when I was very little, where (in translation) C-3PO said to R2: "we´ll end up like Spanish omelettes!". I immediately wondered, and do to this day, how C-3PO knows of Spain!
