Pseudonym Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 [*]In real life, people drive "The Pacer," "The Pinto" and "The Station Wagon" In Star Wars, people drive "Speeder Bikes," "X-wing fighters" and "The Millenium Falcon." [*]In real life, bar fights with strange looking people are often looked at as bad and sinful. In Star Wars, bar fights with strange looking creatures is heroic and the way of the just Jedi Knight. [*]In real life, people that talk to small fuzzy creatures are called crazy. In Star Wars, people that talk to small fuzzy creatures are called galactic ambassadors. [*]In real life, people who dress up in tight plastic/leather outfits are considered tacky and queer. In Star Wars, they're called "Storm Troopers" and are feared by all. [*]In real life, people often stink up the bathroom with their fecal odors, toilet paper runs out, and people get diarrhea. In Star Wars, no one has ever used the bathroom. [*]In real life, tall hairy, humanlike creatures are only seen by backwoods alcoholics, and are named ridiculous things like "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch." In Star Wars, tall hairy humanlike creatures are called Wookiees, and have their own language, planet, social structure, and carry formidable weaponry. [*]In real life, people must deal with the problems of children. In Star Wars, children do not exist. [*]In real life, it is often difficult to understand the languages of others, such as 7-11 employees, fast food window operators, and college profs. In Star Wars, everyone understands everybody, regardless of language barriers. [*]In real life, the extremely obese are often sadly shunned by society. In Star Wars, the extremely obese Jabba the Hutt is a pimp daddy, and has his own sail barge, lounge room, and scantily clad female dancers to keep him occupied--he is envied by all. [*]In real life, people often have problems doing simple mechanical things like operating can openers, programming VCRs, and playing Nintendo. In Star Wars, Droids do all the busy work in half the time. [*]In real life, some people are complete losers. In Star Wars, everybody has a story to tell that's worth listening to. [*]In real life, people sometimes smell. In Star Wars, people are never "ripe," and yet they need not shower. [/list=1] Sorry if anyone's already seen this. I haven't and thought some of it was kind of funny. Like the stormtroopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 13. In real life, wiffle bats. In Star Wars, LIGHTSABERS! 14. In real life, if you start talking about mystical energy forces, people will ask you, "what have you been smoking?' or, "Was that hash cut with something?" In SW if you start talking about mystical energy forces, your a wise old man or a weilder of an unimaginable power. 15. In real life, most people are ugly In SW, even the weirder looking ones are hotties. 16. In real life, if you so much as utter the words, "sublight" and "hyperdrive motivator" in the same sentance, your a geek. In SW, your a ship savy speed deamon. That's all I can think of for now.

BCanr2d2 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 18. In RL there are unions, superannuation, and Occupational Health & Safety, all otehr kinds of red tape holding up construction In SW there is no problems in building a second Death Star, and the workplace bully, Darth Vader, goes around without fear of an unfair dismissal case or a harrasment case over his head....

DashRendar1 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 In real life, it takes month to prepare to fly in space. In Star Wars, you just hop into your own freighter and take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
