Star Wars Is Everywhere: Episode XXVIIII

Posted By Mike on January 11, 2011

From pop culture references to one heck of a Star Wars tattoo, this edition of Star Wars is Everywhere is all over the place...






Star Wars popped up again this week on ABC's No Ordinary Family. Once again, the reference comes from Katie Andrews (Autumn Reeser) as she's describing an alcoholic beverage to her not-what-he-seems boyfriend, "Joshua" (Josh Stewart).

Joshua: "Can I get you another? What did you call that drink again?"

Katie: "This is the most popular cocktail at the Star Wars Cantina. On Tattoine it's pronounced 'yo-kappo.'" (sorry if I butchered that spelling!)

Later in the coversation, as Katie is about to reveal something personal to her boyfriend, she chickens out with the following...

Katie: "The truth is...that this drink originated in Alderaan, not Tattooine. It's a little known fact."

The coversation with the references begins approximately 9:13 into the episode, which can be viewed either at HULU or at ABC.com.




From ABC's No Ordinary Family, we turn to ABC's Modern Family where last week's episode featured a funny "Luke, I am your father" reference from lovable doofus dad, Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell). Let's just say that the reference involves Phil telling his son Luke (Nolan Gould) that those were the words he'd spoken to him during child birth. The reference occurs early in the episode around the 2:47 mark. As is the case above, the full episode can be viewed either at HULU or at ABC.com.

"What else to do with a pile of snow and some food coloring. With help from my son Owen and our dog Indiana! I would make a slave leia. But my wife wouldn't allow it!"
(Thanks Mitchell!)




Per these pictures sent over by our friend Justin, Santa Fett was out in full force in New York over the holidays.
(Thanks Justin!)




And continuing wtih reader submitted pictures, our friend Oki from Japan (who does incredible veggie carvings in our Yummy Star Wars series) sent over the images above from the Jedi Order fan group visiting a Japan military commemorative event in Osaka. Click on the thumbnails for full views.
(Thanks as always Oki!)




The Alpine Garrison of the 501st stepped up to help the Sandy family, of Utah, whose home burned down prior to the holidays. Click here for a short write-up and news video of the good deeds courtesy of KSL.com.





Check out Aaron's (Darth Roxus) new Star Wars tattoo! From OT images to the very TCW-looking Yoda, Aaron's back is now a walking talking advertisement for our favorite franchise. He asked that we pass a long credit to the artist - Hank from Niagara Ink in Niagara Falls, Canada - for his good work. Click on images for full views.
(Thanks Aaron!)




Waylou.com takes a look back at the Gym Dandy Return of the Jedi outdoor playset that included a Scout Walker Command Tower and Speeder Bike Ride. Nice!




The Wisconsin Public Radio show, To The Best of Our Knowledge, recently dedicated a show to sequels and spin-offs. Naturally, Star Wars is referenced a number of times and you can check out the show right here.
(Thanks WIERDGREENMAN!)




Our good friend John Tenuto sent over thr following:

"This is John Tenuto, a fan of the site who has sent news your way over the years. It was great to hear about the Blu rays!

My family and I recently started a non-political Ronald Reagan/popular culture blog for the centennial of his birthday. We have an article about the connection between Ronald Reagan and Star Wars during the years, including some fun facts. We thought fellow Star Wars fans might enjoy the article if you thought it worth a mention. Thanks again!"

A Star Wars: The Clone Wars DK Readers book by Simon Beecroft was listed amongst the top 2010 children's titles by the New York Public Library. See this, and other NYPL year-end lists, at Mania.com.
