Star Wars in everyday life

Television, Movies Games and Books Star Wars

So i decided to run an experiment. On the ForceCast they have started doing a segment about Star Wars references in pop culture. I am going attempt to do that one better. I am going to attempt to keep track of Star Wars references in my everyday life as well as pop culture. I will keep a note book and anytime some one makes a SW reference on movie, tv, radio, etc. I will put it down. Then i want to compile them and run the statistics on what has the most references.

I will try and set some criteria. I wont count actual Star Wars movies, games, TV shows or books. Also I wont count direct Star Wars related podcasts, websites, or forum threads.

I will do it for one year. From Oct 6 '09 to Oct 6 '10.

I have a bad feeling about this…:smiley: (he he he)

So I am adding another addeudm to my rules. I am not going to count multiple commercials or references.

ex. I just saw a Wal-Mart commercial that opens with a kid in a Darth Vader costume. I will only count that once. Well i might add another section for number of times referenced. Might add think on this a bit. Also i am not going to use peoples sigs in forums.

Good luck, Sir. If IFC ever shows a Kevin Smith marathon, I will inform and/or warn you.

Its been just over one week and i have encountered 30 unique references to Star Wars. I know i have missed some. There were some in Zombieland that i missed but will hopefully pick up on a second viewing. I have also not counted for multiple viewings of commercials that have Star Wars elements in them. This is gonna be tough. Whew
