On this mornings’ run, my mental jukebox was on “Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues,” by the wonderful Todd Snider.

And, just because my mental jukebox sometimes skips a bit, here it is, covered by Yoda:

Hey, hey, my, my.
Never die, rock and roll will.
Your hair down in your eye hang.
Make a million dollars, you will.

Is this too cute, or what?

Boing Boing: Crocheted infant Yoda ears

Jeremy at winterson.com has posted screencaps of some truly bad bootleg Star Wars subtitles.

“worry to lose is to lead to the evil augury” - Yoda

Found via Boing Boing.

“I see dead people.”

Make no doubt about it, this one is the most intense Star Wars there is. But probably only because in the original Star Wars (which is now Episode IV) when they blew up a planet and “millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced” they didn’t actually show it.

Let’s see, without giving too much away, the movie had:

No breasts (bare ones at least)
One pregnant senator
A zillion droids, most of which meet an untimely demise
Cool space battles
cool land battles
just keep swimming (but no Nemo)
Light Sabers “backward R” Us
Brilliant Oscar-worthy dialog and acting
Shiny things
A giant lava lamp
Wookies
Politicians
Mechanics
Huge sets
(just kidding about that Oscar thing)
Yoda fu
Clone fu
Jedi fu (a bit redundant, but not quite the same as Yoda fu)
Things get blowed up. A lot.

If I think of more I’ll add to the list…

I just watched the Dark Crystal with my kids.

I watched this in the theater when it was released a couple decades ago.

I was stoned out of my gourd.

Now, I remember why.

It’s like seeing Yoda’s home movies.
