So I was talking to a friend (who shall remain anonymous) when she mentioned that she had made a pop culture reference to Luke and Leia being brother and sister. This person she was talking to (who shall also remain anonymous) had no idea what she was talking about.
*crickets*
What the %$#$%^&???? How does anyone born in the US not know that? I mean I’m not a Star Wars junkie myself, but damn. Who the hell doesn’t that Luke and Leia are twins seperated at birth? I mean, come on. I’m appalled, horrified, and downright befuddled. That’s just crazy talk.
I think Star Wars has really become a staple in American society, you don’t even have to have ever seen it to know the basic storyline. There are lines from the orginal (good) trilogy that anyone should know, for example:
Luke, I am your father (pronounced fah-thah)
There is another Skywalker (pronounced Sky-wal-ker)
So for all of you who don’t know or have the sad misfortune to have never watched Star Wars, go check it out.
