Just asking.
I debated that on the onset, but thinking about it more and more, it seemed right.

Star Wars, and all the characters, universe, jargon, and influence, has undoubtedly spread to nearly all facets of cultural identity that make up what it means to be a spectator and participant of it recurringly, even now, more than 30 years since its debut. From the nerds to the cool people, everyone can identify with the series.

But... as I just recently had the misfortune to find out, all members of The Today Show dressed up in a Star Wars motif, I think, a week ago. It was horrible.

Maybe outside this thread it's a Star-Wars Faux Culture, trying too hard to make it fit, but with my aim, I'm merely fidning & sharing the most obscure and really, the best interesting pictures that just happen to include a Stormtrooper or two.
