The REAL Star Wars Episode I

This Makes Me Happy

Sure, the NYC Subway Star Wars reenactment video is everywhere, so you may've seen it already by now. I'm posting because I like it and it gives me a place to store the link. (grin) Mind you, I finally got around to see it just now -- in the middle of my Physics class' first exam, so I haven't even listened to the video. (!!) But it's still perfect.

What I love is how happy this makes the people riding the subway. The guy sitting next to Princess Leia who looks over to see what book she's reading -- and gets it. The way people start smiling when the storm troopers get on. The fact that these people planned this out so they knew exactly where the doors would be when their subway car stopped so that Darth Vader would be right there on cue as if the NYC subway system was answering to him. And all the people smiling with their digital cameras and cell phone videos. (The Imperial Senate has GOT to hear about the utility of having The People record the Rebellion on personal video devices.)

And I have to believe that Rachel Maddow will have this on her show on MSNBC and it will make her smile, too.

Well done, good people. Well done.

Obviously great minds think alike, since this was my post for yesterday. The audience reaction (and they are an audience, even if they don't realize it) is great.

Lots of people posted this yesterday and today. (grin)

Which I am sure is what the perpetrators of this Imperial action against the Rebellion were intending. -- Dr. Phil

Oh, love IT!! Perfect for Friday lunch viewing pleasure.

And, as any good subway rider will tell you, you ALWAYS know where your doors are going to open, to say nothing of what end of the train you need to be on to have the best exit strategy for your stop!

Can you imagine being a passenger on that car? They sounded so happy (finally back in office so could turn the sound on), laughing, when Darth Vader made his appearance.

About as surprising as getting into a cab in New York and discovering that you're in the middle of the Cash Cab TV game show! (grin)

Yes, very nicely done. Loved your comments as well. Really nice to see people get into something like this.

It's so much fun to see people not doing the Same Old Same Old with their lives. (grin)
