I found out about the #starwarsbandnames meme from @BadAstronomer. It’s pretty self-explanatory: Take the name of a real music group and alter it to make it a Star Wars reference.
Some of my contributions:
- Jefferson X-Wing (I figured it sounded better than Jefferson Death Starship, though someone later suggested Jefferson Star Destroyer, which is better.) #
- Obi-Wan Folds Five (This one actually got a retweet!) #
- Red Five for Fighting #
And Katie’s (Posted on my account because hers isn’t publicly visible):
There’s a ton of entries out there, and it’s still going. Some of my favoirites others have posted:
- pipboy2009: Naboo Fighters #
- DevDell: The Qui-Gon Jinn Blossoms #
- treelobsters: Alderaan Deraan #
- wk_marshall: Peter, Paul, and Mara Jade #
Death Star Cab for Cutie.
We were talking in the grocery store about variations on that one. I liked Darth Cab for Cutie and she liked Death Star for Cutie.
