...but to be fair...we, in the 21st century...right here in the ol' USofA...still haven't learned, lol. 2012 Dance Off with Star Wars Stars - Hyperspace Hoo...

Trav, I can't wait to watch that first one! It'll have to wait till I get home.

The second one's a long video, but it revels in its wrongness so joyfully, that it's hard to look away...and I must admit that the guy they cast as Chewbacca has mad stage presence, haha.

You could write a whole book about nothing but the pervasive influence of "Star Wars" in the late '70s. It's hard to get across just how inescapable it was.

There was a "Mad" magazine cartoon about the distance one would travel to avoid hearing the "Star Wars" theme in 1977. I need to find it tonight...

Haha...and the funny thing is, as a three or four-year-old, I loved being constantly inundated with Star Wars references, lol...but children of that age are at that "Let's read the same story, or watch the same

movie a bazillian times" phase.

I know what you mean by trying to "get across" the "pervasive influence" of national obsessions of the past. There've been a few times, I've tried to convey just how omnipresent Michael Jackson was,

circa. 1982-84, to people too young to know, lol.
