These ugly things need to be in “tow mode”?

I was going to say what a stupid idea, but that’s just the tip of the stupid ice berg.

We’re a gateway drug.

As a kid, back before we had wikis and websites with all the information you want, I thought it was the funniest thing when I gave my Magikarp hyper beam.

brand new X-wing or lightsaber or landspeeder isn’t all that different from one that was built 50 or even 100s of years ago.

If you want to get extremely weird… The Old Republic takes place 3600 years before the original trilogy.
