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):

• Snowspeeder Patrol
• Augustanakin
• Seven Mary 3PO

There’s a ton of entries out there, and it’s still going. Some of my favorites others have posted:

• pipboy2009: Naboo Fighters
• DevDell: The Qui-Gon Jinn Blossoms
• treelobsters: Alderaan Deraan
• wk_marshall: Peter, Paul, and Mara Jade
