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
