Star Wars Astrology, and Other Stuff!

Since we're getting a lot of list topics, I thought I'd create a sort of Uber-List where we can post nonsense we find everywhere. Here's something I discovered on the Web, and think is fun:

The Star Wars Zodiac

ARIES - The Emperor. The Emperor has demonstrated his liking to inflict pain on people just as people born under the sign Aries often do. He feels he is at the center of the universe and he must be in control. He enjoys being a leader and his aggression and quick-tempered attitude also helps him with this.

TAURUS - Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a dependable creature but he can tend to be stubborn. He likes material possessions and loves to win at games. He tends to hate being bossed around or losing and he may succumb to his physical strength when upset.

GEMINI - Ewok. Ewoks are playful little creatures as are Gemini's. They tend to be extremely curious, craving knowledge but sometimes having short attention spans. For the most part they are charming and lovable beings but they can seem scattered and high-strung at times.

CANCER - Luke Skywalker. Luke seemed to be somewhat whinny sometimes but he eventually developed the thick hard shell of a Cancer. He is strong willed and persistent to let what he wants. He never shys away from a fight at the first sign of danger. Not to mention he began to master the element of mind manipulation.

LEO - Princess Leia. Leia adds a whole new meaning to high self-assurance which is evident in Leos. She is a nurturing person with great physical strength Like many Leos she will see that her mission for good is ompleted and she is very optimistic about the outcome.

VIRGO - C3P0. C3P0 shows his efficiency when working for a good cause but he tends to be a little bit fussy when it comes to doing something out of the ordinary. Like many Virgos he wants to stay out of the spotlight and he does well at picking up minute details.

LIBRA - Obi Wan Kenobi. As always, Obi Wan continues forward in his pursuit of justice and he is determined to succeed. He conveys his art of persuasion through the force. He displays his supreme intelligence and is very talented in obtaining balance between himself and his surroundings.

SCORPIO - Han Solo. Han is a powerful character. He also tends to be possessive and lusty which would explain Han's greedy nature. He feels threatened by Leia's attempt to order him around which displays the disliking Scorpios have for people who try to control them. He is often prone to suspicion and jealousy as seen in "The Empire Strikes Back." However, his resilience and passion lead him to get what he wants.

SAGITTARIUS - Yoda. Yoda is superbly wise and he has been known to spread this wisdom widely. He seems to be impatient and pushy when people take his teachings too lightly. As always his philosophical side always peeks through.

CAPRICORN - R2D2. R2's ambition and inexhaustible desire to reach their goals/destination. He is a very loyal, sometimes going to great lengths to help someone out. He is a very social unit winning the hearts of many with his cute personality.

AQUARIUS - Darth Vader. Vader can be cruel and torment people who disagree with him but deep down there is a peace loving, friendly side to him. He has a knack for inflicting pain on people and he uses his intellect during battle

PISCES - Lando Calrissian. Lando is the typical character with his head in the clouds. He is self-sacrificing but may be too passive to stand up to Vader. He became fairly pessimistic when put under pressure. He also poses as a chameleon wanting to change his scenery on occasion.


And this one's even better:

How many of your sign
does it take to change a light bulb?

Aries: Just one. You want to make something of it?

Taurus: One, but just try to convince them that the burned-out one is useless and should be thrown away.

Gemini: Two, one to get the new bulb, one to hold the ladder, one to change the bulb and one to get rid of the old bulb.

Cancer: Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through the grief process.

Leo: Leos don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a Virgo in to do the job for them while they're out. (Alternate answer: 12, one to do it and 11 to applaud)

Virgo: Approximately 1.000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.
(Alternate answer: One to verify the wattage of the bulb, one to get the correct new bulb, one to make sure the 'new' bulb will really work, one to man the fuse box, one to get the ladder, one to safety check the ladder, one to hold the ladder, one to change the bulb (as verified above), one to verify that the bulb is actually burned out, one to properly dispose of the old bulb, and one to facilitate the critique.

Libra: Ummm, two. Or maybe one. No, on second thought, make that two. Is that OK with you?

Scorpio: None. Scorpio's like the dark.

Sagittarius: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?

Capricorn: I don't waste my time with these childish jokes.

Aquarius: Well, you have to remember that everything is energy, so.....

Pisces: Light bulb? What light bulb?

Arrgh! I'm a Yoda? I hated that character! But still, I can see where... No!

Okay, the lightbulb one fits...

@Gwalch, c'mon, what's wrong with Yoda?? Even though he's rather diminutive in stature, he is a jedi master! :D

Yep! I once did a satire on daily horoscopes a long time ago. Haven't seen it in a while, but it included this one, off the top of my head:

"Scorpios: You will not get a raise. You will not meet new friends. You will not discover new ideas. In fact, you will die. Now, leave me alone."

Charming stuff. ;)

Another Yoda am I. Strange it is to say. Wonder I will about this, for maybe three seconds.
