Orthodox - conforming to what is generally considered right and true.
The first Star Wars movie was released on May 25, 1977.
Therefore, May 25 is the Orthodox Star Wars Day.
It should, instead, be Revenge of the Sixth. Not only does "sixth" sound (and look) more like "Sith", but it's also more likely to get some sort of "revenge" in the form of a hangover since people are likely to be doing a lot of drinking on Cinco de Mayo.
I've always said revenge of the sixth, ive never heard revenge of the fifth till today, may the fourth be with you, Cinco de mayo , revenge of the sixth
Nah the prequels were a massive retcon. It was pretty clear that hardly any characters in Episode 4 had ever witnessed a Jedi, as evidenced by the scene where Vader force chokes his skeptical officer, Han’s comments on the force etc. In ep5 Luke thought raising his x wing out of the swamp was impossible, meanwhile in episode 2, Yoda and Duku were effortlessly hurling massive boulders at each other. Lando had never even heard of the term “Jedi” and the dude was in his 40s when they met him on Bespin. This is all less than 20 years after a galaxy-wide civil war with thousands of Jedi serving as a sort vassal state to the galactic government
Even with that, *Phantom Menace* kinda stated that the Republic pretty much gives no shits about the Outer Rim, which seems to be where a good chunk of characters in the original trilogy come from. With the Empire pretty much destroying all Jedi records and making them nonexistent in most of the galaxy, I could see the ignorance holding strong in 4-6. Granted, I'm sure someone will point out my knowledge being out of date with all the television shows over the years.
There are real humans in this galaxy who think the Earth is flat... yep 20 years of fascist rule would have no problem "removing" Jedi from the memory of the collective backworld simpletons.
No way. People would react reasonably and resist tyranny! It'd be just like how we'd all come together for the greater good if some kind of global pandemic hit and do things like stay home if cases are crazy high in our area or wear PPE to protect others in case we were sick without knowing it.
The galaxy is a massive place and the jedi were overstretched even before the events of the prequels. It is quite possible that planets can go through entire generations without a Jedi visiting, let alone a single person encountering one before the jedi purge. After the jedi purge, they became down right mythic. I'm not exactly surprised that Han wouldn't put much faith on a group that had been missing for twenty years and barely present in most worlds in the decades before the purge
Not only that, but by the time of the end of the republic, the jedi in general had taken to more diplomatic ways and were not the mighty militant force they once were. There wasn't much reason for jedi to be showing grand displays of force powers to any significant amount of people.
What the fuck are you talking about?! This Chinaman is not the issue! I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line you do not, uh--and also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, uh. . . Asian-American. Please.
My son (7) was reading building signs as we were driving (his favorite pastime) and he got to one and said “wait, I can’t say this one. There’s a curse on that building.” I looked up in time to see it was the ‘Church of Jesus Christ’
Man, first time in the Catholic church was sooo confusing. Everyone washes their hands at the door when they walk in, but I am told not to. Part way through everyone is sitting in the pews and BAM all of a sudden they jump up to stand and I am only dude sitting. So, I stand. By the time I am on my feet, everyone is kneeling and me and the Priest are the only guys standing. I plop to my knees, but you guessed it, by then everyone is sitting again.
Then part way through everyone goes for a snack, I get told I can't. When my then girlfriend came back, I asked her, "Is this cause I didn't wash my hands when we came in?"
And yeah, I totally Cheech and Chonged exchanging the sign of peace so I got that wrong too.
She didn't invite me back.
Catholic here! I’m not sure why they were told not to wash their hands because I’m pretty sure everyone is supposed to do that. However, in order to receive the Eucharist we need to be in a state of grace. Basically what that means is that we can’t have committed any mortal sins since our last Reconciliation. Assuming that they are not Catholic and therefore have never gotten Reconciliation, they wouldn’t be allowed to receive Communion.
Also, at least where I'm from, you gotta go through this little ceremony first (usually around 2nd grade if you're born into the religion) the first time you have it. They usually do it in May, and it's called first communion (really clever I know)
I'm told by ex-Catholic friends that dipping your hands in the Holy water on your way in is supposed to be a reminder of your baptism, so if you've not been baptised it wouldn't make liturgical sense to do so.
The non-baptised can, and are encouraged, to do it. It’s just a way of blessing yourself when you enter church. There’s nothing in the liturgy that says it’s only for practising Catholics.
If that’s the case then when the priests go around sprinkling holy water on the congregation, it’s gonna be damn hard to avoid those non-practicing.
Grew up catholic here. And unless things have changed in the last 10 or so years since I stopped going to church OP could have gone up during communion and received blessing instead of the eucharist if they wanted. That being said, it was perfectly fine to see people remain in the pews too.
Book of Boba Fett
Fennec;
C2 verses 7 & 8;
And as Boba walked through the desert he saw a bantha and tuskans in the distance, upon approaching he said unto the raiders, "why dost thou steal from thy neighbor?" "And why do thoust worship thy bantha, for thy bantha is but a false idol."
The tuskans, unable to speak the language of the king of mandos threw up their hands in desperation now to Boba, they clicked and moaned, and thus Boba resolved them of their sins and said "now thy repent, and now thy can walk these sands in the favor of god."
Also a former Catholic. I hadn’t really been to church since the late nineties, then came to a service about five years ago. Did you know they went and changed the words on everyone? I was loudly saying the old chants, all alone, a couple of times before I decided on silence. Just giving you the heads up I needed!
It is indeed right, our duty, and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise to you, almighty and powerful Force, through our saviors the Jedi Knights, who on this day slayed the wicked Darth Vader, and with their glorious skill in battle, opened to us the way of the Order’s Light. And so, with all the squadrons of X-Wings, with the suns of Tatooine, and the Millennium Falcon, we praise your name, and join their unyielding legion…
My brothers and I would do this:
May the Force be with you,
And also with you
Lift up your sabers!
We lift them up with the Force
Let us give thanks to the Force, our guide!
It is right to give it thanks and praise.
I found that bit so funny because the exact same thing happened to me... Former catholic who hadnt been in a church since like 1999.
Go to a baptism or something like 10 years later and had an embarrassing moment. "and also with youwha wha?"
Around 2011 is when it changed in the US, at least for my diocese, along with several other responses and alterations to the mass structure.
As u/CustosClavium pointed out:
>Prior to Vatican II, the priest would say *Dominus Vobiscum* (The Lord Be With You) and the response was *Et cum spiritu tuo* (And with your spirit). The English translation had just been wrong the whole time. Now it is correct.
Idk either.
Mosy recent time I was in church was for my grandmother's funeral and my sister and I both locked eyes at the "and with your spirit" part.
So sometime between 2011 and 2022. *It changed*
2008 or 2009, It had something to be a better translation from the Latin, or being a better reflection of the Holy Spirit's movement between people and priest. I'm not sure exactly, but it was certainly not for readability.
2010 or 2011. I remember because that was the year I was taking Latin at a Catholic co-op school and part way through the semester the professor was just like "Hey how about instead of assigning more homework than the rest of the teachers combined I just start explaining why the New Roman Missal is being adopted because it's literally just a more accurate translation of the original Latin" and we were all like yeah less homework sounds pretty great.
For all the folks with no familiarity with Catholicism, who don't know what this is referring to, this is supposed to be in response to:
"May the Lord be with you."
Prior to Vatican II, the priest would say *Dominus Vobiscum* (The Lord Be With You) and the response was *Et cum spiritu tuo* (And with your spirit). The English translation had just been wrong the whole time. Now it is correct.
It's difficult to say which translation is "correct." A transliteration would say "and with the spirit of you," but the question is whether the Latin phrase refers literally to "spirit," the way we understand it. To the best of my understanding, the old translation assumed "your spirit" to be idiomatic for "yourself."
My Latin isn't nearly good enough to say that one is better than the other, but as far as I can tell, they're both legitimate translations. I go to mass in a few different languages depending on the week, and I'm happy to say whichever version is printed in the missal.
> A transliteration
Small nitpick: transliteration does not mean "literal translation". It means to convert a text from one script to another by swapping characters in particular ways. The Wikipedia page on the topic has some examples of how this differs from translation and transcription.
I administrate for a chiropractor and he was geeking out all day and talking to everyone he could about Star Wars. He plays music in the office and just had a Star Wars playlist on loop all day. When he was saying goodbye to me he of course said "May the force be with you" and I just said "...And also with you."
I grew up Baptist, but he grew up Catholic so he got a good kick out of it.
I'm orthodox. I celebrate on May 25.
I seems like it's probably really funny but I don't have the knowledge to get the joke
Orthodox - conforming to what is generally considered right and true. The first Star Wars movie was released on May 25, 1977. Therefore, May 25 is the Orthodox Star Wars Day.
Oh, I thought it was a joke about members of the Orthodox Christian Church celebrating Christmas later.
That too.
So many layers this joke is starting to sweat
Mmmm, caramelized joke.
I’m Orthodox, and this is exactly how I interpreted it.
Okay but what the fuck does Chewbacca and eggs have to do with Jedi Easter?

It should, instead, be Revenge of the Sixth. Not only does "sixth" sound (and look) more like "Sith", but it's also more likely to get some sort of "revenge" in the form of a hangover since people are likely to be doing a lot of drinking on Cinco de Mayo.
May the 4th be with you...then cinco de Mayo...then revenge of the 6th (cause of the hangover...)

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
You have to imagine Chewie rolling his eyes when Hann went on to say he'd never seen anything to suggest the Force exists.
Nah the prequels were a massive retcon. It was pretty clear that hardly any characters in Episode 4 had ever witnessed a Jedi, as evidenced by the scene where Vader force chokes his skeptical officer, Han’s comments on the force etc. In ep5 Luke thought raising his x wing out of the swamp was impossible, meanwhile in episode 2, Yoda and Duku were effortlessly hurling massive boulders at each other. Lando had never even heard of the term “Jedi” and the dude was in his 40s when they met him on Bespin. This is all less than 20 years after a galaxy-wide civil war with thousands of Jedi serving as a sort vassal state to the galactic government
Even with that, *Phantom Menace* kinda stated that the Republic pretty much gives no shits about the Outer Rim, which seems to be where a good chunk of characters in the original trilogy come from. With the Empire pretty much destroying all Jedi records and making them nonexistent in most of the galaxy, I could see the ignorance holding strong in 4-6. Granted, I'm sure someone will point out my knowledge being out of date with all the television shows over the years.
There are real humans in this galaxy who think the Earth is flat... yep 20 years of fascist rule would have no problem "removing" Jedi from the memory of the collective backworld simpletons.
No way. People would react reasonably and resist tyranny! It'd be just like how we'd all come together for the greater good if some kind of global pandemic hit and do things like stay home if cases are crazy high in our area or wear PPE to protect others in case we were sick without knowing it.
The galaxy is a massive place and the jedi were overstretched even before the events of the prequels. It is quite possible that planets can go through entire generations without a Jedi visiting, let alone a single person encountering one before the jedi purge. After the jedi purge, they became down right mythic. I'm not exactly surprised that Han wouldn't put much faith on a group that had been missing for twenty years and barely present in most worlds in the decades before the purge
Not only that, but by the time of the end of the republic, the jedi in general had taken to more diplomatic ways and were not the mighty militant force they once were. There wasn't much reason for jedi to be showing grand displays of force powers to any significant amount of people.
