In case you missed those cool Star Wars floats - VIDEO

george lucasIf you're like me and missed the Rose Parade because you were busy with more important things, like wondering why you woke up in the dumpster behind Denny's, someone was nice enough to record the best part of the parade: the Star Wars floats, marching stormtroopers, and the man himself, George Lucas. I suggest you watch it with the sound turned off, because in the entire history of televised parades, the commentators have never said anything worthwhile.

My favorite is the Ewok village, though the waterfalls on the Naboo float are pretty cool, too. Speaking of Ewoks, did anyone else notice that in Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks are never once referred to as "Ewoks?" They're just weird little forest creatures. Also, what the heck is Yoda supposed to be? I personally believe he's a shaved Ewok, kicked off Endor for being a non-conformist.

Yeah, the rocketman was great. However, I'm still amazed with the advances in technology, that the jetpack is just as big and bulky a when Bond blast off with it in the 60's.

It's a beautiful thing when Obi-Wan and a Tusken Raider can walk together side-by-side.

Rocket Man was pretty rad, but it'd be cooler if he was dressed as Boba Fett.

p.s.
The Flaming Lips were featured on the Oklahoma float too.

Actually, I think the rocket man on Oklahoma's float was far more interesting..
