Train Station today.. Imperial Scum!
 
My chocolate mochi looked terribly familiar but the image just wasn't forming. I turned and saw the twins staring at me so we posed for this...

...and it finally hit me that it looks like the fish egg episode.
 
Speaking of seeing Star Wars everywhere--
I work for a nationwide internet provider, I manage a warehouse that holds equipment for my area. One thing about my field is technology changes all the time, so I never know what new equipment we will be getting. A few weeks ago I was in a meeting where we were discussing materials needed for a new neighborhood that is being built.
The meeting was fairly boring for me until, all of a sudden someone said "And we are going to need to order some Darth Vader helmets for this build." Well, my ears perked up at that! Over the past 18 years I've heard a lot of slang terms for different pieces of equipment, but I had never heard of any being called "Darth Vader helmets."
After all was said and done this is what came in. I will have to admit I understand the nickname. What about you? This is some kind of line container for a signal modulator.

Yep, I totally see it. And you know all the sales folks call it that for sure.

I believe your industry also owns the best Gonk droids with the above ground waterproof substation connection hub lids.

Funny, I first saw a Mouse Droid. Vader's helmet definitely work too.

This made me think of a second tag line for this thread:

"Star Wars is in the eye of the beholder"
