In honor of May Fourth Day, here is a collection of my favorite Star Wars inspired Internet memes, video shows, ads and more.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the greatest Web show ever is the story of Darth’s brother Chad Vader<\/a>. Chad is a day shift manager at a local grocery store:
\n<\/iframe><br \/>\nChad made a spoof video called <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/sGTAnXqn9Jc\">Chad after dentist<\/a>, based on <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/txqiwrbYGrs\">David after dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the newest Internet memes and, I have to admit, one of my top favorites:<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d5mK7dzyUkM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Also somewhat new, this video proves that light sabers can make anyone look like a bad ass… including old men:<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0enVKJoCs0A\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Super Bowl has been the home of freakin’ awesome commercials, and last year <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vw.com\/en.html\">Volkswagen<\/a> came out with one of the best… ever:<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R55e-uHQna0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adultswim.com\/shows\/robot-chicken\/\">Robot Chicken<\/a>, to me, is one of the best shows with pop culture, tech and geek references made just for my generation. They were one of the first to come out with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1020990\/\">Star Wars parody<\/a> and it’s full of great moments. One of the quickest ones makes me giggle at their cleverness:<br \/>\n<object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" data=\"http:\/\/i.adultswim.com\/adultswim\/video2\/tools\/swf\/viralplayer.swf\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/i.adultswim.com\/adultswim\/video2\/tools\/swf\/viralplayer.swf\"\/><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"id=8a25c392132b05a201132ba023bc0073\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/i.adultswim.com\/adultswim\/video2\/tools\/swf\/viralplayer.swf\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" FlashVars=\"id=8a25c392132b05a201132ba023bc0073\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/video.adultswim.com\/robot-chicken\/ponda-babas-bad-day.html\">Ponda Baba’s bad day<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/3F1d3QWsyk0\">The Emperor’s Phone Call<\/a> are also great scenes.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/familyguy\/\">Family Guy<\/a> series, like Robot Chicken, is another <em>my generation<\/em> source of hilarity. They also did a Star Wars parody called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0888817\/\">Blue Harvest<\/a>, filled with great moments. I don’t know why, but for some reason, this is my favorite:<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EMSwOvedydw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This makes no logical sense whatsoever … but it’s catchy and hilarious:<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pNoEbGJsprI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This one is more than Star Wars, this video is an incredible ‘<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/lk5_OSsawz4\">cappella tribute medley<\/a>‘ to Star Wars (and other movie composer) John Williams.<\/p>\n<p>This to me sums up the love the Internet has for this little Sci-Fi movie. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starwarsuncut.com\/\">Star Wars Uncut<\/a> is a completely crowdsourced labor of fan love:<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/6788001?portrait=0&color=10d1f2\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/6788001\">Star Wars: Uncut Trailer<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/casey\">Casey Pugh<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are tons of these LEGO, stop animation short films.
