Help us, Obi Wan Kenobi. We're wearing Snuggies!

All of us have seen it on TV, the Snuggie, the armed blanket that is literally sweeping the nation. Millions of them have been sold. Drinking parties have now been inspired by this new creation.
By the next school year, Snuggie parties will replace toga parties on college campuses. But it suddenly occured to me last night. I've seen this before. The first person to don a Snuggie was Princess Leia from Star Wars. Of all the weapons, inventions, and gadgets that George Lucas inspired, the one that has come to fruition was the Snuggie.

Think about this for a minute. We're not flying around in Millennium Falcons. We can't travel at light speed. We don't have laser pistols or light sabers hanging off of our waists. We don't have laser beams that could blow up entire planets, although the Democrats are working hard on this one with all the money they're spending in Washington. We don't have cars that could hover off the ground. We don't have bionic arms that operate as well as authentic flesh. Instead of any of that, we created a fashion fad from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away called the Snuggie.

George Lucas should be demanding a percentage of the royalties on this one. What's next? Will women wear their hair to look like cinnamon buns? We should concentrate our efforts into
making technological wonders from the Star Wars movies. It's bad enough Carrie Fisher had to be so humiliated into putting on that notorious hair style. Now she'll be known as the woman who inspired the Snuggie sensation. Help us, Obi Wan Kenobi. We're wearing Snuggies!
