Or you could steer the car using the force and ram people, or just throw it at them.

Did you see the news about them releasing the proper original trilogy on DVD? And that they are rips from the laserdiscs because Lucas 'taped over' the original films?

Penny Arcade are right.
That's general policy, rather than a specific statement on this.

Star Wars Drinking Game!!!
Basically, every time one of the listed events occurs, everybody takes a sip of their drink. If you are using alcoholic beverages, I really don't recommend emptying a whole glass each time. You will lose conciousness before Vader even says "Don't underestimate the Force".
Drink whenever:
* Someone has a bad feeling about this.
* It is Luke's destiny.
* A TIE fighter explodes for no reason.
* Obi-Wan Kenobi materializes for a guest appearance.
* Luke discovers a long-lost relative.
* Han brags about the Millenium Falcon.
* Anybody insults the Millenium Falcon.
* Tarkin brags about the Death Star.
* Leia insults somebody.
* Luke whines.
* The Emperor cackles evilly.
* Yoda uses bad grammar.
* Yoda talks like a fortune cookie.
* An entire planet is described as having one climate.
* It's their only hope.
* R2-D2 gets thrashed.
* C-3PO loses a body part. (Take two drinks if he is completely dismembered.)
* Luke fights monsters or savages.
* Obi-Wan plays detective. (". . .Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.")
* Boba Fett talks.
* Somebody gets choked.
* A gigantic technological marvel explodes in a single blast.
* There is a tremor in the Force.
* Luke does some nifty acrobatic flip.
* Stormtroopers shoot everywhere but where they're aiming.
* R2-D2 plugs into the wrong socket and his head spins around.
* An old Jedi starts to ramble about the Force. (Vader counts.)
* An Ewok dies, and the camera lingers longer than it did when the Death Star killed billions of people. (Fourteen seconds. Count 'em.)
* Somebody's hand gets cut off.
* The Emperor has foreseen something.
* Luke teeters on the brink of a chasm.
* Stormtrooper armor proves useless.
* 3PO informs us of just how many forms of communication he's familiar with
* It's not someone's fault
* One or more heroes are almost eaten by a Thing
* Leia wears an outfit that covers everything except her face and hands * Twice if it covers her neck * Three times if she's almost totally nude
* A Jedi is much more powerful than he looks
* a woman other than Leia is on screen * twice if she's a Rebel * the whole container of whatever you're drinking if she's an Imperial (don't * worry, it'll nver happen)
* Something doesn't work on the Falcon * Twice if it's the hyperdrive
* Someone exclaims "No!"
* Luke is upside-down
* Someone does something apparently suicidal that turns out to be a good idea * Twice if it's not Han
* Someone wears the same outfit in all three movies * it counts if they change * at the end (I think Han counts, although his clothes do change a little.)
* Luke and Lando are in the same place at the same time * Twice if they speak to each other
* Vader runs into one of his kids and doesn't recognize them * Twice if he tries to kill them
* Someone is mind-controlled using the Force
* Luke's parentage is Foreshadowed
* People kiss
* A Rebel pilot is of a race other than white * Twice if they're non human (co-pilots count)
* A good guy wears white or a bad guy wears black * Twice if a bad guy wears white and a good guy wears black (for uniforms * only the first person on screen counts) * Three times if someone hovering in between wears gray
* Every time you find yourself talking to the people on screen
* Luke refuses to take someone's advice
* An elaborately made up alien has no lines
* Someone or something tries to get money from Han
The game ends when a bunch of Ewoks start dancing. No matter what you've been drinking, you will remember this image. The last person to give up drinking on each cue is the winner. Of course, ties are possible.
If at some point you find that no one can successfully operate the VCR anymore, the game may as well be abandoned.

25 Lines from Star Wars that can be improved if you substitute in the word "Pants"...
1) A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master.
2) You are unwise to lower your pants.
3) We've got to be able to get some reading on those pants, up or down.
4) She must have hidden the plans in her pants. Send a detachment down to retrieve them. See to it personally Commander.
5) These pants may not look like much, kid, but they've got it where it counts.
6) I find your lack of pants disturbing.
7) These pants contain the ultimate power in the Universe. I suggest we use it.
8) Han will have those pants down. We've got to give him more time!
9) General Veers, prepare your pants for a surface assault.
10) I used to bulls-eye womp-rats in my pants back home.
11) TK-421. . . Why aren't you in your pants?
12) Lock the door. And hope they don't have pants.
13) Governor Tarkin. I recognized your foul pants when I was brought on board.
14) You look strong enough to pull the pants off of a Gundark.
15) Luke. . . Help me take...these pants off.
16) Great, Chewie, great. Always thinking with your pants.
17) That blast came from those pants. That thing's operational!
18) Don't worry. Chewie and I have gotten into a lot of pants more heavily guarded than this.
19) Maybe you'd like it back in your pants, your highness.
20) Your pants betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for your sister!
21) Jabba doesn't have time for smugglers, who drop their pants at the first sign of an Imperial Cruiser.
22) Yeah, well short pants is better than no pants at all, Chewie.
23) Attention. This is Lando Calrissean. The Empire has taken control of my pants, I advise everyone to leave before more troops arrive.
24) I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants.
25) You came in those pants? You're braver than I thought.

It strikes me that nobody's going to remember all those rules BEFORE the drinking starts. Also, the pants post ammuses me greatly.

I have acess to a much better drinking game, but the rules are at home. Needless to say it does involve choosing a light or a dark side, and appropriate drinks. Star Wars drinking night when we all get back?
