15. Shavuout comes every year, star wars come only 6 times in your life

14. Darth Maul is less scary than the guy sitting next to you in shul who stayed up all night drinking orange soda

13. Watching a movie causes less eye strain than learning Gemara (of course, you have glasses anyway)

12. Natalie Portman is much hotter than any girl in shul– plus she's Jewish! (it's true!)

11. Star Wars brings back happy memories from childhood, while staying up all night on Shavuout gives you bad flashbacks to that Shavuout in high school you stayed up all night studying for your American History

AP.

10. Watching the Star Wars geeks at the front of the line have a light saber duel are much more entertaining than watching the Galena brothers fight over who gets the last red Mike 'n Ike.

9. Yoda = a Rabbi, so technically you are fulfilling your obligation of learning.

8. Cause boba fett is more interesting than baba kama

7. Ruth may have been the ancestor of King David, but Natalie Portman not only has the child that saves the universe, but also wears entertainingly skimpy outfits!

6. Darth vader wears a black hat! What could be bad?

5. Girls, who shouldn't be learning anyway, can get a good lesson from seeing Amadala's large collection of fancy Shabbos robes and sheitels.

4. You can be oleh l'regel to Tatooine, which is clearly meant to represent Israel.

3. R2D2 & C3PO = modern day Hillel and Shammai

2. Important lessons you can learn about Judaism from watching Star Wars:
– It doesn't matter how short you are as long as you are really really smart.
– Women should never be in leadership positions. It always leads to death threats and fighting.
– Beware of yichud!!! It will lead to inappropriate behavior, even if it is an older girl babysitting for a boy. (see: Anakin and Amidala)
– The women who will make the best wives are not blond shikes (see: Fisher, Portman a.k.a. Hershlag)
– Just because you were an immaculate conception, doesn't mean you're not evil.
– You should always dress tzniusdic, but in cases of warfare and rescue operations pants are permitted (but ask a Rabbi first)

1. Oh please, like you're really going to stay up all night learning!!!!!!
