Since Bishop George Lucas has been appointed to the Diocese of Omaha you know I couldn’t resist some Star Wars’ tie ins. I started out making some on Twitter and others added their own.
Re: new bishop in Omaha. Do I go for the easy Star Wars joke? Naw. I’m sure @CurtJester beat me to it. 😉 @bettnett
Well actually Dom’s tweet was how I found out. But he does know me well as far as intent.
I hope he won’t be writing any dialogue for the liturgy.
As much as I love Yoda please don’t assign him to the Vox Clara committee for the English translations of liturgical texts. “Ended, the mass is”
It would be awesome if he had a pastoral staff/light sabre.
If Ja Ja Binks gets appointed as Auxiliary Bishop the Papal Nuncio will be going to detox.
His catch phrase is “Use the GIRM!”
His favorite Gospel is the Gospel of Luke
His first pastoral letter will be on bioethics & titled “Attack of the Clones”. @jasongennaro
I hope Bp. George Lucas attacks the (Culture of) Death Star as successfully as Skywalker did in Ep 4. @DenverGregg
“Bishop George Lucas tells everyone that he is their Father. @geek
He will rename them the Jedi Knights of Columbus. @vjmorton
the nun’s habits in the diocese will now have large black earpieces on either side @vjmorton
The THX sound at the beginning of Mass is a bit much. Still better than announcements. @joemarier
‘May the Force be with you’ … ‘And also with you’ @jordanhenderson
I wonder how many times he’s said tongue in cheek, “I find your lack of faith disturbing. @catholiclawyer
How about “Peter cut off the ear of the Roman first! @meepbobeep
So what can you come up with?

I’ve wanted to find a way to get a light sabre crozier for the Archbishop-designate since my seminary days.
I’m a STAR TREK man myself (harrumph!), and so have no comment. Now a Bishop James Kirk – there you would have something!
To Mack Hall and other trekkies:

Let’s not forget his other movies and hope that he’ll use (American) graffiti or any other method to spread the Gospel
Alas, Chris, I’m on dial-up, and can’t download video. I wish Scotty were here to make this antique work better!
Mack, anything is possible…
Church of the Holy Child in Wilmington, Delaware has a pastor by the name of… Rev. James T. Kirk, Jr.!!!
When kneeling to pray, he will do the Sign of the Cross and then say, “What is thy bidding, my master?”
When asked about Obama’s speech at Notre Dame, the bishop replied “I have a bad feeling about this…”
Who will help Bishop Lucas at Mass? Two words: Altar Ewoks
Commenting to the pastor of the Millennium Parish, St. Greedo of Mos Eisley, upon his first pastoral visit:
Abp.: “What a piece of junk!”
Pastor: “She’ll make point five past lightspeed for daily Mass. She may not look like much, but she’s got the tabernacle where it counts, kid. I’ve made a lot of special architectural modifications myself.”
Abp.: “You say Mass in that thing? You’re braver than I thought!”
He features a ‘special edition’ mass, with added incense and a musical number/Psalm from the Max Rebo Band. And the moment of consecration features an added “Praxis ring”.
(if anyone got all those references, please seek help… Lord knows *I* need it.)
