This is an installment of Star Wars Yoga. We are following a correspondence between George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, and Steve Jones, Senior VP, LucasFilm Marketing and Brand Strategy. Currently, to shore up the flagging brand, Mr. Jones has proposed launching a line of Star Wars branded yoga.
From the Desk of George Lucas
Dear Steve,
First off: what exactly is Yoga? Is that some weird fan fiction version of Yoda? I suppose the 'g' sort of looks like a downward 'd'. Is that what this is? Fuck, those people are weird.
Sincerely,
GL

Dear Mr. Lucas,
No.
Perhaps you should just let us take the lead on this one. I think you maybe are better suited to the creative stuff, let us lackeys worry about making money.
Yoga is a millennia old physical and spiritual practice that originated in India way way before Star Wars btw (and yes, I am aware that technically Star Wars also happened a long time ago... actually, mental note: possible synergy there.)
It will probably be lost on you, but attached is another SW-Yoga Pose Concept. We tested this one in the 30 - 40 set, and let me tell you: the guys at least went berserk.
Best,
Steve Jones
