This Movie’s ‘Lingo’ Is Part Of Daily Conversation

A recent study of British and American texts has found that “Star Wars” lingo is now a part of common speech. Phrases like “Jedi mind trick” and “the dark side” seem to require little to no explanation. People also routinely use words like: Yoda; Jedi; Padawan; and lightsaber. “This study shows Star Wars is inescapable – even if you haven’t seen it, you know about it and it’s in the language, and we can all understand what many of the words mean,” Professor Sanchez-Stockhammer said.
