Groucho Marx, Jedi Master
A followup of sorts to "Groucho Marx, Jedi Knight". It occurred to me that Groucho in Koko garb was Jedi-ish, and, well, you know the drill.
In his later years, Groucho became a Jedi Master, head of the "Funny Walk" school of combat, and known for quotes like:
"I'd never join an Order that would have me for a member."
"Outside of a Tauntaun, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a Tauntaun, it's too dark to read. Don't ask me how I know."
"You can leave in a huff. Or you can leave in an X-wing and a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a parsec and a huff."

Very cool! I cannot recall the name of the lady who played Katisha, but I think it was the same large lady who was often cast as a foil or antagonist to Groucho in Marx Bros movies. Her 'Mikado" scenes with Groucho were classic, e.g;, "Tit Willow"..., but I also remember her aria on loneliness, "Alone and Yet Alive", as being extremely moving!
