A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS Episode VIII: The College Student
It is a period of desperate readjustment. The dreaded “winter break” has derailed college students across the galaxy from their carefully planned and less-than-carefully blown routines. Thrust into a new semester, the forces of somewhat intoxicated and significantly exhausted students have rebelled against the evil Chancellor of Student Affairs. Pursued by the Chancellor’s sinister agents, the professors, college students managed to steal secret plans to the Chancellor’s ultimate weapon: the Transcript Ordering Center. But rebel leaders and Death Stars aside, read on to experience college according to Star Wars.
