The Jedi in Star Wars are brave, noble, and wise keepers of the peace who are respected throughout the galaxy, commanding authority wherever they go.

On the other hand, the Jedi in Tina Fey's whip-smart sitcom 30 Rock run down the street naked, twirling their lightsabers (not an innuendo) and yelling at passing cars.

Okay, sure, the character of Tracy Jordan may not be an actual Jedi, but the show's pilot does feature a cutaway gag where he strips down to nothing but his underwear and runs through the middle of a road shouting "I am a Jedi!" at the top of his lungs.

It's easily one of the most memorable, uproarious Star Wars references in the show, with some other good ones including Liz Lemon's rather great Princess Leia cosplay, and Don Geiss being frozen in a block that bears a strong, likely intentional resemblance to Han Solo's carbonite punishment in the original trilogy.
