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.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
