industrial light & sweet

This "Java the Truck" coffee-mobile bummed out my friend Steve. He says as far as Star Wars themes go, "Truck" is too far of a stretch from "Jabba the Hutt" for this name to be good. He'd much prefer it to not be on wheels and go by the name "Java the Hut."

This got us on a minor Star Wars Themed Coffee Shop/Beverage tangent. Steve came up with "Death Starbucks"-- home of the "Latte Saber."

His favorite so far was my suggestion of: "Brewbacca's," where I think you might like to unwind with a refreshing "R2-Dcaf."

I'm not a Star Wars geek - I haven't even seen any of the recent installments, but if you have any Star Wars coffee shop and/or beverages you need to share with the galaxy, the comment board is NOW CLOSED.

Mocha Jawa should be the "small"...but for the extra-jumbo size, it should be *Mocha Jabba*!

I suppose the coffeeshop could be called "Chewbucks", but that's pushin' it. Oh, wait, isn't that what Starbucks does already with it's prices?

For the kiddies, how about some *Hoth Chocolate*?

Unfortunately, if you tried to open this coffee shop up. George Lucas would probably hire an army or storm troopers -erm uh, lawyers, to litigate you into oblivion. Thus blowing up your coffee shop with the light of a 100 suns.

If you open the shop, please make sure your menu reads like the opening credits to the first movie.

I'm still boycotting Star Wars after that stupid Jar-Jar thing I got sucked into a few years ago.

Posted by: Jakeums at April 1, 2005 10:08 AM

No problem. I'm prepared to defend my coffee shop with a squadron of Chai-Fighters.

Just to let you know, for whoever suggested them, wookiee cookies already exist. There's a whole cookbook on them and other star wars goodies.

How about Sarlaktose free milk?
You could get gatorade to sponsor since it has endor-phins.
Mos Eis Cream can come in a bowl or a clone.

I only want some Wookie Cookies if they're made out of real Wookies (with apologies to the Addams family)...

Posted by: Brett at April 1, 2005 11:46 AM

the Obi-wan canoli is superb, Dave.

A funnier spin on the whole wookie thing would
be "Wookies 'n Cream frozen dessert. Sounds kind of disgusting though,eh?

Maybe a single shot of expresso would be a Han Solo. Or not. Uhhhhg. This
has all left me feeling so geeky.

Posted by: felix at April 1, 2005 11:48 AM

may i respectfully say that this joke has run its course? dragging and analysing a mundane joke beyond its limits has been your (and your readers') forte, and i am always very entertained by it, but this one has gone a little stale. not unlike a degobagel. count it!

Here goes my shot at locking up the coveted "Geekiest Post" award.

Chai Snoodles

Wedge An-Tea Leaves

And perhaps, if this particular coffee shop serves sandwiches at lunch time, you could stop in and order a nice Bib Fortuna fish sandwich.

(and if they ever get their liquor license you could wash that down with a Qui Gon-Jin & Tonic.)

Alright, so that was a stretch.

Posted by: Shayne at April 1, 2005 4:39 PM

How funny is this, the guys at work are listening to the Cavs game while I'm reading this, and in the background I heard the "Star Wars" theme song playing. Talk about syncronicity.

Oh kay, so this is Star related in any case. I always wanted to open up a mall with a Star Trek theme. I think this would be awsome. You could call it The Promenade (because that was the name of the shopping/bar/restaurant area "Deep Space Nine." And all the employees would have to wear costumes and makeup. Paramount could back this whole thing. Like, the bar could be Quark's and you could get served by Ferengi. Mall security would be dressed in the brown Bajoran uniforms (one of them could have Odo's make up). There could also be Guinan's lounge for those who are in to Next Gen. There could even be actors who walked around dressed for the part as Klingons, Bajorans, Cardassians, etc, etc... And the coolest part, you could stop in at Quark's and get a Romulan Ale (which of course would have to be a "Blue Motorcycle" because Romulan Ale is illegal in Federation territory.

Okay, now that I've shown that I'm absolute and complete nerd....

Posted by: Axle at April 1, 2005 7:38 PM

There's an actual Java the Hut in Silver City, New Mexico (pop. around 15,000—my hometown). It's in a trailer (I think; or a trailer-like structure) on Bullard Street, next to the motorcycle shop, the window-tinting business, and the gelato parlor.

Posted by: Elan at April 1, 2005 7:51 PM

Yeah, I'm late on this, but I was reading these out loud and The Wife suggested a Geek Salad with Fett-a cheese.

Serpentia-

If you're listening to the Cavs game on WTAM 1100 you're probably still hearing the Cuban station that's broadcasting at half a million watts in the background, too.

Not that it has anything to do with Star Wars.

Um... Millennium Falscone?

I am not sure if this is related, but in a similar situation a group of friends and I theorized on possible combinations of presidential assasinators and sexual terms (I believe it was president's day, and I promise we are not sickos). let's just say sirhan sirhandjob was mentioned...

Posted by: Mallory at April 2, 2005 7:27 PM

Serpentia, your star trek fantasy has come true! at some hotel in Las Vegas -- probably owned by Paramount, of course.

As for the Star Wars Coffee Shop, drink names with which I agree are:
Luke Chaiwalker
Tea-3PO
R2-Decaf
Mocha Jawa

Desserts? I agree with and promote:
Obi-Wan Cannoli
Cone Troopers
Mos Eis-cream
Rum Bobas

Degobagels are fantastic, as is Admiral Snakbar (It's a trap!).

Here's a few:
Chai Wing
Yodargeeling Tea
Chewbaclava (pastries)

how big a geek am I that I know that that Chewbacca mug was the FIRST licensed star wars product ever? I think it was licensed before the movie even came out.

Pretty big geek I think... worth quite a bit for a mug too.

Posted by: Joe at April 11, 2005 7:51 PM

Just thought I'd add, my friends wanted to make an idea similar to this. Only it sucked a lot harder. A tahini truck, instead of an ice-cream truck, they'd put tahini in cones and sell it and everyone would know them across the country. Kinda stupid.
