TOPIC: Prom

Alright, ladies and gentlemen,

It's Prom season. Anyone have any cool ideas for a Star Wars promposal? A group of my friends will all be asking girls at the same time in middle of my campus.

Currently, I have this:
-Bring my two SF sabers (approved by administration)
-Bring my Darth Vader Helmet
-Pull some strings as ASB Senior President to get the Imperial March to blast during lunch when we ask

Darth Vader will gather our girls in front of a staging area, then we will unravel banners/posters saying:
-"I was thinking of going Solo to Prom, so will you be my Princess Leia?"
-" Yoda one I've been Luke-ing for."
-"insert SW pun here"
-"insert SW pun here"

Does anyone have any more ideas for the poster puns or ways to further enhance the experience?

Thanks

And we'd be holding the posters along with ignited sabers and whatnot lol

The thing is, do the girls like Star Wars? Because if you did a SW promposal they might think it's geeky.

Hi SithLordLim,

How about, "I've been Luke-ing for love in Alderaan places, but now, found you have I!"

It's similar I know but I expanded on a meme quote I saw somewhere.

I think this will work for the right kind of girls! The ones who don't like it are the not the right kind anyway.

@SithLordLim.. My friend you must realize Prom is really for the girls. We're just decoration, and if there is a specific girl you need to play into her interests. If she is a huge SW fan, that could be really cool. It's not really till the after parties that you get to do your thing. If she loves SW go for it, it is a bold move that laughs at our insecurities. If not, I'm sorry but you need a new plan Good Luck and don't get to blasted

This guy knows what he's talking about haha^^^

@SithLordLim. Go up to the girl and say "You are my Girl" do it with authority Vader style. If you can pull tha off, it could be smooth

Thanks, all, for your input!

To the wise For Tyeth, I'm a little concerned that that may be a little too deep into the SW universe for the general student to understand lol.

To Gaelis, you right.

To Goon and SuUpberSith, I understand your concerns for the nerd & geek factor, but it's actually nothing to worry about.

Here's the situation:
1) We've already secured our dates because they're either already dating us or we've already promised to go together.
2) Our girls are freaking rad.
3) We're standing out from the basic boys' askings.
4) We're already going to have romantically presented Starbucks at their first period, 20 roses at their second period, and a huge stuffed teddy bear at their third, then we'll ask them with the geeky business at lunch.
5) If there's anything I've learned in high school, it's to be yourself. Conformity is whack and passionless.
6) I prefer to rep the nerds & geeks gang. As senior president of a school of 3500+ students, there are underrepresented cliques, such as the nerds & geeks. I try to stir the pot a lil bit (I also represent other underrepresented minorities through positions in BSU and NHS).
7) Star Wars catches attention. A girl's over-encumbrance of roses and teddy bears catches attention. We want our girls to attract attention
Star Wars is cool to pretty much everyone, perhaps even the popular kids in particular.

If I had a full Vader suit, and James Earl Jones' voice, I still would do a badass dance to Priceless Da Roc's "Yiken" before I use authoritative voice.

That's ok SithLordLim!

I've been "off the market" for chatting people up a loooong time. I'm also not allowed to use my Jedi Mind Tricks so "Promposals" may be out of my realm of expertise!

Good luck in your endeavours though....fortune favours the brave!

For Tyeth

Problem for me is I'm only a sophomore, and the junior has to be the one to ask. The girl I'm into I A) haven't actually asked out yet, and B.) is a junior. See my problem? Don't even really know if she likes Star Wars!

Don't know how the Junior versus Sophomore thing works over there, if you like her, can't you just ask?

EDIT: Just remembered the Rajesh anomaly. Is that the hindrance?

authoritive was the wrong term. Confidence and ignoring girls get you farther with many. If you seem confident and you aren't making it blatant you wanna party? Oddly it works, I did it throughout high school . Those were the easiest years of my life. The good old days. But Prom should be a 1 time thing,I had a double header in Baseball the day of prom half my team sprinting to cars!! Got home took off my cleats and jumped in the pool! It was wild, but draining

@Eddlyss64.....Screw the rules ask her out, she may be as nervous as you are

@OvrcAHst: I believe the rule is that the junior needs to ask the other person around here. But hell, I might follow yours and SuUp's advice and just go for it.

Hi Eddlyss64,

This is just meant as a joke as you know my advice on this subject, if she's into you it can happen just be brave!

But if that fails...



Seriously I hope things work out for you,

For Tyeth

*rolls eyes at For's humor but cracks a grin* Man, you and OvrcAHst are just gonna keep reviving that one, huh?

"Well MAYBE it'd end if you quit being such a pansy and just went for it!"

Shut up, Deadpool.

"Just trying to help!"

@SuUpberSith
Isn't Prom a 2 time thing i.e. Junior Prom and Senior Prom, or are the references made on US TV inaccurate?

@SithLordLim
That's a solid Game Plan you've got there. It looks quite intricately planned, staged and prepared. Credit to you with your organisational skill set and for representing.
Is Event Planning a possible career cue? Wish you success with delivery equal to the execution you have choreographed. Uncertain of your budgeting expense, for dramatic effect to simulate LightSabers (in addition to the actual Sabers you propose) are Air Dancers an option?

This is my second time reference where the first was used from your acknowledgement of the similarities.

It's a leap of Faith or if you prefer, Use the Force.
