I just looked over my homework assignment for the week for my college Trig class, and discovered that problem 3, the last 2 pages of the assignment, is a fill-in-the-blank (and show work) section revolving around a story...from STAR WARS!  Luke is trying to rescue Leia from a nefarious scheme by Lord Vader in the Tibanna Gas Mines.

I think my favorite part is when the voice of Obi Wan Kenobi appears from beyond to warn "Luke!  Remember the ambiguous case!" and mystically makes a new triangle diagram appear on his cantina napkin.

Good times.

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is Math, and a powerful ally it is. Its laws surrounds us and binds us.  You must see Math around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

Yes, but he was a Sentinel.  Newton was a Guardian.
