New York Competition No. 12: Star Wars in New York

Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. The best of last week’s submissions, including the winner, appear below this week’s call for entries.

To recap: On Monday mornings, we’ll lay out a challenge and offer a sample responses. Enter in the comments section, or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and on Sunday the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.

COMPETITION NO. 12: STAR WARS COMES TO NEW YORK. Please rewrite a line of dialogue (from any of the six films) reset to take place in our town. For example:

Dante… I am your father.”

When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not, unless Botox you have had.”

     I used to bullseye womp rats on the F train back home. They’re not much bigger than two meters.

     Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Especially if a rent-controlled lease you may inherit.”

The Millennium Falcon? It’s the ship that made the run to JFK in less than twelve parsecs.”

Post your submission in the comments below, or on Twitter with the hashtag #starwarsnewyork.
