When a Jedi sneezes....
It's waaay late or extremely early depending on how you look at it and my mind is entering that time where stupid, but for some reason seemingly important, questions are penetrating my mind as I try to stay awake. One question, which I will probably regret entering into my blog, but must for the sake of writing is the ever perplexing question:

What does a Jedi say to someone who sneezes?

I mean, since, May the Force be with you could be interpreted as "Bless you" it would still seem like an odd thing to say considering that it was "force" that just blew their nose to kingdom come. On the plus side, a powerful Jedi is always quick to hand you a tissue before you will know you'll need one. But that still doesn't answer the question, what would a Jedi say to somebody who had just sneezed? The Force will be with you. Always. Well that's not very reassuring. How's that going to make anyone feel better? Perhaps wise old Ben would know what to say, Hello there! Oh, don't worry. He'll be all right. Hmmm....maybe something less sarcastic, Come let me get you something. Of course, the last time he offered something, he amputated someone's arm with his flashlight only to be chased down by Stormtroopers and....well, you know the rest. Which leads me to Vader. If he sneezes, I'm not even gonna go there, but I'm sure if anyone else does or would like to, Vader just turns his helmet and gives that deathly black stare that says nothing but speaks volumes, DON'T...EVEN...THINK...ABOUT...IT. Vader probably had the ability to hold his sneezes in. After all, he was very powerful in the Force.

As Always,

Here's a tissue and May the Force be with you.

Hmmmm, interesting question. Goofy, but interesting. ;)

I often say 'gesundheit', the German word for 'health', when someone near me sneezes. Perhaps a Jedi would use the Huttese word, whatever that may be.

I do feel compelled to point out, however, that with his carefully controlled breathing, I rather doubt that Darth Vader would ever sneeze. :)

Very true. And if he did, what a mess that would be.:_|

A random answer for a decent question. Some people reply Gesundhiet...( don't ask me why but I think its german for someting). Maybe there is a reply in Huttese or something.

Perhaps they say "Pardon your French!" :D

Possibly, but which Jedi would be French?

The mystery deepens....
