I found out about this from the morning fluff column in the Wall Street Journal. They have a HJarry Potter clip and a Lego Exodus, too. I think they’re trying to make it “relevant” to kids. Or just scrrewing around.
The clip is here, too: Star Wars Seder - Sci-fi Seder - YouTube

Not to be confused with Darth Seder (not from that site):

Or this Battlestar Galactica/Stargate/Star Trek/who knows what hybrid:

I shouldn’t have started browsing YouTube. There’s a lot of them. I like this one, which has the Bugs from Starship Troopers as the Ultimate Plague of LOcusts:

Harry Potter and the Four Questions

Funny, he doesn’t look druish.

What the heck is a Seder?

7

Actually, Battlestar Galactica is heavily inspired by Mormon/LDS cosmology.

No kidding. In his Saintspeak Dictionary*, Orson Scott Card said that it ruined Missionary work, saying that it made potentioal converts giggle when hearing about the BoM from LDS Missionaries, saying “Sorry, but that reminds me of the silliest sort of science fiction.”

*OSC’s LDS-themed answer to Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary. The first thing of his I read, long before I learned he was a science fiction author.

It’s the Passover dinner, which includes a retelling of the flight out of Egypt.

About 20 years ago when I was in grad school, one of my profs would do creative Seders. I didn’t attend, but know that one of them included a rapped version of the Four Questions.

Part of the Jewish Passover celebration.

I think most of the people answering this are being whooshed.
If not, GuanoLad should just look at my posted links, since their point is to answer that question.

12

Was that the 5th (0th?) question?

(And I can’t watch the videos right now - please tell me that a Star Wars Seder has someone asking why that Jedi Knight is different from all other Knights?)

I did look, it didn’t tell me anything at all.

They weren’t being whooshed, it is apparently part of a culture I know absolutely nothing about.
