<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p><!--wsa:gooold-->After over 30 years, perhaps the Star Wars empire has already tapped out opportunities for profit among all but the newest generations of wannabe Jedis and Sith Lords &ndash; but probably not. Created by writer Matthew Latkiewicz, Star Wars Yoga might just be a masterpiece in the making. After all, who can resist Yoda doing yoga?</p>
<p>On &ldquo;<a href="http://www.youwillnotbelieve.us/pursuits/category/star-wars-yoga">You Will Not Believe This Blog</a>&rdquo;, Latkiewicz features images of himself in various Star Wars-inspired poses along with a series of faux memos between Star Wars creator George Lucas and LucasFilm Marketing VP Steve Jones.</p>
<p><span id="more-22748"></span><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/star-wars-yoga-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22750" title="star-wars-yoga-2" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/star-wars-yoga-2.jpg" width="468" height="536"></a></p>
<p>&ldquo;It has come to our attention here at LucasFilm that the Star Wars Brand has recently suffered in popularity. &nbsp;Forgetting for a moment the bizarre animated film recently released, Star Wars merchandise sales have hit an all time low. &nbsp; It is time for a dramatic rethinking of not only the SW brand itself, but also it&rsquo;s target audience. &nbsp; For too long we have tried to sell action figures and lunch boxes to overweight &ldquo;geeks&rdquo; and &ldquo;nerds&rdquo;. &nbsp; This market has and will continue to be loyal, but we believe they are also saturated.&rdquo;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22751" title="star-wars-yoga-3" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/star-wars-yoga-3.jpg" width="467" height="460"></p>
<p>&ldquo;We propose a new marketing strategy and target: the 30-something, health conscious consumer who probably owns an Apple laptop and is trying to live &ldquo;green&rdquo;. &nbsp; In this effort, we would like to initiate a line of Star Wars Branded Yoga. &nbsp; Attached you will find a design and concept study.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While a few of the poses do resemble actual yoga positions and even feature some impressive stretching and balance, &lsquo;Reclined Jabba&rsquo; is unlikely to creep its way into mainstream yoga practice any time soon.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/star-wars-yoga-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22752" title="star-wars-yoga-4" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/star-wars-yoga-4.jpg" width="468" height="500"></a></p>
<p>But Latkiewicz isn&rsquo;t the only yoga devotee to pull Star Wars references into this typically too-serious-for-pop-culture workout. <a href="http://www.yogatoday.com/videos/953125792%20">Yoga Today features a video</a> of instructor Neesha Zollinger decked out in Princess Leia hair talking about the &ldquo;unifying force&rdquo; and asking participants to breathe like Darth Vader.</p>
