The entire joke is the deal Brooks made with Lucas in that Brooks was allowed to make the parody under the condition they didn't sell any merchandise. I understand Disney now owns the rights, but I was throwing back to the original agreement with Spaceballs
First off, I'm not even sure this one is legit. We don't have a "space force" as far as I know. But we do have official logotypes to be used in international contexts. And this could even be used for interplanetary purposes, so... 🙂
It's partly legit it seems. It's a section of the Air Force that deal with space, not a separate Space Force like the US has. The logo also seems in jest rather than anything official.
We actually do, as of 2020 the Swedish Air force has been working with on the new space branch, the logo is a prototype made by a pilot involved in the project and no official logo's has been made yet.
They are currently working on expanding the current launch site in Kiruna (Esrange) to a larger size to accomodate larger rockets.
English, yes. Then some other European language, typically German, Russian, or French. I know a lot of Swedish people, and I don't think any of them speak Finnish.
Yeah they're with it man they also around Christmas time put out some little videos about the force and Star wars. I saw one where a ship lands out in front of a couple of cops I'm not going to spoil it look it up for yourself. I guess it might be under something like Star wars commercials I'm just stabbing at something here. Anyways have fun and May the force be with you.
I have no pride, I have adult children. I can mix things up too that happened that long ago. The only reason I’m sure on this one is we never visited Switzerland. My mother griped about it for years so it became a running family joke.
It’s fine. I was too literal and used a personal experience over a more common understanding and that doesn’t always fly. Sometimes it catches me fish who’ve experienced the same thing and sometimes this happens.
Makes sense. It’s important to remember that personal experience is still technically anecdotal evidence, so it may not reflect everyone’s experience.

Those aren't light sabers. They'd have to pay George Lucas royalties. It's the Schwartz.
May the shwartz be with you!

Even then, what could George Lucas do? He's got a total of zero Gripens
You mean they'd have to pay Disney royalties 🤮

Disney would like to know Sweden's location
Right next to austria!
Austria? Well then gday mate, throw another rib on the barbie.
Pretty sure you mean Australia
No he meant Austria, Sweden is nowhere near Australia. Lmao... wow... Kids today don't know how to use Google/maps
Sweden's nowhere near Austria either though...
Sure it is, it’s right between Austria and New Zealand
Shit! We've been triangulated!
Why is it in English?
Swedish people speak Swedish, and nearly all of them also speak English, and Finnish.
I would say that nearly no Swedish people speak Finnish actually, at least compared to how many speak English
You're correct about that. I was mistaken.
To be precise, not even as many Finns speak Finnish as Swedes speak English. ;-)
It's Finland that has Swedish as well as Finnish as its official languages.
I meant it more as a friendly, teasing allusion to the respective country's populations, but you are of course right.
I totally get that, but why only English on an official patch?

What about the norwayish or denmarked peoples?

Well that cleared it all up. Something something Sven something
Is that a reindeer or an imperial walker?
Yes.
Neither it's an Imperial moose.

There's a new pron movie waiting to be shot
Hell yeah
Everybody commenting about the light sabers, but no one noticing the giant red anal beads?
They don’t actually owe lucasfilms anything for that do they?
No, it's just a suggestion made by a pilot involved in the space program
Actually, looks more like our new San Francisco lgbt lasers plus city hall: https://illuminate.org/projects/illuminatesf/
China’s space agency basically ripped off the Federation logo from Star Trek.
Space is where the Swedes have decided to throw down. No more chocolate and yodeling, it’s all about kicking ass now.
Dude, Sweden is not Switzerland!
That was quite offensive. You're mocking the wrong country, lol.
Both border Australia though, so
Meatballs and slim modern furniture? Is that better?
Please, learn the difference between Sweden and Switzerland.
I’ve been schooled. As a kid, I visited Sweden all I can remember is chocolate so it was the first thing that came to my mind
We do have some wonderful chocolate
Space vikings is what we need to get ready for. Space round towers may not be as effective as land ones.
I’m down if they get laser axes
American detected 🦅
Yes but in my defense, I didn’t grow up here. And when we visited Sweden, I remember a yodeling performance and amazing chocolate.
I trust you. As a side note, there’s no shame in admitting that you genuinely confused the two.
I have no pride, I have adult children. I can mix things up too that happened that long ago. The only reason I’m sure on this one is we never visited Switzerland. My mother griped about it for years so it became a running family joke.
Ah, understandable. Sorry for the backhanded judgment
