I've been curious about this for a very long time, I guess it's time to ask.
When the 4500-E series switch boots and if you issue a 'show run' there's several Star Wars themed references and their revisions.
Does anyone know what these actually are and why they are using Star Wars terminology?
Here's the output:

Think they just like to keep it lite and not let it get boring . I have seen a few "dagobah" messages as it loads too.
