How I Use Star Wars in the Classroom

I teach Core 8, each section is 2 periods of ELA and US history. I use Yoda for grammar, and all the characters for archetypes in reading. I often refer to my students as "my young padawans". I often tell my students to use the force when they ask me an obvious question. I charge them to use their powers for good and not for evil. I am known for quoting Han and Obiwan, but I would like to incorporate the battle of Hoth into my history lessons, ie Civil War? Revolutionary War? Can't decide...
