Star Wars isn't just a series of movies. It's a way of life.

In a new minute-long ad from Target, a girl testifies to modeling her behavior on Princess Leia, a mother takes parenting cues from Yoda, and a teacher uses George Lucas' Shakespeare-influenced story lines to engage students in the Bard's own works.

That's because they all exceed more conventional takes on their prescribed roles, intones the commercial, titled, apropos, "There's a rebel in all of us."

Target has leveraged Star Wars in its marketing before.
