At the risk of winning awards for nerdiness...
So, I decided to take a big list of G.R.E. vocabulary words that I'm supposed to be learning, and put them into sentences related to Star Wars. The result of this exercise is that I realize I would much rather be tested on my Star Wars knowledge than just about anything else. Alright, time to get educated.
G.R.E. words... we don't need their scum...
1. - I trust good ol' sensible Admiral Ackbar to be PRAGMATIC when planning strategies.

4. - Though it was just an ion torpedo down the exhaust port, it served as a COGENT means of destroying the Death Star.
5. - Lando felt pretty guilty of the fact that he was CULPABLE for getting Han all frozen in carbonite like that.
6. - The asteroid chase scene would have been a lot shorter if those Imperial pilots weren't so damned OBDURATE.

13. - Yoda didn't mind being alone on Dagobah, because he wasn't a very GREGARIOUS, sociable kid.

16. - It's a good thing Leia was rescued; the Empire was never gonna MANUMIT her.
17. - Luke didn't realize that Ben Kenobi was living as a hermit of his own accord; he probably thought the old man had been OSTRACIZED from society.

19. - There is no lofty PANEGYRIC delivered at the celebration of the Death Star's destruction, instead everyone just smiles a lot and receives awards.

29. - Han Solo was willing to rescue Leia primarily because he thought her family was OPULENT and could give him a bunch of credits.
