I can’t remember the last time I made a port-Rey-t out of food. However, when Dave and Joely brought “Rey’s Krispies Treats” to our Star Wars party, I’m af-Rey-d I simply couldn’t ref-Rey-n myself from taking their idea, and making one of The Force Awakens heroine. I p-Rey they forgive me for appropriating their punny name!
There has been a big shift in attitude about Star Wars in the past couple of years. I’ve never cared if people thought I was a geek or not, or whether or not that was a cool thing to be. (I wear my labels proudly: Christian, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, artist, geek… though not necessarily in that order). But now, all of a sudden geeks are the new “cool.”
And that means people are making cool things just for us fans (ABOUT TIME!)! Pretty, geeky, cool, shiny things just for us fan-girls. Beautiful things like this Star Wars wrap bracelet.
“WAIT! WHAT?” you say. This doesn’t LOOK like a Star Wars bracelet? Take a closer look, read some of the words. I’ll wait…
Yoda is a dichotomy. Child-like yet wise. Small yet powerful. A puppet, yet in many ways the most real and relatable character in the Star Wars universe.
He is also the only character that is (almost universally) loved by the absolute youngest fans, as well as the oldest. The really young’uns are scared or don’t connect to most other characters. The characters they do love, Jar Jar and the Ewoks, many adults can’t stand. But Yoda is different, and I think it is precisely because of the opposites he embodies.
We have many more beer drinkers than wine drinkers at our Star Wars parties. Yet we have always only had regular, “boring”, non-Star Wars beer. Well, thanks to a post by Red 5 Mom and a few of our friends, this year, we finally had beer fit for a Star Wars Cantina.
First off, THANKS for all the love, comments and shares yesterday! We had a record-breaking 2.7K views in one day! (WOAH!) We also made lots of new friends, and had blast sharing and talking with our “old” friends! THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Now on to the subject of the day: Revenge of the Fifth, and why it is on the wrong day!
