Darth Maul has seen a big resurgence in the past couple of weeks with the release of the Star Wars fan film Darth Maul: Apprentice by Shawn Bu.  I’m glad!  (And if you haven’t seen it, take a look here)

Though I don’t hate the prequels (as many do), I do think they have their problems. One of the biggest being how little screen time Darth Maul is given.  A back story, as well as more scenes to set up his skills, abilities and “evilness” would have gone a long way to add suspense and urgency to The Phantom Menace.

The big question on everybody’s mind when The Force Awakens movie posters came out was: Where is Luke?  Well, we now know there was a reason he was missing from the posters (BTW, brilliant marketing guys!),  and just like the movie, we have been saving Luke for the very, very end.  Today is the last of our The Force Awakens pixel pattern series.

We had our very first May the Fourth be with You Party in 2011.  Yup,  that was way before “May the Fourth be with You” was even a thing.  If you check Wikipedia it says its very first occurrence was in 2011.

It was early April that same year, and I remember someone on the radio (I think NPR) mentioning that “May the Fourth” was coming up. They said that the date was a special day for Star Wars fans, and the radio crew sounded pretty amused at the idea.  I got so excited I hollered out loud:  THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!  (Deep breath!)  WE HAVE TO THROW A PAAARTYYYY!  (We had just celebrated “pi-day”, so the idea of throwing a Star Wars party was a small leap.)

There are 2 kinds of Star Wars dishes: dishes that are based on food featured in the movies (+ TV shows and books), and food that is inspired by Star Wars.  Since there are only a handful of dishes actually featured in the Star Wars universe, here at M4P central we spend most of our time trying to be inspired.  Good thing we have help!  The Obi-Wan Cornobi dish is one do the funniest dishes we have had at our May the Fourth be with You Party,  and it comes courtesy of M4P friend Linda.

Bigger, badder, and just like all of Kylo Ren’s and General Hux’s ideas, completely over the top.

I can imagine their brainstorming session:
KR:  The Death Star was really cool.  Darth Vader was a genius.
GH:  Hrmph, he failed!  He was not thinking BIG enough.
KR:  WOAH! You mean A BIGGER Death Star?
GH:  Yes.  The problem with the first 2 Death Stars was that they were not big enough to conquer the universe.  The New Order is more powerful than the Empire ever was, and as such we need something that will cause the appropriate fear and destruction throughout the galaxy.  We need a (Hux almost whispers)… Starkiller Base… made from a real planet.
KR:    #$&*#(@ BADASS!
