My Mom Loves Me! (DIY Flags)

March 18, 2015January 4, 2017 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 2 Comments

My mother says she hates Star Wars (or “Star Tracks” as she calls it). Hate is a strong word, but she just does not understand why anyone could possibly be interested in it. She does however love interior design and decorating, and she is amazingly good at it – in addition to being very creative. And being my mom, she wants to support all my endeavours! So she has been calling me with ideas of things to feature on the M4P blog. Thus we are going to start a new feature here at on our blog: M4P Mom. She already has a whole list of suggestions for cool Star Wars Day decor and party ideas. As we create them, I will take photos and write the how-tos here. THANKS mom for always being my biggest fan and champion.

Obi-Wan: That’s no moon… It’s a space station!
Han: It’s too big to be a space station!

Star Wars was huge, it was revolutionary! It was a social event! These days we all get our news and entertainment fixes from such varied sources, that it is hard to imagine that we will ever have such a common entertainment experience again. That blue black/gold white dress had everyone talking… But it will be forgotten in a few weeks. The last season of Breaking Bad was big, but still nowhere near the “Who shot JR” experience. So the Death Star, was, huge! Not just in size on screen, but also in impact. There are other newer sci-fi movies that might rival Star Wars in quality, fun and even entertainment value. However the Star Wars trilogy, is common experience that will be remembered, long after those other sci-fi movies have been forgotten.

Ewok Salad

Are Ewoks so cute you could just eat them up? OR, are they so annoying you just want to bite their heads off? Ewoks are pretty divisive creatures – either you love them or hate them. No matter which side you are on, this salad is for you, since you get to munch them right up.

So young. So innocent. That’s what I thought anyway until I watched Robot Chicken. There are a handful of scenes in the Star Wars movies that will just never be the same again. Luke at Uncle Owen’s breakfast table is one of them. Who would have thunk that the Tosche station was not, erhm, really a store?

I heard that the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, was supposed to take place with Wookiees on their planet Kashyyyk, and not with Ewoks on the Forest Moon of Endor. Personally, I have to say that does seem like a better idea, considering how divisive the Ewoks are. And everyone loves a Wookiee! Continue reading →
