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!

How to Make an Entrance! (DIY Star Wars Fabric Banners)

DIY Star Wars Party Fabric Banners/Flags /// We add new Star Wars crafts and fun to our blog every week! /// #starwars #theforceawakens #bobafett #stormtrooper #darthvader #starwarsparty #maythefourthbewithyou #party #birthday #flag #banner #tiefighter #rebels #empire #sewing/// maythefourthbewithyoupartyblog.com

Forget the balloons at the mailbox! A Star Wars Party deserves some truly special outdoor decorations.  So for last year’s May the Fourth be with You Party, Jedi Master Heidi made these banners (and banner stands) for the front entrance of our house.  They looked very festive, AND they served as a subtle warning to our neighbors that the Geeks were about to take over the cul-du-sac once again.

There has been more speculation about Snoke’s identity than pretty much anything else in The Force Awakens.

Is he alive (and shown as a hologram), or dead (i.e. a spirit/”space ghost” like Yoda and Obi-Wan)?  Is he Vader? The Emperor?  Obviously, he is not Porkins.

Andy Serkis was quoted as saying that Snoke is a new character, so maybe any and all speculation is pointless.   Still, my favorite theory is that Snoke is the “dead” Darth Plagueis, re-appearing as a “space ghost”.

After several years of not being able to “stay on target ” as it were, Jedi Master Heidi decided we needed a sign that listed the activities of our May the Fourth be with You Party.  Not that we have THAT many activities, but we are always so busy eating that we forget to make lightsabers… or take a group photo.  So to keep us organized, she made these (re-useable) chalkboard signs that R 2 cute…

Hux puzzled me.  At the beginning of the first viewing of The Force Awakens, I could not decide if General Hux’s character was terribly written or just terribly over-acted.  The answer is – neither.  About halfway through the movie, I realized what Hux and his relationship to Kylo Ren were all about, and I started truly enjoy when the General came on screen.
