TNT: In a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

 

There was stitching this week. The Mister played golf on Sunday and I put my stitching in my lap and the first two episodes of Star Wars on the TV. Everyone hates on the prequels and I wanted to see why. I saw Episode One in the theaters when it came out but hadn't seen the other three. While I was watching I finished the last of the big trees on the Garden sampler. 

I also finished the first of the side panels on Patchwork Automne. 

As for the movies, I didn't hate them but I thought they were too slick and glossy. I miss the cheesy low tech of the three originals. It was fun seeing the origin stories of some of the characters so ingrained in my psyche that I can still name them all. My boys had all the Star Wars toys back in the day.  I admit to getting goosebumps when that first screen crawl came up with John Williams' pounding intro theme. Believe it or not it was about unfair tariffs and trade blockades being forced on the galaxy by the bad guys which set off a war with the rebels. I kid you not.
