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.

    Your stitching is coming along great. I finished a very small crewel kit that I picked up a few weeks ago. I have another to stitch up. I'm trying to decide whether to hang them here or in the camper.
    Glad you felt well enough to stitch. Hallelujah for your back getting better and better.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    Lovely stitching, but Star Wars is not for me. (Especially when it sounds a lot like our world!)

    My children have a storage tub of Star Wars figures, and my daughter is still on the Star Wars train. TIE fighter. AT-AT. Millennium Falcon. You get it.

    I don't mind the Phantom Menace (though Jar Jar could have been left out), but the other two are soooooooo boring! It almost felt like it was all George Lucas going "I own Industrial Light and Magic! Look what I can do!" he really lost what made the originals so good. The new stuff, since Disney bought ILM, is better, but they've made so much I can't keep up - it's overwhelming!
