Discworld Bookclub tonight, and we’re discussing Witches Abroad over themed food: alligator sandwiches, seafood dip, ‘foreign food’, and bananananananana muffins

On the last day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: the Crimson Firehawk.

🎉 Another Spaceshiiiip! 🎉

I didn’t know this one, it’s from an animated show for very young children. It’s such a nicely proportioned ship!

On the fifteenth day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: a tiny clone trooper from the 501st battalion!

All their siblings are very happy to see them

On the fourteenth day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: Pre Vizla’s Mandalorian fighter.

Spaceshiiippppp!

Vizla’s Death Watch group really needed an “are we the baddies?” moment about their branding.

Advent reflection: read the Magnificat lately? The prayer is a protest song attributed to Mary, and sings of scattering the proud, unseating the mighty from their thrones, lifting up the poor, feeding the hungry and sending the rich empty away.

On the eighth day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: Jabba’s sail barge!

Famously where Princess Leia strangled the loathsome peddler of death and misery with the chains he used to enslave her, prompting the eventual dismantling of the corrupt system itself.

Anyhoooo…

On the fifth day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: one AT-AT walker!

The NOSTALGIA! This is Star Wars to me.

On the fourth day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: one B2 super battle droid. Welcome, metal friend (enemy?).

Advent reflection: I don’t really have any thoughts or feelings about this B2 and you know what, some days are just like that. Clunky, and not very bright.

On the third day of Advent, George Lucas gave to me: one TIE fighter. The ones that sound like they’re being sick!

Advent reflection: 🎶’and I’m in… black TIE tonight…’🎶
