Random Star Wars musing of the day

[yubsie]

A thought struck me in the shower today.

Why the frak did humans settle on Tatooine in the first place? Did it used to be a much more hospitable environment? Because it's not like humans developed there. Or were chased by cylons until their ships broke down. People went to all the trouble of travelling through hyperspace to get to this lousy planet where even the dust has dust. What were they THINKING?

Or is it just that magnetic force that always drew the plot back to Tatooine at work?

Clearly the shower is the most sensible place to reflect on the colonization of desert worlds. :p

Now, if it were a dessert world...

So when you're out at the beach on a hot day, that's the best time to ponder the world of Dagobah? ;P

If it were a dessert world... I think the Sith would have eaten it.

Dagobah was just MADE for pondering.

The Sith ate it! That's why the BSG cast never could find the hot fudge planet and were stuck with algae. :p

Ooooh, you are right on with the clever puns - I like that! After all, Yoda spent how many years pondering there? (Although now that I think of it, initially it seems like he might have been there hundreds of years... but with the advent of the new movies, it couldn't have been more than 18!)

If I were a Sith, I would totally eat a hot fudge planet.

I still have to watch BSG one of these days... :P

I... totally meant to make that pun. Yep yep yep. (Surprise! Not such a long established hermitage after all. :p)

Dude, I don't need to be a Sith to eat a hot fudge planet. It's a HOT FUDGE PLANET.

You do! It's wonderful! Heartbreaking, but wonderful!

I'm sure you did ;)

But... do you think a JEDI would eat a hot fudge planet?

So I've heard! I remember hearing my friends obsess about the show, and I just made them all promise that, when the series finale rolled around, they wouldn't spoil the ending for me so I could watch it someday ;)

Hot fudge is pleasant. Jedi don't do pleasant. :p Not being a Jedi, I will eat the hot fudge planet.

I'm not sure why I didn't watch it sooner. THough this way I never had to endure the horrible season finale cliffhangers.
