Over the years I've come up with a few Star Wars Essays. They're usually told verbally, though. I don't know I've ever blogged any of them. They are:
* Luke's real weakness, Lando's strength; and
* It had to be Ewoks
There might be another, I can't remember at the moment.
Anyway, here's some SW stuff I posted awhile back on my old blog. To keep the Warsians going in the meantime...

*********

Whoa! You have a 'new employer'? Did you just sneak that in, or do we already know that? I've not been well, so perhaps I missed an earlier entry.
Congrats on and success with that. Will it mean you'll have to change your hours? Okay, Life is Change. The cats will adjust. And they'll tell you about it.
*happy sigh* what a great post. You hit all our favorite SW lines and some more that we will have to adopt. thank you, mabel!
Coincidentally, just now working through the series again... Got through epi. III which I consider to be the weakest of the six movies - which is unfortunate because it is probably the most significant of the six in terms of the Important Things that go on.... but technically, it just misses on so many cylinders ...
However, now that the setup is done, we can move on to the three most entertaining episodes - made back in the days when the series was more about high campy entertainment than about the "religion" of SW.
Da Da, Dadadadaaadaaa, dadadadaaaa (SW theme music) fade out....
@nancy - You didn't miss anything. I haven't talked about it at all, cause it's just a part-time trial thing, may not work out. I didn't want to get too hyped about it til I see what happens! Some of the work might be at home, with the kitties will appreciate. :-) But ya, I've been concerned about if I eventually got a full time job out of the house (I'd prefer part time) because while Haley would recognize that routine, Minion's not so familiar with it. She saw me work FT for 5 months, but now for 8 months I've been a home mommy!
@Barb - So glad to find a fellow SW lover, esp a female one. Happy sigh back at ya. :-D
@dad - Ya I like III because there's a lot of interesting stuff, and it still manages to be poignant. It's so sad when he kills the padawans, and to watch Padme falling apart. But those three movies aren't good films as films.
