Come see a Star War

[forcechanic]

Okay, I have all three Star Wars movies on... something called VHS. And I've found the machine to play them. So the plan is to watch them today. Find out what's in them, exactly.

[Because it's easier when you know what exactly other people know, okay?]

I wouldn't mind some company if anyone's up for a... movie night, I think they say?

My parents are Han Solo and Leia Organa.

[On the one hand, that's... On the other hand, if you'd told her that vampires exist and are among us fifteen years ago she wouldn't have believed it either. Or that you can be abducted to weird world changing continua like this one.]

Well, you definitely don't show up in the films.

[forcechanic]

From what I'm told, the films stop at Endor. I was born five and a half standard years after that.

[So of course she's not in them]

Dad and Uncle Luke were here until recently.

[overlevende]

I only came here a week ago, so they probably left before I arrived.

[This is so weird...]

So you're looking to see how accurate they are?

[forcechanic]

Yeah, you just missed them.

From what I hear, they're accurate, but I'm not clear on what did and didn't make it in. A lot happened in the years they cover.

[overlevende]

...Does that happen a lot, that the world and history of a traveller are a fictional story in the world of other travellers or worlds we visit?

[forcechanic]

It's happened at least one other time that I know about. So you gotta figure it's happened to everyone somewhere.

[overlevende]

I guess not having been born yet for the fictional adaptation’s timeframe is the best way to show up in them.

[She'd certainly not want people to watch a film on her life, especially not with her as the protagonist. Whatever genre that would even be.]

[forcechanic]

Besides, there are lots of holodramas at home about all of that. It sounds like these might be more accurate than a lot of those.

[overlevende]

I guess that makes sense.

Where should I come for this movie night, and when?
