If you’ve been following along with my adventures of late, you know that I have had a hard time finding the right white noise to sleep to.
Well, recently I’ve had the most success with Star Wars- A New Hope. With a storm rolling in and having woken up way too early after going to bed way too late, I decided a nap was definitely in order.
So there I am, tucked comfortably into bed, the opening crawl scrolling up the screen when Rick decides to pull up a pillow and watch awhile.
And speculate. And keep me from napping.
Rick: You know, something’s been bothering me ever since I watched Rogue One.
Me, wearily opening one eye: Oh?
Rick: Yeah… all these guys are wearing the Rebel uniform. So how can they be trying to claim they aren’t a part of the Rebel Alliance?
Me: Maybe it’s the Alderaanian uniform which the Rebels adopted after what happened at Alderaan.
We both think a beat as Vader stomps onwards.
Me: But considering what happened to Alderaan, where the hell did they get all these extra uniforms to outfit the damn Rebellion?
Rick: Maybe that was their diplomatic mission. For all we know, the cargo hold is full of Alderaanian uniforms.
Me, getting out of bed with a sigh: I gotta go type this up or I’ll lose it.
And Rick just laughs. He’s a bad man.
I go back and lay down, movie gets a little further along, to where Aunt Beru is yelling up at Luke to tell Uncle Owen to get a droid that speaks Bocchi.
Me, muzzily from far under the covers: What the hell, it’s the future but they don’t have personal communication devices?
Rick, snickering cause I’m still awake: They have comlinks.
Me: And they aren’t using them why?
Rick: They don’t want to waste their minutes.
Me, getting out of bed with a sigh: This is all your fault.
Rick: You started it!
