Advent 18: The Christmas Armistice on Hoth
Make Lego Not war.
Reports vary but it’s believed that early on 25th the laser cannons stopped firing and the Mighty AT-ATs ground to a halt and a strange quiet fell across the Ice plateaus of Hoth, a silence only broken by the distant cry of a Tauntaun.
And then after a few minutes lone figures started to move tentatively out into “no-man’s land” and walk slowly and careful across the snow. When they were a few yards apart they stopped seemingly stunned by what was happening and then one orange figure removed his glove and offered a hand to a white figure opposite him. Slowly they moved towards each other watched by a thousand cautious eyes and then their hands met and they shook hands and then embraced.
All along the front the same event was quickly repeated, soon former enemies where laughing and joking swapping holographs of sweet hearts and sharing flasks of synthi-mac and bites to eat. After a few minutes a game of football broke out played amongst the smoking wrecks of snow speeders and the helmets and worse of fallen comrades.
All the time no one believed it could happen and then regretfully as the sun slipped behind the peaks final hands where shaken and arms patted and perhaps one and last final swigs (from almost empty) flasks taken and slowly and regretfully (with the odd wistful backward glance) the former foes returned to their respective “sides” of that lonely desolate frozen plain.
This Christmas remember its good will to ALL men (even those cloned from Jango Fett!)
Let’s hope peace can break out everywhere both here and in a Galaxy far far away
And remember as always

Make mine a 99!
Whatever you think of Starwars the way it exploded across our culture is fascinating!
These couple of canadians have taken a silly idea through daffness into something almost profound....

In Galaxy quite close actually
This wasn’t the way the future was meant to be....
When it came out Star Wars was mostly benign, the worst it offered for the future was being forced to eat the odd tentacle in the cantina, share an escape pod with a Wookey or loose at cards to a Hut.

But then came Ja Ja Binks and it’s all been downhill since then until the sorry state of affairs today when Star Wars technology is being used by:
Fergie to avoid admitting his team were rubbish.
By the Americans as form of territorial micturation with the Chinese.
If only it was more like this most of the time.
or this!
Oh and why was there never an Emmerdale episode called the “Revenge of the Seth”
“The Woolpack is too remote to prove a useful demonstration of our power......”
“there’s a strange disturbance in the force” or as Seth would have it “it’s dark over our Bill’s mother’s”.......

Boy defended mother using toy light sabre
An 11-year-old boy defended his mother by hitting an attacker with a toy light sabre, police said yesterday. The man, in his 30s, fled after being confronted by the youngster outside a bakery in Swardeston, near Norwich, officers said. Police said the boy hit the man with his toy after the man punched and verbally abused his mother as she approached her 4x4 car. Officers are appealing for witnesses to the attack, which happened at about 11am on December 22. PC Allan Jennings, of Norfolk police, said: "The incident caused quite a commotion and it is unlikely it would have gone unnoticed."
