I don’t have enough Star Wars merchandise to wear during my odyssey. Not enough costume changes. The shame. My BB-8 socks are right next to me. Will put them on though this droid isn’t in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Think, think, think. Sand, Freeing slaves, Jar Jar, R2-D2, Podracing, Young Obi-wan. I got nothing. I ate leftover CPK California Veggie pizza for dinner. Will finish the leftovers tomorrow. I ate the pizza with a salad (not from CPK). I want to open up a Scotchmallow Tree, from See’s Candies, but it’s too late and I’ll eat it tomorrow during breakfast tea. I think I had my final Dunkin “Sugarplum Iced Macchiato” for this holiday season. I hope they bring it back next year. I’m going to watch 1/2 or 1/3 of the movie today and save the remainder for tomorrow. My goal is...Monday - Tuesday, Episode I. Wednesday - Thursday, Episode II. Thursday, The Clone Wars movie. Friday (which will be Christmas Day) Star Wars Lego Holiday Special (2020) and start The Clone Wars animated series.

Are these Lego movies part of cannon? Do I type “part of the cannon” or “part of cannon”?

I don’t remember the last time I watched Episode I. I remember watching it in the movie theaters when it came out. It was 1999 and I was in college. I’m sad to say that the theater where I watched this movie had to close down this year due to the pandemic. I don’t have any Jar Jar hate. Is he a Sith Lord? So be it. Even if he is a Sith Lord I remain neutral. I’m trying to think if I can recall any quotes from this movie...

“Augh!” - C-3P0.

“I have a name. I’m a human being” - Young Anakin. Is that the line?

Hōkūao. If you are reading this. I remember you explaining symbiotic relationship but failing to grasp a proper definition during Hawaiian ‘ohana class. I could have assisted but didn’t. I know this word because of Episode I/Star Wars.

Off to see the Jedi Masters the wonderful Jedi Masters bringing balance to the Force...or so they think...but in actuality I guess they do. Mission Accomplished. Bravo! It’s a neverending process...bringing balance to the Force.

Do I write about the Patriots? Do I write about the Patriots? I saw a guy wearing a Patriots facemask. I passed a mall kiosk selling a Patriot facemask. I have Faith. I have hope. My heart will go on. I said the same thing when the Bruins 2019- 2020 season came to an end. Yes, this has everything to do with Star Wars.

I hate Instagram... but this was written by my somewhat-vegan quarterback brother.

I think I watched 40 minutes of Episode I last night. A lot of the movie dialogue reminds me of the position in which the Patriots find themselves. I knew it has everything to do with the Patriots. Also I'm glad I bought two Scotchmallow Trees though I wouldn't mind more but I don't want to go to the store, wait in line, and pay $3.10 for candy. The quote is: "Anakin: I'm a person and my name is Anakin." I like this quote for the holidays: "Anakin: Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other". I thought about Hōkūao and I felt bad. Sorry - Kaumaha.

Extreme important vessel talk.

I have yet to finish Episode I: Phantom Menace. I don’t want to say my Saga plans were too ambitious. The night is young. My dinner tonight consisted of Lay’s sour cream and onion potato chips and cornflake cookies. Thank you, Jean for the holiday cookies. These are legit cornflake cookies. Delicious. I don’t want to share. Who came up with cornflake cookies? Was it a mistake? What other cereal cookies are there? All of the cereal flavors. Pretty much, huh? Dustin Rhodes just beat Evil Uno on tonight’s “Holiday Bash” AEW show. I bought the party size bags of chips. Happy Holidays.

The night wasn’t that young but I did finish Episode I: Phantom Menace.

Lego Star Wars Holiday Special: Happy Life Day. This was thoroughly awesome. Grandpa vs Grandpa vs Granddaughter. So many Luke Skywalkers. This has influenced my July 2021 Mid-year reading list/reminder it’s 5 months (or four months...depends on which holidays your celebrate) until the holiday season/I’ve been fully engrossed in the Star Wars Saga. Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Does everyone speak Huttese? I’m wearing my Star Wars leggings and Chewbacca socks as I type this. I have an hour and nineteen minutes left of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. I’ve spent a lot of time on Tatooine between the Mandalorian (season one and two), Episode I, and Episode II. I remarked to my sister that I forgotten all of Queen Amidala/Senator Padme’s fetching

outfits. Talk about costume changes. I’m at the Jango Fett, Boba Fett,

and Jedi Kenobi “Seismic Charges” part. Do they call him Master

Obi-wan or Jedi Kenobi? Depends whom is talking to him? R2-D2 carries a lot of secret information throughout the Saga. I forgot that was how Jango Fett died. It took me three days to finish Episode I and one day to finish Episode II. On to the Clone Wars animated movie. I’ve never seen it before. I may have watched a marathon of the Saga, sans the animated movies and series, in anticipation of Episode XII: The Force Awakens. Sounds like something I would have done.
