Ever attempting to "stay on target." Whatever that means.

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

So it's OK to love "Star Wars," but the people who created the films have this advice for the die-hard galactic geeks: lighten up, have some fun.

Maybe Yoda isn't really a genius, maybe R2-D2 was kind of clunky ...

[Mark] Hamill says maybe there shouldn't be too much nitpicking or overblown reverence. As the Skywalker actor put it: "How can you be so serious on a film where you are dodging explosions and running away with Sir Alec Guinness on this side and an eight-foot monkey on this side, and the eight-foot monkey is the one flying the spaceship?"

About Us

A family of six bibliophiles. We've lived our entire lives in the Deep South and currently reside in the Atlanta area. During the day, Gaines schedules really big construction projects, but by night his superpower is translating Biblical Greek. Allison enjoys life at home with three adventurous boys and one little girl: teaching them, reading often, occasionally making crafty things, and coercing them into enjoying the great outdoors. We strive to fill our home with story and song, and truth, beauty, and goodness. We hope this little blog reflects that promise.
