i think my biggest frustration with the way many fans discuss star wars is the disdain they have for the genre of the movies and the way they dismiss the context for why they are the way they are. there's almost a contempt for the stylistic choices made; they wish that the movies were more like action movies than heroic space fantasy.

i like that they are stylized. i like the genre. i do not wish they were different. it surprises people when talking to them about star wars when i'm not eager to rag on the movies for repetitive or silly dialogue or things like that. it's like a large part of star wars fans love to hate star wars for being star wars. i am not part of that group.

i think that the star wars: magic of myth exhibition book is a great read that provides much essential context. there's a quote in there from science fiction author brian aldiss who defined 'space opera' in 1974:

Ideally, the Earth must be in peril, there must be a quest and a man to meet the mighty hour. That man must confront aliens and exotic creatures. Space must flow past the ports like wine from a pitcher. Blood must run down the palace steps, and ships launch out into the louring dark. There must be a woman fairer than the skies and a villain darker than the Black Hole. And all must come right in the end.

lucas's project is not realism, he is not a character-driven director! he is concerened with cinema as the moving image, loves speed and visual impact, soaring music and clear archetypal action. his dialogue is not naturalistic patter, just as the costumes are not streetwear. it's a movie shaped by its references to flash gordon and buck rogers.

it's melodramatic and obvious in its narrative goals, there's no secret to whether or not darth vader or the emperor are bad guys, you know? it's not about parsing their intentions, it's about how their dark looming figures fills the screen and enters the public consciousness as avatars of evil. luke, leia, obi-wan, all wearing white, are heroes to inspire and emulate.

those who dislike an elevated artifical style, who only want andor rather than flash gordon, are engaging with the material in a way that's simply different from the way i am, so we just talk past each other lol

To share a table with someone is to share everything.

If you ever go to the Valencian Country and they offer you an esmorzaret ("little breakfast", from esmorzar -"breakfast"- with the diminutive suffix -et), don't be fooled, there's no -et in it.

Valencians are known for using the diminutive suffix quite liberally, and this is definitely one of those cases. The diminutive can mean small, cute or show affection. In this case, it must be ironic humour.

The esmorzaret refers to a big breakfast or brunch that starts with some smaller appetizers like tomato and onion salad, olives, peppers, pickles, crisps/chips, cacau del collaret (local variety of peanuts), white lupin beans, omelette, even sausage, among others. The central element is a thick sandwich (and what a sandwich! this is a whole art form). All of it accompanied by either wine mixed with sprinkling water or by beer. The ritual ends with a cremaet, a cup of espresso coffee with a drizzle of burnt rum (the alcohol leaves when it's burned) and aromatized with cinnamon, coffee beans and lemon peel.

Back in the day, this was done because most people had hard physical jobs in the fields. Nowadays, it has become a social event.

Kitsune Meals

Food is very important to a kitsune, who will strive to eat several meals throughout the day such as:

Pre-Breakfast Snack (whatever's sitting around because breakfast is taking too long to prepare)

Breakfast (a hearty meal to start the day, meats, eggs, fruits, and breads)

Second Breakfast (coffee, pastries, sausages)

Elevenses (tea or coffee with biscuits/cookies)

Brunch (a combination of all food types, usually with eggs, sometimes with booze)

Luncheon (the hearty midday meal, can involve big sandwiches)

Afternoon Tea (tea, savory sandwiches, sweet cakes)

Dinner (typically meat, potatoes, and vegetables)

Supper (a light meal, usually a bowl of soup)

Fourthmeal (crunchy, chewy, cheesy, melty)

Midnight Snack (once again, whatever's sitting around)

Of course, in-between-meal snacks are always welcome.
