In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

[theundertaken]

[Max doesn't bother putting out any flyers for this or anything; he's already discussed the movie party with a lot of people, and he'll probably round up anybody he's missed while he's getting ready. The preparations aren't anything too fancy. He's put a soda by each seat, along with a little plastic cup of popcorn. It's not a lot of work, but it's a fair amount of cups - maybe someone can help get it ready?

Regardless, he'll lean out the door and call when he's done:]

Hey, dudes, come watch Star Wars with us!

[Yes, it's Star Wars night. A New Hope, none of that prequel garbage. We apologize to Finn, I guess.]

Star Wars? Original?

[theundertaken]

Do I look like an animal to you, of course it is.

[le_mat]

Nope, you look like a sturdy white guy. But I've been wrong before.

[he grins, trotting in]

Wow, you have it fully set up in here!

[lovecolored]

Oh, is this a movie party? I'm game, ze!

[ you say party she's here in .5 seconds

watch her be disappointed when she realizes there's no booze tho ]

[theundertaken]

[Wouldn't we know by now if there were booze on the space station?]

Cool! It's Star Wars, have you seen it before?

[lovecolored]

[ Well she knows, she's used to 99.99% of the parties she goes to having nigh-unlimited alcohol. ]

Nope. But I think I watched a movie that was makin' fun of it, the other day? The guy in the black cape and big helmet was in there, and the gold robot.

[Did someone say help getting Star Wars night ready?

Jamie pops into the media room well before it's time to start the movie, ready to lend a hand should he be needed.]

Hey, Max, want some help?

[theundertaken]

Oh, hey! Sure, you can help me just sit all this stuff out. [He gestures around at the soda and popcorn bowls.] Don't know if everybody's coming, but we can just pretend.

[unhappylittletrees]

[Jamie gives him a small salute and goes about setting up cups of popcorn and pop.]

Who in their right mind would pass up watching Star Wars? Even if you're from a world without Star Wars you don't pass up the chance to see Star Wars.

[andjerry]

[so he's come by and sees the college guy there helping Max get ready- but hey let's do it and catch up]

Am I early?

[theundertaken]

Nah, dude, you're good! Just setting out some popcorn and stuff - I figure all the past people aren't gonna know what good movie snacks are, so we should help them out.

[in4apounding]

Is that the movie you were talking about?

[Assuming there's not an interstellar war going on outside the windows somewhere and they somehow missed it.]

[theundertaken]

Yeah! This one doesn't have romance in it so much, I guess, that's more in the sequels...

[kebakeba]

Star Wars? But it's so... old and dated. My parents were kids went it came out. [ which naturally makes it hella old ]

[theundertaken]

[Shrug]

It's a classic! Besides, half of us are from the medieval era or something, it doesn't matter.

[newcycle]

What's a Star War?

[theundertaken]

A war in space, I guess? It's a movie.

[immaculacies]

[Well, Manaka is here. Seated with impeccable posture, she stares straight ahead at the screen as she waits for the movie to start, her expression intensely serious.

She is going to enjoy this movie or die trying!!]

[theundertaken]

Manaka! [Max plops down next to her after a second.] Hey, you think you'd be up for watching the sequel after this? I want you to see it before someone spills what happens in it.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Zombina trots over as soon as she hears.]

Awesome! I'm more of an zombie movie and horror person, but hey, can't argue with the classics!

[photoshooter]

Wait, you like zombie movies? Wouldn't they be, like... racist?

[photoshooter]

Oh man, I'm so ready. This is the one with that Solo guy, right?

[theundertaken]

Yeah! You'll know him when you see him, he shoots fast. Before anyone! [fuck lucas]

[challengesfate]

Star Wars? Why are the stars at war?

[She figures it's a moving portrait like that one with the blue cat people but who's going to watch a bunch of stars flinging themselves at each other]

[theundertaken]

There's an evil empire, and people are fighting it.

[He does not realize she's thinking of literal stars]
