In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

[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.]

[ 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.

[theundertaken]

Oh...you watched Spaceballs? That probably didn't make any sense without knowing Star Wars.

[lovecolored]

Well, it was kinda funny, but I think I'd have liked it better if I understood where it was comin' from, yeah.

The original ain't a comedy, then?

[theundertaken]

No, it's a pretty straight sci-fi thing. Classic.

Awww... [ she looks a little disappointed for a moment, but then perks up again ] Okay, what's the deal with the little tiny beepin' robot, then? What's he do?

[ marisa just watch the movie don't ask for spoilers ]

[theundertaken]

He beeps!

[lovecolored]

I got that. I mean, does it actually do anything except beep and be cute?

[theundertaken]

He's supposed to help you when you're flying a, like...fighter jet spaceship. It's just that nobody's in one yet.

[ mentally filing r2d2 under "robot shikigami" now ]

Oh, huh. And these movies are like, super popular? [ why else would they get a movie of their own that's just a giant parody?

Don't mind her she's just gonna start eating her popcorn while she talks ]

[theundertaken]

Yeah, definitely. It's a whole...cultural icon thing.
