yo brian, long time no see — that english nerd comment, true to form — party foul!!!!!! :)

The follow up to this was going to either be a Bansai Tree/Endor Battle playset or an Herb Garden/Endor Battle playset. While researching, I discovered that both would actually be pretty expensive AND labor intensive. That doesn’t mean I’m forgetting them entirely, just putting it on the back burner.

Consider that George Lucas was heavily influenced by Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero with a Thousand Faces,” and his theory of comparitive mythology therein provices tacit support for an introspective Buddhism!

Interestingly, Campbell also was a scholar to some degree of James Joyce, and this Zen/Tatooine parallax is certainly a child of the Joycean ethic. An absurdity which would most clearly express it in the works to follow such as Beckett’s endgame and the postmodern children.
