Solo's Run


Han Solo: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.
Princess Leia: It's a wonder you're still alive.
[Pushing past Chewbacca]
Princess Leia: Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
Han Solo: No reward is worth this.

That's right, I'm supposed to be Han Solo for my company's Christmas party. Unbelievable. Well, the party has a theme, and that is the 1970's. So most people are coming in flares and frilly shirts, like hippies. But my table has decided to do something special. We've decided to come as characters from movies made in the 70's. And that, unfortunately, includes Star Wars. So someone smart (Obi Wan) suggested that we all come as characters from the classic Star Wars film, and hence I was delegated the role of Han Solo, Captain of the Millenium Falcon, the fastest ship in the galaxy. Let me make this clear, I did not chose to be Han Solo, I was delegated the role as the other characters were already taken up. Given a choice, I would have prefered Chewbacca. Or one of the Jawa people. How the hell in Tatooine's moon am I supposed to pull this off, I don't know. May the force be with me.....

[after a successful rescue of Princess Leia]
Luke: So, what do you think of her, Han?
Han Solo: I'm tryin' not to, kid.
Luke: [sotto voce] Good.
Han Solo: [baiting him] Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me...
Luke: [quickly] No.

Justin, Fede!

Thanks for your support!
The party went fine and I think the Star Wars group really pulled it off. We were all looking pretty authentic. I even tried some Han Solo lines on a serving girl, who just giggled nervously. Hahaha!
What a laugh!

Fede - Enjoy your holiday! Will talk to you soon. Have a Merry Christmas!

Justin- You enjoy yourself too! Looking forward to seeing you in March. Send my regards to your family. Merry Christmas!
