The Stafford Challenge, Day 19

Today, another curtal sonnet continuing our Princess Leia theme. Some readers may find her voice here a bit sacrilegious, but remember she was probably just 21 in Return of the Jedi. My inspiration is the photo below — maybe take a look at that first. Princess Leia's Day at the Beach — a curtal sonnet Here we are on some sandy Tatooine beach . . . did you even know there were oceans on this desert planet? Me, Darth Vader (yes, he’s my BFF behind the scenes!), an Ewok whose name I forget (Cute Buns, I called him), and one of Jabba’s raider henchmen (no cutesy nickname for that guy). We brought beach balls, two metal bikinis (had a spare), orange and yellow lawn chairs (all set to catch us some double-sun rays!)                                           plus Margs in a cooler! —Draft by Vince Gotera    [Do not copy or quote . . . thanks.] Okay, not in universe: the occasion here is a Rolling Stone photoshoot of Carrie Fisher and other Star Wars characters at Stinson Beach in 1983. The source is an SFGate article. Be sure to take a look at this article ... lots of great photos there!
