Star Wars Chat Pack: What wedding gift would you get for the Organa-Solos?

Welcome to Day 21 of my NaBloPoMo Challenge, where I randomly pick a card from the Star Wars Chat Pack and try to answer it.

Today’s question is: You’re invited to the wedding of Princess Leia and Han Solo. What do you bring as a wedding gift?

Well, I’m not a very good gift-giver, but I’d love to attend this wedding!

The wedding on Endor.

So, Han and Leia aren’t your typical newlyweds. I feel like a toaster oven or crockpot would be inappropriate, lol. I’d want to get them something special, something meaningful, you know? If I had the money, I’d get a bottle of Alderaanian blue wine called Toniray. As Alderaan has been gone for a while by this time, bottles are rare and exorbitantly expensive. If I was rich, I’d get this for Leia, and for Han a nice bottle of Corellian brandy.

From the cover of The Princess and the Scoundrel, by Beth Revis, the book in which their wedding takes place.

Since I probably wouldn’t be rich, I’d get some kind of matching accessories for them: pretty hairpieces for Leia, and some cufflinks or something for Han (for the rare occasions he needs to dress up, lol). Maybe with the same kind of design, something that designates Endor, like a particular tree or flower that only grows there.

The lovely bride.

That’s all I got. As I said, I’m not good with gifts, but I do my best.

What would give Han and Leia as a wedding gift? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!

My Entertainment Weekend Update

Hello friends, and happy weekend!

If you like romance in Star Wars, this one’s for you.

So I’ve finished The Princess and the Scoundrel this week, and I enjoyed it immensely. Most books I’ve read with Han and Leia in them have the two separated, on different adventures or missions, but this one necessarily has them together during the whole book. It’s the story of their wedding and honeymoon, after all. And because they’re together the whole time, we get all of their arguments, banter, and romance (oh, the kissing that takes place!), all the time. And it’s awesome! They get to know each other better and try to figure out what this whole marriage thing is about. Oh yeah, and they save a crumbling moon from the remnants of the Empire, yadda yadda (I jest; it’s a good story). I think the author, Beth Revis, really nailed the characters of Han and Leia, and their dynamic. It may even be my favorite Star Wars book that was released this year, next to The Fallen Star. I’ve enjoyed all of them, but this one, I think, will have a special place in my heart.

I chose to set aside The Fifth Season in order to finish Princess, but I’ll be getting back to that now, and will have more on that next week

I’ve also downloaded the Ahsoka novel to my Kindle, as there was a $1.99 deal on it, which is something I’ll never pass up. 🙂

When it was announced that Andor was being moved up to Sept. 21, I had wondered if The Bad Batch S2 would also get moved up, as it was set to premiere Sept. 18th. Well, I saw that it has, indeed, been moved, but I haven’t seen a new premiere date yet. We’ll just have to wait and see when they’ll drop it.

On Sept. 8th, Disney+ will drop Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return, a sort of making-of doc about that series. I’m guessing it will be similar to the Gallery series we’ve had about the other shows, and I can’t wait to see it!

Also on Sept. 8th, Thor: Love and Thunder will come to D+. Geez, it’s still playing in my local theater, lol. I probably won’t be rewatching. I love Thor, but this one, while it had me laughing, also left me disappointed. I kind of wish I had laughed less and was invested more in the story.

That’s about it this week. What’s been entertaining you? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
