In a Galaxy Far, Far Away…

The other day I was out with friends in Petone, eating crepes and walking Jackson Street, window shopping and impressing people with my knowledge of Lower Hutt cafes and indigenous shops.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I was held up at gunpoint by a storm trooper.

Just when I felt all hope was lost, I was saved by Han Solo.

He asked me to run away with him. I told him that I was grateful for his help and completely flattered, but I’m already married to Indiana Jones.

And he takes me to cool places AND carries my camera equipment. And he’s just generally awesome all around.

Fortunately Darth was nowhere to be found in Petone. We caught a glimpse of him in Aro Valley and he clearly has his own issues right now. He just hasn’t been the same since the Death Star was destroyed.

I have no idea if the Dark Side really does have cookies, but apparently they do have cupcakes. Very, very large cupcakes.
