Rebel Life of the Party?
Normally, I would not advocate inviting known members of the Rebellion to any celebratory occasion held the Empire or its members. However, this particular item may prove to be a tasty exception. While particulars of the pastry art itself are lacking, it is still a most impressive and somehow adorable work of confectionary art.
The few details available are that this cake was produced by Confectionary Delights, and designs are by a human named Michele.
Han Solo in Cake-onite (Boing Boing)
As I mentioned in my last missive, this planet recently witnessed a large diverse sporting competition. While I still do not understand the full significance of this competition, I understand that they are important in international relations and world unity, or at least in theory. Given the amount of conflict on the planet, and the necessity of Master Thirteen’s mission, the efficacy of these “Olympic Games” in unity and harmony is questionable.
There are times where my technical knowledge seems to fall short. This is quite obviously one of them. While I am familiar with many forms of Imperial equipment, I was never aware that the Sienar Systems TIE Advanced prototypes ever featured inflatable ramps or life preservers in case of water landings.
Over time, video has become more and more popular on this planet’s communications major communications network. This is not unexpected – humans are very social creatures, after all, and recent years have seen both a rise in quality of recording equipment along with decreasing prices for the same. However, now we see something new.
I think many droids may find this sculpture inspiring, or triumphant. After all, as the human writing the linked article notes, “But mostly, he looks like a giant robot conqueror, who came to our planet to conquer it and ended up ruling over a deserted junkheap which he uses for spare parts.” However, I find it somehow rather sad. This sculpture is created out of the same amount of electrical and electronic waste products the average citizen of the United Kingdom was projected to dispose of in a lifetime, based on figured in 2006.
As readers may already know, I have noted in the past that early education is important in forming mental structures, work habits, and attitudes that will last a being throughout life.
Okay, perhaps not an entire world, but I have found several more examples of droids from the movie WALL-E in the ever-popular papercraft format. Not only do we have WALL-E himself, we also have EVE, and a AXIOM starliner. These models have been designed by Julius Perdana, and appear to be quite well done.
