Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Well, what else can Llydien say? Except that they recently showed
this Muppet Show episode of 1979 with Mark Hamill's guest
appearance on television and Llydien was ENRAPTURED.
Alea was a witness, they were watching it together and she kept giving her patently understanding and very tolerant glances but Llydien didn't care!
...well, as for me (Alea) I have to admit
Mark Hamill was
rather sweet in that show so I can understand Llyd's obsession
up to a point, but the dear does tend to overshoot the mark (no pun
intended...!) sometimes. But bless her buttons,
that's the way she is....
Llydien's Luke obsession manifested itself on 16 April 1997
when the Star Wars Special Edition Episodes had just been released
in cinemas worldwide. On the eve of this memorable April
day Llydien and some friends went to the
movies. After long discussion on which film they should
watch, Llyd was dragged into 'The Empire Strikes
Back' by said friends (whom she has never
ceased to be grateful to!). She went into the
cinema quite reluctantly and not really
knowing or caring about anything Star Wars related.
THEN! Luke appears on the screen. Oh these memorable scenes!
Luke wearing skimpy tops and training with Yoda,
being so sensitively emotional upon Yoda's death
and in the end throwing himself into the abyss rather
than being in league with his father...OHHHHH!
The movie had finished, Llydien walked out
in a daze and the very next day started to find
out everything about her dream man. And has never ceased to do so
ever since. When she was
sitting her university exams in June of that felicitous year
Llydien got into the habit of revising Aristotle and Cather
by day and going to see Star Wars movies
(as often as they were shown at the local movie theatre)
at night....'Return Of The Jedi'
she watched 12 times. Well, that's Llydien for you.
Incidentally, she also managed to pass her exams.
