She claimed the name “Captain Pipeye Twain,” a brat with a sailor's trunk.

She’s a Merchant's Marine from Skibareen, a-waiting in yonder bunk.

I played her card, and she rode me hard, whilst the night was warmed with rum,

But now tis day, and she won't a-way, 'til she's had another bump.

I don't mean rum, tis the other fun, needs trimming a-fore she sails,

But flood me scuppers, there’s no getting upwards, I’m withered by her gales.

A night in the throes of her mightiest blows, has me hull resting heavy and low,

just one more wink, and I’ll likely sink to the locker where Davey Jones dove.

But disdaining harm, I’m scraping me barnacle, hoping to “up“ the main-mast,

’Cause this must end, I’ll tell you friend, belowdecks is no place for a lass!

So in the hills of Marin County in California is situated the Skywalker Ranch. This is the posh, private enclave of George Lucas, father of Star Wars. It's nestled amongst redwoods and sits a short drive across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. The forests surrounding it apparently inspired Endor, while the giant cranes across the bay in Oakland inspired the AT-AT walkers.

The ranch holds the Lucasfilm Library, a compendium of data and research spanning years of cinema that loving librarians keep on hand for check out only by permitted Lucas Film employees researching for movies or other projects.

What I have heard, living near this area and knowing vicariously some of the staff thanks to hanging about nerdy comic shop circles, is that apparently every. single. book. that is officially licensed gets checked to make sure it passes canon and stays congruent to already established story lines. Now, whether this is true or not - considering how much source material is involved - I can't say, but supposedly this is how the sacred system worked for all the years up to the Disney buyout.

Now of course we expect the mouse to screw it all up, but to the extent the canon has been fundamentally altered I doubt it very much. Disney seems more keen on movies / series / merchandise than book sales, although Star Wars comic books still dominate the shelves as well. That said, it's troubling that they've already fallen behind paying royalties to some Star Wars authors including Alan Dean Foster, a science fiction legend who refused to sign an NDA and called them out on their bad behavior.

We know big corporations ruin things, and yet they persist as inevitably as death or taxes. Mayhaps though, some kind librarians can still save the day - assuming Lucasfilm under the new Mickey ears' keeps them employed.

Basically a zombie flic. The virus only attacks people who wear suits. Maybe something abt the fabric... So politicians, almost anyone working in an office.. Everyone else struggle to survive, but also struggle to live in a world withought most of those doing white color/office jobs.

Maybe the film can startvoff on the set of a james bond film, where the new bond starts to turn zombie. Then the execs...admin people, lawyers, sales...oh god...what have we done...but anyone with a T shirt is not infected. Years of inequality, come to play. Also people doing casual tuesday.

No one listens to the slobs, who are free from this. The suited zombies may only turn on each other. Oh, and the big military guys, they get it too. Have to..
