Nomad, this is a most engaging string and your opener is a wow!mega quote warning. Just picture that this is that scrolling written word narration on the opening scene of All Star Wars movies. Imagine John Williams music playing while you are reading it haha. Interesting tidbit, the Star Wars intro text is called an ‘opening crawl'.
love scarves out in the wild. Lovely gifts for your mom. Looking wonderful
I love your style Awillow. And you gave me inspo for my light pink moussie. Looks amazing on you! And I’m jealous you can do bold reds.
ahhhh the serenity of FT. Love it with that top. And such a beautiful graphic in galaxy.
amazing colors in libre. And voie is a special scarf, congrats
both such bold graphics and colors. You can do them justice!
love this! This blue on is on my wishlist. Wonderful with that top color
all of this absolutely amazing! You had me at baby yoda pic. And also had me with you Canadian. An absolute fav of mine. Great inspo with the dark green top. Same goes for pulling the plum out of esprit
perfect examples. Twins on derby. A fav of mine for sure
all wonderful looks. Love your astrologie gav I think it is. Same Cosmo as cedarwax above wearing with a mustard top I think. It is my top wishlist cw. It has such beautiful blues. And beautiful brooch
amazing you found this pink sunset pic from the movie. Wow, perfect tie in to your derby. And seeing your derby makes me question why the heck I didn’t get this colorway too. gorgeous
haha. Such great graphics in this design
Wow! Such a variety of star wars connections. Clever!! I absolutely love your color there on fleurs. So unique. I think I have said that before actually. And the last pic w your necklace too is perfection.
I was so taken by your post I may have forgotten to coment on your beautiful Esprit de la Foret @Redbirdhermes! Gorgeous cw...(not to mention CdL (twins) and Cosmographia too!)
@Maedi!
These are beautiful @Awillow and I think any moussie would be on theme because they are so ethereal...
Thank you @Lellabelle, @bunnycat and @Redbirdhermes for the Galaxy love!
Just gorgeous @Snausages! My Galaxy loves your Galaxy! All are beautiful but Shackleton...sigh...
OMG-- both beautiful @orchard but that La Voie Lactee in pink is TDF...
Two beautiful and colorful examples @Pirula.
This could not be cuter or more perfect @Awillow. Just right for the theme and I love it in red.
What a fantastic outfit @CedarWaxWing -- just love your sweater and slacks combo tied so beautifully together with Cosmographia. Perfect!
Beautiful -- love this on the dark green sweater @Redbirdhermes and your detailed and fabulous illustrated posts are just a total delight!
Looking fabulous-- out of this world, in fact! Happy to be twins and sisters on these @hotgalaxy!
Beautiful examples and beautifully styled as usual @Karenska!!
So different in the darker cw @Awillow-- love the combination.
How beautiful in pink @Iflola!
Great @Teaforparrots-- and who says a computer isn't its own kind of faraway planet?
Just wanted to say I was on the fence about this scarf, but I saw this and ultimately decided I loved it! I wore it today and it's so gorgeous! Consider yourself an influencer
Thank you, Awillow, LKBNOLA, Magjes, Snausages and Fixxi! Fixxi, enjoy your scarf!
Love this design, especially the red one, Awillow!
I am enjoying this week so far, RBH, despite being someone never have watched Star Wars. Perhaps I should remedy this - and your explanations provide some scarf possibilities even for me.
Oh yes, I see this is perfect!
Such a cute alien, and your CdL is gorgeous!
Another beautiful CdL - and a cute plisse!
Lovely soft colours!
Ah wow, this is perfect!
So beautiful, Cookie, and you are visibly enjoying your new acquisition!
Huge congratulations on this beauty, Cookie!
Horses are integral to Hermes, and to many of their scarf designs to this day. Many alien beasts in Star Wars are ones that are either ridden, or used as pack animals similar to horses. I thought I would focus today's discussion on these particular alien beasts in Star Wars. Note the interesting tack being used on the various alien animals. Feel free to wear your scarves showing animals being ridden, or those with horse tack, which has been adapted here for riding these aliens.
The first Star Wars movie came out in 1977 (and was renamed to A New Hope on rerelease in 1981) and featured a Bantha, which was ridden by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. Wookiepedia tells us that the Banthas were portrayed by a female Asian elephant named Mardji, who was provided by the Marine World Africa USA amusement park. The lower photo is of a Bantha being ridden by Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett live action television streaming series earlier this year.
Here is a Tauntaun being ridden by Luke Skywalker on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. A tauntaun's thick skin helped them to survive the icy conditions on Hoth, where temperatures at night could reach -60C.
Fathier racing on Canto Bight was used for gambling in the casinos. Fathiers could run up to 75 kilometers per hour across various terrains. They were tall animals and stood 3 meters high at the shoulder. They were seen in The Last Jedi.
A Blurrg, from Arvala 7, is here being ridden by the Ugnaught Kuill on The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian himself was frustrated trying to break a young Blurrg for riding. The process was similar to breaking a horse.
Orbaks are native to the planet Pasaana, and are shown here from The Rise of Skywalker. When riding an Orbak, a rider could steer them by directing their tusks, while a separate beast collar kept the saddle in place and allowed the rider to maintain control should the reins break free. I read an interview with actress Naomi Ackie (right in the photo below) who took months of horse-riding and archery lessons in order to be able to shoot arrows while riding without holding the reins.
This is a very cool photo of riding the Orbaks during an attack by the Resistance in a ground assault atop the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Steadfast, the flagship of First Order Allegiant General Enric Pryde in The Rise of Skywalker. When the movie was first released these creatures were immediately dubbed to be space horses. This definitely reminds me of Space Derby.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is here riding a varactyl in full stride in Attack of the Clones. These animals were strong enough to navigate the often vertical landscapes of Utapau. This huge saddle makes me wonder if it was meant for a much larger rider than Obi-Wan.
Here is Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine leading an Eopie. This is a screen grab from a trailer for the new Kenobi series coming out in late May. The Eopie looks almost like a camel, and is well adapted to the harsh environment which makes them very useful for carrying luggage or people across the desert. Compared to the Banthas ridden by the Tusken raiders, Eopies are far less likely to grab the attention of onlookers, which makes them a good choice for a Jedi in hiding.
My scarf today is Acte III, Scene I with its theater stage containing a forest reminiscent of Endor, Bottom whose head has been transformed into a donkey making him alien indeed, and the moon shining above.
