May the Fourth Be With You!

I was six years old.

I was at my grandmas house, and there was a movie playing on the TV that was really confusing me. Everything on screen was desaturated and a little dingy, from the swamp where the scene was taking place to the man on wearing cargo pants and a tank top. At first I ignored it, because the dialogue and the music were all serious and “adult” sounding, and there wasn’t anything exciting happening. But after the man fished a beeping little robot out of the mud, ate lunch lunch with a muppet and lifted up a space ship with magic, I knew something was up…

It was weird.
