So, no surprises, Disney has monetized the hell out of this with a whole slew of new Star Wars min-series coming in the near future. They are sucking the joy out of my childhood. Season 2, well - I can't criticize it - it's clearly aimed at children - young children, under 12's, yet in pursuit of mindless things I sat through it, got "hooked" on the inanity of it all. True to form, at the end of the season they invoke the Gods of Nostalgia, poorly done with bad CGI, but it'll suck in the fans.
Anyways, it's Disney, it's for kids, it's exactly what you'd get if you crowdsourced a script for a Star Wars Fan Film, what amazes me is how many other adults are being sucked in by it.

Meanwhile, a few thrift shop masterpieces found while out and about in the Kootenays...
#1 - Just Why?
You know, it's not the execution (they tried real hard), it's just the "why" of it all. Is it someone they knew? A Travelling Monk?
The paint-by-numbers Yellowstone with a few bears thrown in to make it the artist's "own".
A seriously retarded looking Princess Diana ...
And, finally, this masterpiece from the Nelson Share Store which recalls to me Stormy's talk of "Adams Apple Land"...
Maybe an all male Burlesque troupe that wanted to immortalize their act? I don't know. But again - it does beg the question "Why?". And how could anyone ever be so heartless as to give it up?

Spotted this at Frog Peak Café, an art installation that works like a geocache - take a treasure, leave a treasure...
Hmmm. Another potential repository for Stormy Texas's abundant gifts...

And, while thrifting I come across these gems:
Hmmm. I'm hoping he wasn't an art teacher...
And this:
Which, just look at it...the woman's expression, her elbows, the arms, I should really have bought it...
