Episode II: The Empire Dress Strikes Back

Episode II
The Empire Dress Strikes Back


It is a dark time for
Hoppo Bumpo. Although the
Death Star has been destroyed

and the Folkwear pattern redrafted,
the dreaded dress fitting on
the remote ice world of Hoth
did not go as well as expected.

Rebel forces made the neckline
too low and the bodice too shallow.
Evading the dreaded Imperial
Starfleet, a group of freedom
fighters led by Fluke Fast-talker
has established a new secret
mission to redraw the pattern pieces.

Meanwhile the evil lord Darth Vader,
is finishing some invisible mending
on his cape after a bit of an incident
in the far reaches of space...

  1. Sounds like a mission where help is needed. Maybe it's time to recruit Argy Skywalker or Bargy Solo. No. That wont work. It will only lead to more trouble (albeit great blog posts...). Maybe this is a mission for one. Good Luck and may the force be with you Hoppo...

  7. May the Force be with you. Hopefully you won't need to replace a hand at the end of all this.
