Most of us are definitely of the age to appreciate the Bankers match report in Star Wars style. It set me thinking, OK to have all these heroes, Yoda, Obi Wan, Skywalker , Solo etc , but what about the brains behind the outfit?
In reading Wookiepedia about the Star Wars, I was reminded of that classical strategic genius, Admiral Akbar who was the Supreme Commander of the Alliance Fleet. Our Relics version is surely Pete and when I read that Akbar was a Mon Calamari ,who as a people are described : "they were known for a near-legendary quality of being both determined as well as dedicated. This meant that once a Mon Calamari decided on a course of action, they were not easily swayed from that decision. As such, they had a great deal of enthusiasm and spirit which was often masked by their quiet, orderly exterior. " Pete to a T !
Then when I saw the picture I knew Pete was Mon Calamarian!!
I'm sure you meant this as a compliment, hey Capt.
ReplyDeleteOf course its a compliment. Besides the many positive qualities that Pete shares with those listed, as seen as I saw the photo I knew for sure. I've seen Pete on his back verandah wearing a suit just like that!! (LOL)
ReplyDeleteAkbar is better looking!

My species ( Yes Akbar is better looking ) can stare at you with their right eye and it can mean a challenge to fight or an expression of love, no wonder Clighal ( Lorraine) is confused.
