 | day 30: the star wars and sound of music connection |
Sound of Music, 1965:
CAPTAIN vonTRAPP: Were you this much trouble at the Abbey?
MARIA: Oh, much more, sir.
Star Wars Episode IV, 1977:
LUKE: You know, that little droid’s going to cause me a lot of trouble.
C-3PO: Oh, he excels at that, sir.
I’m not suggesting that Lucas was inspired by Rodgers and Hammerstein, I’m just pointing out the obvious similarities in the characterization of Maria and R2D2. I mean, he’s pretty much a governess squashed into a droid suit. With less folk guitar. And less, uh, governessing. Pretty much.
you have a lot of time on your hands to think.
which is good, because you are right about this.
Pretty much.
I can tell this is day thirty with the odd star wars/SOM references.
Huzzah!
I think the proper title for this post is “day 30: the lack of sleep.”
