Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .

It is another movie night. This time X has solicited suggestions from several trustworthy friends.

They all agreed that one series no one can miss is something called Star Wars. X's bootleg copies are the result of several former teammates insisting that the 'pure, original versions' must be seen first, because the others are a travesty.

X still looks a little dubious after that conversation. But she has the DVDs. She's got Thor and Stitch.

They all have their own bowl of popcorn.

And the whole night lies ahead of them.

What could go wrong?

SURELY NOTHING AT ALL.

Thor regards the slowly scrolling text, giving them context for these long-ago events as if the story belongs to a greater saga.

"This is a tale of history?"

So far, all the movies they've watched have been either clearly fiction, or set in Midgard's modern era. (Thor is not totally clear on whether Clint Eastwood's oeuvre is fiction or not. It doesn't seem all that important.) A historical saga is new, and much more familiar.
