Happy Star Wars Day! Here's a weird tidbit for the occasion: MrsBlue actually
knows significant spoilers for Episode VII, as she is working on children's book
adaptations for the series. Naturally she's under a strict NDA, but this is not
an issue, because I am notorious among friends and family for hating spoilers,
so I am more worried about her letting something slip than she is.
May the Fourth be with you. Alwayth.
