Playing Whack-a-Mynock

Understanding I’d be visited around Thanksgiving rather than going visiting myself, I got started on my once-a-year viewing of my Star Wars Blu-Ray set a bit earlier than usual. When I watch them might still be a relic of what month the Revenge of the Sith DVD went on sale in; I’m at least daydreaming now about “summer movies.” So far as “you always find the time to watch those movies, but for all the other weekends in a year you’re frittering time away...” went, I had at least managed to watch The Searchers for the first time a few weekends before, conscious among other things of how it’s been invoked in Star Wars more than once. Thinking back months rather than weeks to how I’d been able to see Return of the Jedi at the movies, I’d decided to “not get clever” and just go through the set in numerical order, reprising a closed gap of more than a decade in just those few months.
( But perhaps I am being clever... )
