The Mind Reels

by Steven Kent

“Ryan Reynolds has pitched an ‘R-rated’ Star Wars. What would that look like?”
The Guardian

Imagine Leia giving in
To Jabba: gross, unclean!
Where does he end and she begin?
(He’s fat as Tatooine.)

For such a scene there’s no excuse;
Her Alderaan identity
Demands that Disney not produce
This Hutterite obscenity.
