Any true Star Wars fan will appreciate this reenactment featuring paper-made characters by Eric Powers. Jeremy Messersmith's song "Tatooine" is a fitting score for this brief version of the legendary tale. At about 2 and 1/2 minutes, it's cohesion with the film in pace and feel are admirable.

I couldn't help but think, this is multi-modal literary construction in the "flesh." I can imagine this as half of a presentation, the other half being the written component that explains and connects the Star Wars story to the presentation. The film garners its full credit in my assessment; I appreciate and applaud the ingenuity of paper repurposed as physical objects, music that bleeds emotion, succinct lyrics that wrench multiple meanings from metaphor. My favorite moment: "Solos are fine but duets are romantic." Watch it and enjoy the wit of this line for yourself.

A blog that pursues the heart of the matter. Currently, the matter is literacy. My love of words and knowledge and my desire to help others will come together here in an amalgamation of thoughts, ideas, and resources that touch upon or generate from the notion of being a literate participant in society.
