Bant Eerin: Sentient Species or Squid?
This week's topic is about Bant Eerin, a talented young Jedi who I am considering training (though I doubt she will accept after this). As I was evaluating her lightsaber skills, I realized Mon Calamari resemble squids. So now the question on everyone's (or at least my) mind is this: Are Mon Cal related and/or squid?
"Nah, I kissed a Mon Cal once, and I've had squid, and they taste totally different," says a young Kit Fisto. "And the squid was better."
"Oh, novas and neutrons, not Bant too! I have no comment." Moans Qui-Gon, my now ex-boyfriend.
"Bant's a smart, intelligent being. No way is she related to a squid," insists Obi-Wan, the Sith. He showed up at my door with a present saying it was Christmas. It was a bomb, I know it.
"Squid can't talk, duh!" Garen Muln says.
"The word calamari in 'Mon Calamari' seems strange, as they seem more closely related to tuna," a Jedi Chef ponders.
"Hey, I'm a Mon Cal! Don't be calling me a squid, you're a human with green and gold eyes, for star's sake, you're a lizard!" Says a Mandalornian in armor that I encountered at a bar.
"Bant's a squid! Squid are delicious," Sighs Reeft
"I expect Bant to receive the same treatment as any other Padawan in the Temple. That means not insulting her species!" Snapped Mace Windu.
"I see this shall require extensive genetic research," A temple archivist whose job I still haven't stolen says.
"You'll thank my squid-like intelligence when I help save the galaxy," Says the always humble Admiral Ackbar. (Save the galaxy? We need saving?!)
"I'm a squid?!" Bant shrieked. "No way. My great great great great (etc, etc,) grandfather was a dolphin. A cute dolphin, who could do tricks like flips and stuff."
Well, there you have it; Bant's a cute dolphin, who can do tricks like flips and stuff. That means that if I become her master, I'll be a dolphin trainer! (My childhood dream) Coming up next week: Qui-Gon: Hippie or heartbroken?
I hope this one was longer…I wanted to make it a little longer than the previous ones. Anyway, please read and review, flames accepted, please include suggestions, lots of smileys, and on a scale of one to ten how funny it was.
