Top Ten Places to Make Out in the Star Wars Galaxy
Today is Star Wars Day. I know, you’re thinking “wasn’t that a few weeks ago?” Yes, but it is Star Wars, we’re allowed to have more than one. Today in 1977 Star Wars was released. To celebrate I’ll let you in on a game a created a few years ago. Well, more of a conversation piece than a game, really. What you do is stare off somewhere in the middle distance, then turn to the person next to you, be it co-worker or significant other and go “hey, if you could make out anywhere in the Star Wars Universe, where would it be?” Points go to creative answers. If they say a Cloud City or Naboo balcony, ridicule them for obviousness. Also, since Star Wars is PG, so are the Make Outs, at least in my head.
10. Jabba’s Palace – Dungeon Tunnels – This one was offered up by my friend “I force choke with my left hand” @ArkhamAsylumDoc. She claims she doesn’t have a thing for Gamorrean guards and wall tentacles, but I still have my suspicions. “It’s the lighting” she says “how it filters through the gratings.” uh huh.
9. Emperor’s Throne in the Death Star – you gotta admit, it’s the best view in the Galaxy, especially when those pretty flashing explosions happen whenever those pesky rebels fall into traps.
8. Darth Vader’s Meditation Chamber – for some reason I imagine if Piett were to catch people making out in the chamber he’d have the EXACT same expression on his face.
7. Millennium Falcon Smuggling Lockers – When the Falcon’s a-rockin’ don’t come inspectin’. Not that you’d be able to find anything, I betcha, even if you searched the ship twice.
6. Ewok Hunting Net – Hey, you’re stuck, you might as well pass the time pleasantly while waiting to be roasted over a fire/worshipped as a jungle god.
5. Wampa Ice Cave – In the words of Geekscape’s own Brian Walton – “Wampa Ice Caves are magical.” I imagine there would be pretty colors, and you’d practically have to make out just to stay warm.
4. Mos Eisley Cantina – Leave the droids at home, grab a booth by the band and enjoy the night (or the middle of the afternoon) life!
3. Millennium Falcon Gun Turret Inside the Space Slug – Sure the space slug seems like danger, but a gently drifting fog, a flock of mynocks flying by, these things set up quite a romantic mood.
2. Dark Side Cave on Dagabah – Brian also contributed to this one when he said “Dark side cave, that’s where the kinky stuff comes out.” What can I say, the man likes his caves.
1. Tantive IV Escape Pod – It’s safe, it’s cozy, but there’s still the hint of danger in the air as you can hear the muffled sounds of rebellion in the background. If the laser fire gets too hot just jettison the escape pod and treat yourselves to a beautiful view.
