Return of the Snacki: Kozmo the Hutt Takes the Throne
Cast:Kozmo the Hutt — ruler of the living room, master of naps
Marv Solo — smuggler of snacks, hero of the rebellion
Nutmegbacca — loyal, fuzzy, slightly confused but enthusiastic
Princess Jo Jo Laya — fierce, dramatic, and always ready to rescue (or cause) chaos
Opening Scene: The Throne Room (aka the Sofa in the Living Room)
Kozmo has claimed the sofa. Not just one corner — the whole sofa. He hasn’t merely claimed it… he has sprawled, melted, and oozed into it like a true Hutt.
“This is mine! All mine! Bwa!! Haa!! Haaa!!!”

| Kozmo the Hutt |
I, Marv Solo, swagger through the front door. I am hungry. But then I see him… Kozmo the Hutt.
I flick my tail.
I flick my tail.
Kozmo growls.
But the treats are on the other side of Kozmo. I sit and wrap my tail around my toes. Kozmo the Hutt has blocked the only safe passage.
Act I: Negotiations Begin
Kozmo stares at me, growls again, and flicks his whiskers.

| The Hero - Marv Solo |
I, Marv Solo, offer him tribute:
Kozmo the Hutt wants — no, demands - more. Always more.
Should I offer my blanket?
Just then, the hairy slobbery beast Nutmegbacca bounds into the room! She wiggles! She giggles! She wags her tail, wanting to help! But her wagging tail knocks over a pillow, and when she grabs it to move it off Kozmo, she gets slobber all over his fur.
- one (1) chin scritch
- two (2) polite meows
- three (3) crunchy treats

Kozmo Growled! He is incensed! A black arm lashes out and barely misses Nutmegbacca’s nose.
She yelps.
At that moment - Princess Jo Jo Laya burst through the door (with a mouse in her mouth)!
She dramatically lept over me, and landed on the back of the sofa! She opened her mouth to declare I, Jo Jo Laya will free the galaxy from Kozmo’s tyranny…
…and the mouse dropped right in front of Kozmo. He thought it was a tribute to his glory and began gnawing on it.
Jo Jo Laya sat down, lifted her leg, and began grooming her tail - like this was all part of the plan.

Act II: The Great Standoff
I, Marv Solo, am starving.Kozmo is munching on the mouse Jo Jo Laya dropped.
This is the purrfect time for a daring maneuver!
I shall sneak past Kozmo the Hutt using the ancient Jedi technique known as “cat walking behind the sofa quietly.”
It fails...

instantly.
Kozmo stops gnawing and glares at me.
The room freezes.
Nutmegbacca whines.
Jo Jo Laya hissed! (at me).
I don’t DARE to move. I don’t DARE to breathe.

Act III: Victory Through Napping
Then, just when all hope seems lost…Kozmo the Hutt fell asleep (mid‑glare).
I skitter through the room as fast as my legs will carry me - I am victorious!
Nutmegbacca celebrates with a full‑body wiggle and a leap over the sofa to the bay window.
Jo Jo Laya claims she orchestrated the entire thing.
The galaxy is safe.
The snacks are accessible.
Balance is restored.
“May the Fourth be with you… and may your snacks always be unguarded.”

ReplyDeleteCrikey, you had me holding my breath there for a second or 87! What a tale... all power to you as we traverse Fourth! Hugswagswhiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Absolutely brilliant, and the art, epic - loved it!!! 🐾😻🐾😻🐾
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBFF Jo Jo I knew that you would have to be the one star of the movie. Only us girls can pull off the adventure properly. I was a little scared at first when I started reading about the couch stealing cat! 😳 I do give some credit Marv. Lynn's not really a science fiction movie person so she's only ever seen the very very first one of these many many movies. Too much to keep up on. And I would love to jump over to your house and get ready for the month of June! Plus I hope it's much warmer at your house than it is here. Thanks for the invite.
ReplyDeleteHappy Star Wars Day! I loved your suspenseful story.
ReplyDeleteWe love your story! We're glad all is well but it sure was touch and go!
ReplyDeleteHa! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteHappy Star Wars Day!
Well done. Wow.

ReplyDeleteThat was a fun story. May the 4th be with you! XO
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Marv Solo is certainly a dashing hero! And he flies a ship named after a bird, right?"
ReplyDeleteMarv, you are a true hero and may your ballads be sung by hero-wannabes everywhere!
