Perek 4 is Star Wars fanfic batyatoon, gnomi, lannamichaels. Written for Purim in 2021, the fic is one of dozens of Jewish fanfics written by these three authors seperately or working together. Perek 4 is a reinterpretation of the opening text crawl of the 1977 movie in the style of Mikraos Gedelos.

The title is a reference to the movie's later renaming to Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope -- "perek"] means "chapter" or "episode" in Hebrew.

And lo, you lot have discovered the gift of Endings, those which are not safe for one's soda, or one's tea, or one's wine by which one gets roaring drunk at Purim. Blessed are you, for laughter truly is the best medicine.

(I'm not usually this purple when giving praise, or prose, but it's kinda the spirit of the day, ne-c'est-pas?)

Fantastic! I love translations and explorations of Star Wars mythmaking into other traditions.

This made me laugh, and this also made me cry. Ha'mavin yavin.
Fics like this are why I love fandom, why I love fanfiction. The names are hilarious, I can't wait to come back and see what I pick up on next time.

Excellent! Ha'mavin Yavin was my favorite. I also enjoyed the Chayei Leia quietly wanking about whether Episode 9 is Canon.
