「帝國進行曲(The Imperial March)」的音樂揚起,遠遠的兩艘太空船自上方飛馳而過,這是「星際大戰」完結篇「星際大戰三部曲:西斯大帝的復仇」的演出嗎?喔,不,怎麼有一個長相像人的黃瓜出現呢?呵呵,沒錯,這不是正版的「星際大戰」,而是一齣仿「星際大戰---絕地大反攻」故事情節改編的「星際大戰超市篇—有機食品之絕地大反攻(Store
Wars: The Organic Rebellion)」,裡面的角色,是超市中我們常看到的食品改扮的,而故事情節則是一場有機農產品與化學肥料生產的農產品之戰。
看過「駭客任務—素食篇」的朋友,對Free
Range Graphics以擬人化的動畫方式仿「駭客任務」的演出風格來講述現代化農場中各類家禽與豬牛等受到不仁道對待方式一定印象深刻,這部名為「星際大戰超市篇∼有機食品之絕地大反攻(Store
Wars: The Organic Rebellion)」同樣也是由Free Range
Graphics製作,不同的是,這齣短片是仿「星際大戰」的故事情節並以電影的形式呈現。
當然「星際大戰」中一定有的角色,像代表正義一方的絕地武士、天行者、莉亞公主、機器人與代表黑暗一方的黑武士,甚至太空戰艦,在這齣「超市版」的「星際大戰」中都能看到,而且裝扮是維妙維肖,絕不輸真實版的「星際大戰」。以下,先讓我們來看看這齣戲中的角色裝扮模樣。
天行者路克---由小黃瓜扮裝而成。
絕地武士歐比王(Obi-Wan) ---由甜酥卷(cannoli)扮裝而成。
莉亞公主---由萵苣扮裝而成,頭髮部分則是由甜甜圈裝飾而成。
黑武士 Lord Tader---由馬鈴薯扮裝而成。
機器人C3---由花生罐扮裝而成。
機器人D2---由豆腐扮裝而成。
這齣「超市版」的「星際大戰」中的角色裝扮雖然很逗趣,但故事的訴求卻深具意義。
對現代人說,大型超市裡從一般日用品到蔬菜水果應有盡有,提供現代人許多便利與多樣的選擇,然而在這些產品中卻隱藏許多對健康與環境污染的問題,以這齣五分鐘的短片所訴求的目標而言,非有機食品通常仰賴大量的化學肥料、農藥、生長調節劑、殺草劑、殺菌劑、生長荷爾蒙和抗生素等,這些有害成份一旦未做適當的處理與清潔,吃進身體裡面,往往是引發氣喘甚至癌症的因素之一,甚至破壞整個生態環境,一些研究也顯示有機橘子中的維他命C含量比非有機橘子高出30%,有機蔬果在口味上也比非有機蔬果甘甜。當然有機產品的生產成本平均比傳統農產品要高出許多,然而相對的卻減少許多醫療上的花費,因此您是選擇比較貴的有機農產品呢?還是傳統的非有機農產品呢?最後可能要您自己做智慧的選擇了。

"Not so long ago in a supermarket not
so far away..."
Obi-Wan
Canoli VO: These are dark times,
young Cuke.
Obi: For over a thousand
generations, organic food like us lived
in harmony with the ways of The Farm.
Cuke: The Farm?
Obi: Yes Cuke, The Farm
is what gives us our power. It's a kind
of "field" that creates all edible
things. But, alas, the market has been taken
over by ... the Dark Side of the Farm.
An empire of pollution and pesticides has
ruthlessly conquered the market, nearly
wiping out our organic birthright with unsustainable,
short-sighted practices like genetic engineering
... irradiation ... and massive chemical
pesticide use. Seduced by artificially lower
prices, people don’t even want to know where
their food comes from. The true ways of
The Farm are now almost forgotten.
Obi VO: But there is a
new hope.
Obi VO: A growing resistance
called the Organic Rebellion is fighting
back.
C3-Peanut: Tofu-D2 where
are you?
Obi VO: You must learn
the ways of the Farm if you are to join
the rebellion, and rescue Princess Lettuce.
Princess Lettuce: Help
me, Obi-Wan Canoli, you're my only hope!
Obi VO: Of course, you
will need friends to help you along the
way.
Ham : I’m Ham Solo. Captain
of the Millennium Scallion. I hear your
lookin' for passage to the Organic system?
Obi: Yes indeed, if it's
a fast ship.
Ham: Sure is, and I’ve
got the best co-pilot in the produce section,
Chewbroccoli!
Obi VO: There will be
many dangers.
Cuke: Watch out for those
Thai fighters!
Ham: I see em, I see em!
Cuke: Quick! They're heading
for that small moon!
Obi: That's no moon ...
that's a Melon!
All: The Death Melon!!!
Obi: That giant fruit threatens
us all.
Lettuce: A little tall
for an egg, aren't you?
Cuke : Oh, the uniform!
I'm Cuke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you!
I''m here with Obi Wan Canoli . Come on!
Princess Lettuce: For luck.
Obi VO: Your path will
not be easy…
Obi VO: …for you must confront
the evil lord of the Dark Side – Darth Tader
Obi VO: Tader was once
a pupil of mine, before he turned to Dark
Side of the Farm. He's now more chemical
than vegetable, twisted and evil. He betrayed
and murdered your father, Organakin Skywalker.
Cuke: Ahhhh!!!
Tater: Obi Wan never told
you about your father.
Cuke: He told me enough
... he told me you killed him!
Tater: No ... I am your
father.
Cuke: That's really impossible!
Tater: Search your peelings,
Cuke, you know it to be true! Join me, and
together we can rule the supermarket as
father and son!
Cuke: Noooo, I'll never
join you!
Obi VO: Learn about the
Farm Cuke, help the Rebels expose the Dark
Side’s technological short cuts and their
true costs. We must win this battle!
Obi VO: Use the Farm Cuke!
Stretch out with your peelings!
Obi: It is up to you,
Cuke. You're the rebels last hope. Isn't
that right, Yogurt?
Yogurt: Strong with The
Farm is he. But our last hope, Cuke is not.
There is another ... [Yogurt points his
cane at the screen] ... you!
Yogurt: When the market
you visit, you can keep your family and
your planet safe from the Dark Side by choosing
organic.
All: May the Farm Be With
You -- Always!
THE
END
