Why Easter Eggs are Colored
By Ashlei Fillmore
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….there was no such thing as Easter. That was a sad time. No people would get candy for free. They would have to buy it at Dollar Tree. It was always like this until Luke Skywalker was born.
Luke Skywalker was pretty much like the Easter bunny we have now. Except not. He was human, sort of. He was born in a different galaxy so he is kind of an alien. Well, the story must go on. When Luke lived with his aunt and uncle, he would run off looking for free candy. He LOVED candy. His aunt would sometimes give him candy so after a while, he became an addict to it. Everyone would get some sometimes from their family members, but not as much as Luke. He and his friends would save lots of candy to eat. After they ate it, they would have a HUGE sugar rush. One time they ran 5 miles and back to get rid of all the sugar. Then they all had sugar crash and they slept for 5 hours. That’s an intro on Luke. And his friends.
So Luke one time was having a fight with his dad, Darth Vader, if you don’t know. It wasn’t like a normal war with light sabers and stuff, it was like a verbal fight. They were fighting about candy and what to do with it. Of course. Luke thought it would be cool to be able to have tons of candy on one day of the year and not have to get anymore for the year. Then he told his dad Darth Vader. Vader thought he should take the idea so everyone will like him and he will be allowed to do whatever he wants. But Luke knew that so he told him he would give Vader some of the credit. This was the conversation they had.
Luke: “okay, look. I had this cool idea where I give lots of candy to everyone. Even if they don’t like candy. Well, nah. If they don’t like candy, they don’t like candy. Sad day. Maybe other treats too.” Vader: “okay. Ummmm….. Where do we put them?” “I don’t know. Sorry.” “We should put them in something small and fit a lot in it so it seems like it’s not much but it’s a ton of candy.” “Yeah we should totally do that. But what to put it in?” “Hey you, storm trooper over there, could you get me some scrambled eggs?” “That’s it! Eggs! :) We could totally do that!!”
That was their exact conversation. After they thought of that together, they started to fight what they should look like. Luke wanted them colorful so kids could find them easier. Vader wanted them black and red so it would be harder for kids to find them plus they would be his favorite colors. That was when they had the whole thing where Luke gets electrified by the Emperor, and Vader dies. It was pretty sad but Luke made colorful eggs so now we have Easter with colorful eggs. Which is held by the Easter bunny, not Luke by the way. He should get more credit. But anyway, this is why Easter eggs are colored and stuff.
