I'm glad that Isaac didn't hit Orlando too hard, and that you had such great time. :D

Hit just hard enough to be annoying, but at least not debilitating. ;) Thanks!

e kept firing at me, at which point the little girl got mad and said "Stop shooting her, she's my favorite!" :)

D'awwwwwwwwww. My heart flipped when I read this part. SO CUTE.

And I'm happy you had an amazing time!! (Work meetings for the fail, though.)

The little kids' reactions are definitely the best part of wearing a costume. I still remember the little boy at Celebration V staring up in awe at me in my Padmé costume. :)

What a crazy trip! I met LoveLucas briefly at CV.

I wish you could have made it! Just wasn't the same not having you at the prequel panel.

Thanks again for the report; I suppose I was most interested in hearing about the "Why We Love the Prequels" panel, even if it was scheduled for the last and slowest day of the convention... Some of the points you reported were ones I've heard before, such as the old version of the "office duel" still being detectable if you look for it (although I suppose I'm glad it was rethought for the reshoots...) and the Jedi having a literal ivory tower. At the same time, while I've also heard "the Sith are truthful but the Jedi stretch things," I suppose I've sort of personally preferred the interpretation that some of Palpatine's promises to Anakin are just a matter of saying things that sound good... It was interesting to hear "viewing order" crop up. I can take it either way, I suppose, but I may have been just a little too young for "the Big Reveal" to have reshaped thoughts already formed; for me, wondering about continuing to start with Star Wars itself is more a matter of wondering if the Force needs to be introduced via exposition

I look at the Sith and the truth like this: there's no better way than to disguise/stretch a lie than by wrapping it in the truth. Look at the opera scene from ROTS (which was referenced at several panels during the con as an example of storytelling/acting brilliance) - Anakin's getting exactly what he wants to hear, that there's a way to save Padmé. Yet how many of us have any doubt that Palpatine was the one who offed Plagueis? Then of course you have Dooku telling Obi-Wan about the Sith controlling the Republic, and the Vader/Luke confrontation in ESB

We hit the Celebration Store one more time, where Chickadilly caved and bought a cute Katie Cook Star Wars alphabet poster, a Leia tee for her mom, and the Pan Am-inspired bagI LOST my Katie Cook alphabet poster in the Orlando airport

Oh NO! :(

I wish I could have come too (especially since that meeting wound up so f*cking SHORT).
