    What are you all doing this week?

    I should have been on my flight to LA right now, instead I'm working overtime, and it looks like it's going to continue like that for the two coming weeks.

    Right now I'm weathering a thunderstorm. It's monsoonng hard enough to wipe out my satellite TV signal. Needless to say the PC is unplugged due to the lightning. Been doing that for about 20 mins though the rain is starting to ease now..

    My TV is back! Just in time to see that the London area is supposed to get rain and wind tomorrow. Forecast is for gusts as high as 50 MPH in my area.

    I've been on a Rebels binge watch, so I'll be continuing with that this week. Planning to do season 2 this week. Plus I'll be posting here a lot for trivia and whatever else is going on.

    I should be arriving my hotel in London now for my flight tomorrow morning. Still got the time off work so just having a relaxing week. Probably going to continue my Rebels rewatch. Nearly finished season 2 so I'll probably rewatch the season 3 panel this week and relive some 2016 memories.

    Why did I say Rebels? I meant Clone Wars. I'm on a Clone Wars binge.

    Working all week but I'm glad you all are doing the virtual celebration on the forum, takes away a little of the sadness of not going.
    Wondering how the trivial thing works, are bystanders allowed?

    Not doing anything special, really, but it's fun to think of the virtual celebration.

    A few days ago, my sisters and I looked at the bonus features DVD for The Rise of Skywalker. We watched the first 30 minutes of "The Skywalker Legacy" Documentary. We couldn't finish it since our parents came home.
    Its 2 hours total!! I hope we get to watch the rest of it. Its so cool! It had old interviews from the original trilogy and so many other cool things! They were filming the documentary when they were doing TROS!! :)
    You guys should watch the documentary! But remember to have plenty of time on your hands since its long as a movie!

    That is a really good doc that I also highly recommend.

    It's available under "Extras" for TROS on Disney+.

    I woke up at 6 am to find that a friend had an improvised "let's pretend we are at a Celebration hotel lobby" zoom meeting. I could only be there for a while, I'm leaving at 6:45 for a thing, but nice talking to SWC friends, even if I was running around in the kitchen and mostly having it on in the background.

    That sounds like a really good idea @Obi Anne. We're meeting up with the friends we would have gone to SWC with tomorrow for a socially distance drink.

    I was going through my rock collection yesterday(I collect and polish rocks) and it seemed like a wiff of Cele. flowed over me as I was standing by a window! I let out a sigh and went, "ahhh'. the Force was with me.

    Last day of Virtual Celebration!! Sniff. :_|
    Thank you for organizing =D=
    The week was indeed very different than going to Celebration. And tomorrow I would have gone to Disneyland, which is not even open yet!
