    I was able to get the majority of my Photo Ops done on Thursday for Chicago, so having that extra day just be basically a non panel day really helped.

    I've just realized that since I didn't go to the US this year I'm running low on food colouring, and now it's time for Christmas baking. I usually stock up when I'm in the US since it's so much cheaper, and better, than the brands I can find in my regular supermarkets.

    Wow really? Is there a particular reason it is so different in price and ours work better?

    The good brand that I like to use is American, so I guess with all the import fees the prices go way up before they reach my supermarket, or rather the speciality shops. In the supermarket there is basically just one brand to chose from and it's really weak and also limited to just red and green.When I grew up there was another brand that was the standard brand, and it was much stronger than the current one.

    Amazon UK lists some. Not sure if any are as good as the brands you normally use.

    You know how in the US there are areas specific to a certain ethnicity, like China Town and Little Ethiopa, maybe there's a Little America somewhere you can go to get all your US based products. And while you're there, don't forget to try some authentic American cuisine like the Big Mac, and maybe even purchase your own high powered assault rifle for the true American experience. It'll make for a fun holiday excursion!

    There used to be an All-American shop in Old Town in Stockholm. I can get hold of good food colouring here, it's just a lot cheaper in the US and that is why I stock up when I'm over.

    Got my shipping notification for the ST pin and 2020 lanyard today. Something to remind me that the next Celebration is only...a year and...nine months away...

    And Luke thought waiting one more season to go to the academy was bad.

    My email shipping notification stated that my order has shipped. I ordered the online exclusive preorder t-shirt and the email states that it is a "Droids" t-shirt. I checked for any images online and this appears to be it. Not an image that I would choose for a shirt purchase unfortunately

    I see both sides of this. It sucks that people are being laid off, but unfortunately, Disney is still a business. And they cannot continue to keep all employess on payroll qhile money is not coming in..

    It's too bad that tribute panels are going to be a steady part of Celebration from now on.

    The way Lucas Film treated him I would be shocked if there was a giant fan fare.

    I think they did a good job recognizing his impact on the franchise today. George's quote was nice.

    Well, this is massive news. It will be interesting to see if Disney follows. Streaming definitely seems to be the future and I think that's especially true with Star Wars.

    If they do end up doing spinoff shows like Boba, Ahsoka and, we can only hope, The Frog Lady Chronicles on top of Mando, Kenobi and Cassian plus The Bad Batch then Celebration could shape up to be pretty epic!

    I wonder when we'll start hearing about conventions and other events scheduled for early next year.
