Star Wars and Mardi Gras

Here’s Pt. 2 showing all the amazing things I caught at the New Orleans sci-fi parade

I really loved this about the parade, it was VERY Leia centric

More of the Star Wars stuff….

MY MOST FAVORITE!

They really like stickers, so many stickers

Holy water from the Supernatural crew and a wand from the Harry Potter’s

This cracks me up

All the other stuff, look at that puzzle!!


It was seriously a great time, every Star Wars fan should go to this parade!

The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbaccus Pt. 1

I’m in New Orleans for some of Mardi Gras this year. The first parade of the season was last night and I think y’all would love it. It’s dedicated to all things Sci-Fi and fantasy but primarily focuses on Star Wars.

They have a theme every year, here’s 2019

Here’s a few pics of the characters and decorations from the parade:

And some of the non-Star Wars

But the ABSOLUTE best:

If you ever go to Mardi Gras you should check this parade out!

I’ll do a part two with the amazing throws they were giving out, y’all will love them!

I’ve been thinking about this moment a lot lately….

The heartbreak on Rey’s face is devastating. A single second or two of film but you can feel the lifetime of hope and grief and longing that has defined Rey. In one tiny instance you see what Rey knows she is losing and her fear of what’s to come next.

And yet, there is no rage or hatred in her expression. She hurts for Ben. Again, she shows compassion that could only spring from an often disregarded depth of strength that few possess. It’s so incredibly powerful.

She recognizes the potential of the moment as well. She slowly raises her hand, perhaps to slow time before they together decide the path that is to come. It’s as if there is a moment in which she believes she can simply will Ben to be the person she needs, but all the while understands that he isn’t. In some ways, I think it’s a beautiful mirror to the moment where Luke stood over Ben as he slept.

I think part of what has drawn me into this story so fully are these types of moments. In just a second, you really feel the tension of knowing how much is balanced on the thinnest edge, in just that single moment before reality falls to one path or another.

There have been so many moments like that throughout this storyline. That kind of story telling engages the viewer so much more deeply, to be able to see those “if only” moments and to comprehend their consequences so much more fully. It creates a sense of ownership in the viewer, that burden of knowing the pain and loss that might have been spared but for the difference of a single second.

I had been convinced we were going to get a title announcement at the very least during the Super Bowl. We figured out a few days ago that that wasn’t going to happen.

The got me thinking, when would they do it? It seems pretty obvious the trailer will probably be released at the Star Wars Celebration in April but that’s SO FAR AWAY.

I really think they’ll do the title announcement before but something like that usually coincides with some other major event.

Seems like Valentine’s Day is the only “major event” or holiday between now and April?

At first I was like, “That would be weird.” but then I thought, “What if it was released on VALENTINE’S DAY.”

Be still my reylo loving heart…..

Does anyone else get a racing pulse when you think about how the title reveal for Episode IX might happen ANY DAY NOW.
