I am having so much fun with my ChatGPT and I don't ask for personal themed images or prompts too much but I had to for today and I'm so in love with what it came up with!
And yes, I'm on the Sith side.
I'd go into my fucked up history with May The Fourth but that now feels like a whole lifetime ago, things that no long and will never again apply. Things that were unfair that have no relevance in my life now or in the last 8 years.
What you ask for will not be too much for someone who cares about you and your happiness.
The last 8 years, May The Fourth has been a holiday in this household. Complete with us dressed in Star Wars merch, my husband makes a whole spread of foods and snacks Star Wars themed and we watch a Star Wars movie.
It started with just me and him in 2016, two states apart and haven't even met yet. He had pizza sent to my apartment and bought me 1, 2, and 3 and made a weekend of it. Because he knew how much I loved Star Wars.
And after moving to Texas from Florida, has made it a point to celebrate it with me. We have yet to spend one of these at Disney World but honestly, I enjoy our personal celebration much better than going to the parks.
This is Winn's second May The Fourth and Tum's sixth one.
And yes she knows Star Wars characters and claims she loves Star Wars. Going to Galaxy's Edge with her was definitely something else. She held my hand through Rise of the Resistance and was telling me "mama don't be scared, the drop isn't that bad." as she screamed louder than I did when it happened. She's the sweetest little ride buddy, for sure. She's so compassionate and tries to make me feel safe. It's so cute.
Thank you Bubba, for making today one of my favorite days of the year. I truly truly appreciate the ways you try to change memories. It couldn't had been easy for you, but you make it look so easy.
I can't wait to see what's on the menu for today!
Do you celebrate May The Fourth?
I'll admit, I wasn't a big fan of Star Wars growing up.
I remember seeing Episode One in theaters back in the 90's because my best friend at the time and her family were all nerds. I didn't understand what was going on or who was who... I was only like 9 or something at the time. But I remember the pod races and that I really liked Jar Jar Binks.
When I started working at Disney in 2011 I had not seen a single Star Wars movie (I barely remembered Episode One at this point) so when the Star Wars Vinylmation collection came out I was a little confused as to why everyone was chasing after it (I worked at D-Street at the time which was the Vinylmation hub) and who the heck was Obi Wan and why was the chaser a ghost of him?!
I obviously knew the main gist of things like who Darth Vader was and who Yoda was and all of this but I didn't know very much else.
A friend of mine ended up buying a case of the Vinylmations chasing after Ghost Obi and he was trading the rest so he gave me a Stormtrooper.
And that.
Began my obsession with Star Wars.
Yesterday Nick and I went to run some errands... though I don't remember --- oh! Hair dye and Sprint lol. It was getting pretty crowded so going to the mall was out of the question (even if Macy's had 300 walk-in kicks and various other stores had 200). We headed over to the movie theater to see if anything was playing --- aka --- if Star Wars was done being sold out.
Speaking of...
Then came home and ended my night with a box of my favorite salted caramels in the world.
Happy graduation to me!
Now to wait a whole year for the next movie.
[ was not anticipating for this to happen today ]
Can we just take a moment to look at how much the price of the movie ticket is?
For someone who's lived on Disney property for the last two years I am amazed.
The theater was kinda half empty the whole time. I guess a lot more people than I thought saw it on opening day.
The movie was amazing. Even though I hadn't watched 1, 2 or 3 beforehand. Or ever really. Which you don't really need to in order to follow what's going on. In fact if you've never watched Star Wars before, period I think you'd be fine jumping into this.
There is a cast of all brand new characters that continue on from where the first Star Wars movies left off. But like I said, you'd still be okay if you've never seen them. They embark on new journey's and they dabble into a bit of the history of Star Wars so they catch you up.
But for those of us who are well aware of the basis of the story, there are A LOT of surprises that made me almost burst into tears. Well one scene did and I felt like such a baby for it cause it was so random lol! There are twists and turns for both new viewers and old which I really liked!
Somewhere during the movie I had one of those fairy tale moments where you realize you'd marry and protect the person you're with. The fact that Nick totally supports my love for Star Wars and StormTroopers, Macarons (a new Macaron place opened up across from the theater), and a bunch of other things is really a sweet gesture. And I guess it shows how many messed up people I've dated if I don't think the nice things he's doing for me is normal. But he's always taking care of me and trying to do things he know will cheer me up.
Also, I feel bad for dissing the new droid and not giving him a chance prior to this movie and also the Troopers (sorry baes). The new droid is actually really freakin adorable he doesn't remind me at all of R2, he stands alone as his own type of droid. And the new Troopers, I didn't even noticed they had Donald Duck heads while watching the movie but omgosh you see SO many of them. I think that's what excited me the most --- ALL THE TROOPERS.
Speaking of...
They had this guy walking around outside the theater with an escort. There was only one of him but I thought it was pretty festive and awesome they had him there. People did the classic Trooper picture pose with him. I never know what pictures to take with the Troopers since I get so dreamy eyed and star struck. They're not into the idea of selfies either.
Then came home and ended my night with a box of my favorite salted caramels in the world.
Happy graduation to me!
Now to wait a whole year for the next movie.
