Met Matt Stover twenty years ago at Celebration III and told him how much I loved his Caine books and I got to recreate that moment today commemorating the ROTS Anniversary Edition at NYCC.

Look who’s writing it and co-starring! Ahmed Best himself! Comic’s plot derives from Jar Jar investing Palpatine with emergency powers AND with Jar Jar’s role developing the Rebel Alliance 👀

Actually, it’s the orb Elsa is holding here.

I’m not remotely joking

I went inside of course. Appropriate as I was humming the movie soundtrack all through Norway as it is.

ALERT: my eyes were drawn to this random church and it turns out it was the very inspiration for Elsa’s coronation chapel in Frozen

Best day ever

Visited Delphi today — I found it incredibly meaningful. Not only getting to see the Omphalos — the navel of the world — but also visiting the Castalian Spring. I didn’t realize they had a little fountain that let you drink from the actual spring!

This is so magical. I’m floating on clouds.

Athens is like some magical dream land, I can’t believe it took me so long to get here.

It completely boggles my mind that people just WALK RIGHT BY the Antikythera Mechanism without sparing it a glance but that means more time for me to ogle it

Apparently they made a diecast of Mon Mothma’s limo??? I had to have it, so I imported it along with Luthen’s Fondor Haulcraft for good measure.

Alas there is no drunk Perrin mini fig to come with the limo.

Omg I didn’t realize they put up display plaques for the X-wing. So cool.

I couldn’t resist a Thrawn figure that finally had EU-style epaulettes.

(Did I purposely block Pelly’s face with light glare? Who can say.)
