I am geeking out over the Rebellion Ceremony. In the background, "Battle of the Heroes" starts to play as the Millennium Falcon comes in to land on the outskirts of Coronet City.
Princess Leia appears, followed by Han and Chewie. She makes her way to the plaza where the gigantic fountain statue of Yoda sits.
Every quarter hour she picks three rebels to bestow the "Champion of Remembrance Day" title on. Very exciting.
She's wearing a purple dress though, that's just not right, she should be in white!
As she leaves the plaza, there are flyovers and fireworks. One player followed her all the way to the Falcon saying, "Wait, I love you!"
She didn't say, "I know..."
Wedge Antilles is there, with his X-Wing. Luke Skywalker is the poster boy for the Rebellion.
Over on the Imperial Side, Darth Vader makes a grand entrance in front of Theed Palace. Of course, he's famous for making grand entrances anyway. The huge statue of the Emperor tells me I am NOT eligible for "Champion of Empire Day" recognition. I should hope not! I have my standards.
Imperial music plays, a crowd gathers. Stormtroopers, Red Guards, Galactic Marines line the plaza. The event organizer tells me "move along scum"!
Then "The Imperial March" plays and a shuttle arrives. Vader gets off and comes to the statue. I slap him. And he Force chokes me into incapacitation! ROFL
Back on Corellia, I am finally chosen as "Champion of Remembrance Day" YAY
Well, it's just special event, and I'm loving the atmosphere. WOO HOO!

I love ceremonies. :-) But let it be said I never stand on ceremony.
Just what does that mean anyway???

I'm not sure I understand. So is this something you have made up, or what?
Sorry if I come off as a jerk or an idiot. I took a few too many Star Trek DVDs to the head. And not figuratively. I was physically hit over the head with my own Star Trek DVDs by my Trekkie hatin' pal. Well, pal no more.

No, this is an in-game event in "Star Wars Galaxies" an online role-playing game. I'm just recounting the events because they have so many iconic characters that it brings out my inner geekiness.
Who am I fooling, I'm geeky on the outside.
The picture are screen captures from the actual game.

Star Wars Galaxies does not appeal to me in the slightest, but congrats, I guess...

Luke Skywalker is the poster boy for the Rebellion.
That's enough to sell me on joining Galaxies. Although, I have to admit, I'd gaze at his poster with deep admiration while an Imp kills me. :^O

That must have hurt your hand after hitting his helmet. :^O
The graphics look real cool. :D

Despite what others have said about it, you should at least give it a chance! It's an amazing, addictive, really fun adventure that's hard to let go of. :D
Leia talks too much! Sometimes I feel like saying to her, "Shut up and hand over the stuff!" :^O
I tried to climb into the Falcon but I fell through the boarding ramp. :p

I love those pics!!!

I tried leaving you a comment over on your blog, but I don't think I was allowed to. This is what I wrote:
"I love ceremonies. But never let it be said I stand on ceremony.
"Just what does that mean anyway???
"Wish I could have been there with you."
I hope you had fun. :D
And DV's reaction! Why does he always have to resort to choke holds?
MTFBWY :)
p.s. Happy Remembrance Day! :)

Like when we tried to go into Obi-Wan's house and kept getting thrown out! :^O
Rock ON with pictures!
Cool graphics, aren't they!!?!?

Maybe I should have used "/kiss" instead of "/slap" Ewwwwwww........
