Nrrrgh. It's now four-ten in the morning, and I think I've edited the rest of our stream-of-consciousness blogging to make sense as best as I can. Holy CRAP we wrote a lot of notes. Please bear in mind that there were a bunch of us tag-teaming on the notes (which I've pointed out where possible), so there's an exciting array of observations, tenses and pronouns. My apologies in advance for the grammarians in the crowd. I'm sure I missed lots of errors in my fatigue, and honestly I can't be arsed at the moment to look up correct spellings.
Other general observations: a whole bunch of people turned up, including Rae,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spiraldurga, giantkiller, toft_froggy, bassringer, soprano_yvonne, trias_cube and jumila. It was one full house! I was meaning to track the comings and goings, but what with different bloggers it didn't really happen. It was pretty wild watching it with so many people: lots of talk and laughter and some arguing, lots of mocking the earlier films (when we weren't ignoring them) and loving the later ones. We were even *gasp* QUIET for a few scenes later on! Lots of delicious, delicious junk food was consumed, and I don't think I've had that much Diet Coke in the past six months combined. I MAY STILL BE A LITTLE WIRED.
I think people had a good time? Mostly? I had a blast. Didn't get much scanning done in the end (I had been planning to mindlessly scan photos while watching the films), but had a lot of fun - and that, ultimately, was the point. Honestly, when it was all over I was sad. Much as I love the films, I actually try not to watch them too often because I'm afraid they will lose some of their magic...but when the last one finished I wanted nothing more than to put one in so the magic wouldn't end. Lucas may have become increasingly ham-handed with his scrips but his world-building is second to none, from first to last film, and whatever flaws these films may have (*coughwhicharemanycough*), they never fail to transcend my cynicism and transport me straight to a state of childlike wonder.
( Notes cut for length. EPIC NOTES ARE EPIC. )
ETA:fairylane asked me in the previous post what I had noticed at 1:38 PM. I'd noticed that the architecture of the "box seat" outcropping of the Genosean stadium reminded me strongly of the Sydney Opera House.
