The Long Countdown

[Darth McBain]

An apt quote, JMK - I'm amazed (pleasantly so) that this thread has gone on as long as it has. Keep it going!!!

[Jedi Master Carr]

No problem, I am glad you were able to do it.

[Jedieb]

"This day will be long remembered."
I can't wait for the next big event. The day we finally get under 100 days!

[Jedi Master Carr]

thats less than a month away if you can believe it than the fun will begin.

[JMK]

What??? These 900 some odd days haven't been titilating fun and excitement?!? Didn't think so! :lol


I really didn't think it would chug along this far into the countdown. It seemed to sputter at times, but then it picked up enough steam to keep people interested. I think I'll try and get the whole thread and then write a book about it when it's all over! :lol

[Darth McBain]

127 days left...

"This is where the fun begins..."

[Jedieb]

LOL JMK! :lol
And now, back to the countdown!

127 Days To Go

Luke Skywalker has returned to his home
planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue
his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the
vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.

Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC
EMPIRE has secretly begun construction on a
new armored space station even more powerful
than the first dreaded Death Star.

When completed, this ultimate weapon will
spell certain doom for the small band of
Rebels struggling to restore freedom to the
galaxy...


(AHHH! Sorry for the double post McBain. It took me forever to track down the ROTJ script. Oh, well, the more the merrier. :) )

[Darth McBain]

What? You mean to tell me you don't have the opening scroll memorized?!?!?! :) No worries, its happened to me too, where I start the post, then get sidetracked, and by the time I finish it, someone's beaten me to the punch...

[JMK]

126 days left

"I know that laugh"

[JMK]

125 days left.

"I want every part of this ship checked."

[Darth McBain]

124 days left...

"Proper???"

[Jedi Master Carr]

123 Days left
"He's the brains sweetheart."

[Darth McBain]

122 days left...

"That's enough!!! I've done all I can. I'm sorry I couldn't do better, but I have my own problems."
> "Yeah. You're a real hero..."

[Darth McBain]

121 days until Ep. II

"Sir, the temperature's dropping too rapidly.
> "That's right - and my friend's out in it!"
"Your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker."
> "Then I'll see you in hell. YAAA!!!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

120 days left only 4 months to go now.
"Together we can end this distructive conflict and bring order to the Galaxy."

[Stanze]

119 more days!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its still 120 here on the EST coast but I'm guessing the time zone thing made it look different for you which is understandable.

[Firebird1]

119 more days now here in the Central Time Zone....

And since everyone else is shoeing their sigs...

[Darth McBain]

118 days to go...

"It isn't friendly, whatever it is. Come on Chewie, let's go check it out."

[JMK]

117 days left.

"When he comes back, I won't get in the way."

[BUFFJEDI]

116

it's not like that ,,he's my brother.

[Jedi Master Carr]

115 days to go
"There is always a Bigger Fish."

[Darth McBain]

114 days to go.

Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you. Need that, you do not.

[Darth McBain]

113 days to go (and I'm starting to get really anxious for this one...)

"Peace!!!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Look at this way we got about 14 days until we get into the single digits.

[JMK]

112 days left!

"We only use this facility for carbon-freezing, if you put him in there, it might kill him."

[Darth McBain]

111 days to go

What do you mean, naked? My parts are showing!!! Oh MY!!!!

[Jedieb]

Nothing to see here, still 111 Days To Go, "Move along, move along!" :rolleyes

[Jedieb]

110 Days To Go

"No disintegrations!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Wow, I get to post one on my birth day 109 days left.

"The force is with you Skywalker, but your not a jedi yet."

[Gav Mortis]

Only 108 days left.

How did Darth Vader know what Luke was getting for Christmas?



He had felt his presents! (Drums: bum-bum ching!)

Thank you! I'm gonna be here all night.

:)

[Darth McBain]

107 days left...

"Well, we can still outmaneuver them..."

[Darth McBain]

106 days left...

"They arrived right before you did, I had no choice. I'm sorry..."

BTW, might be out of town for a few days --- see y'all when I get back...

[Jedi Master Carr]

105 days left, we are nearly under a 100.

"You refer to the prophecy of The One, who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?"

[JMK]

Unreal! Time is still flying. I bet it will start to slow down soon though, as the real trailer comes out and more plot points are exposed, the temptation will be greater to resist.

[JMK]

104 days left!

"Look I so old to young eyes?"

[Darth McBain]

103 days to go...

Difficult to see - always in motion is the future.

[Kennon Chishio]

102 days until Episode II!!!!

[Jedi Master Carr]

101 days to go, two more days and we get past the triple digits.
"I don't think the Sith could have returned without us knowing."

[JMK]

Everyone is saying that there is 100 days left. Should we adjust? The countdown I mean...:D

[Darth McBain]

Well, according to my count, there are still 101 days until May 16 (unless the release date changed). Unless my counting is off or the release date changed, I'd say keep it where it is (101) until we know something for sure...

[JMK]

Ok, sounds good to me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well the movie opens the 16th so tomorrow that would be a 100 days from now, I figured that out because on Feb 15 it will be 90 days which is 3 months. Less than an hour to go. To celebrate I am going to reread the entire thread an relive the memories:D

[Darth McBain]

We are now at the 100 day mark!!!

"Almost there... Almost there..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

I just reread this entire, thread, man what memories:cool I also saw some names I hadn't seen in a long time: Kyp Durron, HyperEopie, Grendal, Darth Ace, and 87FoxGT unless some of the changed their names, I haven't seen any of them here hopefully Kyp will return, before EP 2. Also I saw this quote from Jedieb 602!
I can't believe we're getting excited about reaching the 500s! Well, at least we're under 2 years away. This place should be hopping mad when we reach double digits.
So will it be hopping mad here tomorrow:crack

[Darth McBain]

Wow - that's impressive. I guess most of them probably weren't too bad - just a number and a quote, but that's a lot of posts to go through. I might give that a go sometime when I have a little more time.

As for this place being hopping - I think it will definitely pick up, although probably not just in one day. Give it a little time and I think this place will have a lot more action...

[Jedi Master Carr]

Actually the place has been hoping for the most part January was a busy month, On one day there were almost 150 people active in here but it has slowed down recently, Feburary is just a slow month. Yes reading all those post took along time, but I had some today so I decided to it, I doubt I will do it again to be honest.

[JMK]

You will when I make the novel of the Long Countdown! :lol

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL I guess I will then, it will sure be a long read.

[Darth McBain]

I'm almost afraid to ask, but now that we are coming down the home stretch for Ep. II, what will happen to this thread between Ep. II and III? Do we dare try to reset the counter for Ep. III and keep it going? or should we start a separate thread for III? or should we abandon the idea totally?

Personally, I like the countdown - even when you have years to go, it helps put some kind of status on where we are in the waiting game. I'd be for keeping this thread going, but this is already a long @ss thread... Maybe we should start a new one?

Oh well, doesn't need to be decided for another 100 days or so...

[JMK]

I am pleased to announce that there is a mere 99 days left till AOTC!

"Yeah I'm responsible..."

[Jedieb]

Okay, we're officailly hopiing now!
:crack
:crack
:crack

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yes we are:cool and now are next major moment is 90 days or 3 months we got about 9 days until we get to that point and then I guess the waiting will begin for the final trailer which I can't wait for.:crack

[JMK]

It's hard to find distractions from all this AOTC anticipation, isn't it?I'm having an awful time not thinking about it!

[Darth McBain]

Do we have a date for when the next trailer will be out? All I've heard is sometime in March - has anyone heard anything more concrete than that?

[Jedi Master Carr]

theforce.net had an article claiming it would be with Ice Age which would make sense since it is a fox movie, I was hoping it would be with the Time Machine because I am going to see that when it comes out, I am not sure if I will see Ice Age or not, it looks funny, and I have a nephew who will probably want to see it so I guess I could find an excuse;)

[JMK]

Don't tell anyone guys, but I've NEVER seen a star wars trailer in theaters. Except for Monsters Inc and FOTR, but I didn't exactly know that they were there. I feel shame. If Ice Age doesn't look appealing to me, I probably won't see this trailer either, unless it is put on TV / the net.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I'm not sure if I will see it myself , hopefully it will be with the Time Machine and I won't have to worry about it. I will defintely download it though.

[Jedi Master Carr]

98 days to go, and a little more than a week and we will have only three months to go let the excitement begin.
"I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war."

[Darth McBain]

97 days to go (that's under 14 weeks now!)

"Is it in their nature to make us wait this long?"

[JMK]

96 days left.

"No; I sense an usual amount of fear for something as trivial as this trade dispute..."

[JMK]

95 days left!

"She'll die before she'll tell you anything!"

[Darth McBain]

94 days left...

"And how are you doing Chewbacca? Still hanging around with this loser?!"

[JMK]

93 days left.

"Chewie, jam their transmissions!"

[Darth McBain]

92 days left...

"You, like your father, are now - MINE!!!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

91 days or 3 months and one day to go and Happy Valentine's Day. Since its Valentine's Day I am going to do a romantic quote (the best one on there) from the Forbidden Love Trailer.
"Are you allowed to Love, I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi."

[Darth McBain]

I was thinking from the OT with "I love you. I know..." But yours goes better, I think... Yeah -- happy V-day all...

[Jedi Master Carr]

Thats a good one too, but the main reason I didn't do that one is because I did it last V-Day, I know because I saw it when I reread the only thread last week.

[Darth McBain]

Heh - I guess it pays to go back and actually read this thread so you can see what was posted!!! :)

[Doc Milo]

Another good one for Valentines:

"I'd just assume kiss a Wookiee."

"I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Thats a good one too Doc, I didn't even think about that one. Actually there should be some more good V-Day type quotes in AOTC the trailer at least hints at that.

[Doc Milo]

90 days, or exactly three months to AotC.

"Just seeing her again is intoxicating."

"It must be difficult having sworn your love to the Jedi."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah 3 months to go, and 30 more days to another milestone:crack

[JMK]

89 days to go!

"Begin the race!"

[Jedieb]

88 Days To Go
"I've got your R-2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi!"

[BUFFJEDI]

master carr, what happens in 30 days?

[JMK]

The 2 month bench mark is in 30 days (from when JMC posted)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah, I think every 30 days is like a milestone now until we get under 30 than I don't know maybe 10 because we will be getting so close. Also in now 28 days we should be getting trailer 4, the last one, and then we should be rocking then.:crack

[Jedi Master Carr]

87 days left
"You can't win Darth. Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

[Darth McBain]

86 days to go.

"Are you sure about this? Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know? The queen will not approve."
>> "The queen doesn't need to know."

[JMK]

85 days left!

"Is he nervous?"

[JMK]

84 days left.

"He's fine."

[Jedieb]

84 Days Until AOTC!!!!

"We would be honored if you would join us."
"I had no choice. They arrived right before you did. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, too."

[Darth McBain]

AOTC will be here in 83 days.

"This little one's not worth the effort. Come now, let me get you something."

[Starquest aka AndyR]

Ya know, every day I already know how many days until ATOC gets here, but its always to nice to see it in print... I would get a countdown clock, but then I would miss these great quotes...
Thanks everyone!

And here is my quote: You will all hate me.... :p

"Don't worry Chewie, you'll be celebrating life day before you know it!"
"But first I have to outrun this imperial garbage trough, I'm going to light speed."

[Darth McBain]

BOOOOOOOO HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!!! :rolleyes

[JMK]

82 days left folks. That's all that separates us from the usual ho-hum and AOTC!

"The Holiday Special sucks."

Given the circumstances, I thought this was appropriate. :)

[JMK]

81 days left.

"Excuse me maam, but where are we going?"

[Jedi Master Carr]

80 days to go we are getting closer.
"You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the force, you believe it is this boy."

[JMK]

79 days left!
"We're coming!!!"

[Darth McBain]

78 days to go...

"He wasn't. I can feel it."

[JMK]

77 days to go....

"Weesa be robbed and crunched!"

[Darth McBain]

76 days to go...

"Not likely. We have nothing of value, which is our problem."

[JMK]

75 days to go.

"your majesty, be realistic, they will force you to sign the treaty!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

74 Days left or only 2 months and 2 weeks until AOTC and on a postive note we are only a week a way and we get the last trailer. :crack
"I will sign no Treaty Senator. My Fate will be no different than that of my people."

[JMK]

73 days left!

"But these are my friends! 3-PO, tell them they must be set free!"

[Darth McBain]

72 days left (and 5 days until our first glimpse of the new trailer!)

"How can they be jamming us if... if they don't know we're coming?"

[Doc Milo]

You know, I was just looking over this thread, and I think it should make the news or something -- at least Access Hollywood! Give Master Kyle his props, you know, for starting this thing! :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Maybe some should email them and let them know the great job he has done.

[JMK]

Dudes! All I did was create this thread! We all kept it going. Infact, when it's all over, I want to go through it and list the different people that contributed to it. The only question would be finding second usernames.

[Jedi Master Carr]

That would be cool, though some of them no longer post here right, though they could be posting over at CC.net but there are some who are long gone.

[Darth McBain]

Yeah - looking back over this thread has turned up some names I haven't seen in a long while...

[Doc Milo]

Friday, December 24, 1999:
Jedi Master Kyle: 882 days to go. this will be one wacky thread if it makes it to 2002.


Who'da thunk it? :)

[JMK]

Quite frankly, I thought it was going to die after a month!

[Pizza the Hutt]

Just wanted to point out that Jake Lloyd's 13th birthday is today. Happy Birthday, old man!

Looking forward to AOTC!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah I remember you saying it wasn't going to last but somehow it did. Ok Now I have to say it, "Pizza the Hutt."LOL thats a great nickname. Only 71 days till AOTC.

[Darth McBain]

Yeah - love the icon Pizza... :) 71 days til AOTC and 4 til the new trailer...

"He'll be all right"

[Darth McBain]

70 days till AOTC - and 3 days until the new trailer!!!

"Twilight is upon me. And soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force..."

[Darth McBain]

69 days left until Ep. II!!! And 2 days until the new trailer!!!

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

68 Days to go and tomorrow we get the trailer:crack
"You have been well trained, my young apprentice. The Jedi will be no match for you."

[JMK]

67 days left!
Some of us, standby for the trailer. For the others...be envious!

"You must do what you feel is right of course."

[JMK]

66 days left. Just a touch over 2 months when you think about it. How nuts is this! I gave the thread a good read last night, and there was alot of talk about how crazy it would be if this thread actually made it till 2002. Well, here we are!

"If I have any parts that will help I'll gladly donate them!"
"He'll be alright."

[Jedi Master Carr]

65 days to go and in celebration of the new trailer I am going to quote from it
"You must join me Obi-Wan and together we will destroy the Sith."

[Darth McBain]

64 days left...

"In grave danger, you are..."

[Darth McBain]

"As my first act, I will create a grand army of the Republic, to counter the increasing threats of the separatists"

[Darth McBain]

"There isn't enough life on this ice-cube to fill a space cruiser."

[JMK]

61 days left.
"Sensors are placed, I'm goin back."

[Jedieb]

60 Days until AOTC
"We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Two Months to go I think its time to party for that momentious event :crack :rollin :cool :crack :duel :wave

[JMK]

It's definetly getting closer now! It sounds great to say it's only 2 months away. Seems just like yesterday that we were salivating over the release of TPM.

[Jedi Master Carr]

59 days and counting, looks like the next big date is coming up 56 days which would be 8 weeks exactly, now just about every day is bigger achievement :)
"Begun this Clone war has."

[Darth McBain]

58 days to go until AOTC!!!

"Utini!!!"

[sirdizzy]

54 to go

but first we must eat"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Are you trying to set a record??

[sirdizzy]

no not really but it was cool i got to do all 4 lines from that quote

and at ccnet i have won the last 18 straight in there long count game so i got aways to go here :D:D

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well its no big deal, I guess I will have to try to post earlier next time:p

[sirdizzy]

oh so you were jealous is what it was now i understand

[Jedi Master Carr]

well I just wanted to do it tonight I guess I am going to just have to do it tomorrow.

[sirdizzy]

53 to go

"will he finish what he starts"

[sirdizzy]

52 to go

"i'm not afraid"

Its actually 51,
"Your not a Jedi yet."

[sirdizzy]

oh sorry i fixed it ;)

[CMJ]

50 days away. It's probably been 6 months since I've done a day...but I was one of the old timers. ;)

It seems unreal the film opens in less than 2 months.

[Champion of the Force]

Umm, what timezone is this thread running in?

[CMJ]

I think it's on Great Britain's time zone. I was trying to figure it out earlier today. One thing I know...board time changes every so often...not sure why though.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Actually you set the time on your options page right?? Maybe you have it set wrong CMJ. If you do its no big deal will let you slide for today:D

[sirdizzy]

50 to go

"mesa jar jar binks"

[sirdizzy]

49 to go

"when we last me you were the master"

[Jedieb]

I have a couple of ideas for the home stretch. Why don't we let everyone sign in once a day until the last couple of days. Then JMK can have the last 2 or 3 days to himself since he started the thread in the first place. What does everybody think?

That's the best idea I can come up with. The old King Soloman cutting the thread in half and letting the other person choose the piece of the thread they want wouldn't work. Or would it...:crack

[BUFFJEDI]

48 days to go.
Iguess it's cool to post itO_o







only imperial stormtroopers are so percise

[Darth McBain]

I too agree with JediEb - that would be a good way to end out this thread, by letting all the different contributors have a crack at it and leaving the end for the originator.

[sirdizzy]

how bout first come first serve

[Jedi Master Carr]

I'm thinking we do this for the last 30 days, just because that to me is the home stretch and have JMK do it the last two since he started it.

[JMK]

I agree, I think we should all make a conscious effort to let everyone have a shot at it! As for me, I don't need the last days, maybe just the last day. Thanks for all the consideration though. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

The last day sure that works for me.

[Jedi Master Carr]

47 days to go

"You like your father are now mine."

[sirdizzy]

46 days to go

"he will join us or die"

[Champion of the Force]

Note:

I have gone through and deleted most of the posts relating to sirdizzy's posting spree, since they were starting to alter the course of the thread.

The only ones I have left are in relation to Jedieb's proposal for the home stretch.

If anyone wants to persist in debating the topic of who posts when however I'd ask that you please post a new thread about it rather than attempt to do it in this thread - keep this one for the countdown only where possible. :)

[sirdizzy]

censor censor ;)

[Champion of the Force]

Shut up! :p

41 days to go!!!

"I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me"

[Darth McBain]

I just realized that as of the 41 day mark, that puts us at less than 1000 hours until the movie is here... Not that we should go to an hourly countdown (please no...), but it just hits home - this movie is right around the corner!!!

[JMK]

It's certainly coming up fast! Especially when you start seeing Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood beginning to give previews and updates. About a month and a week away! Crikey!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well the portal page already has an hourly countdown :P Really we are getting close got less than 6 weeks, and also it shows we are getting closer EW has got Natalie and Hayden on the cover next week, with new SW scenes have to check that one out.

[sirdizzy]

[Darth McBain]

Man we're getting close!!! Just over a month to go. I just saw that AOTC is now listed on the front page of the Internet Movie Database in the coming soon section.

"Almost there... Almost there..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

We are getting close, I also see that Yahoo has SW under full coverage again already.

[sirdizzy]

30 days to go


its not my fault

[JMK]

It is my pleasure to announce that there remains one month or 29 days left until AotC!!!

"I knew there was more to you than money!"

[sirdizzy]

jmk you mean its still 30 days to go (damn 80 mph winds killed my power) so 30 days to go


"damn fool i knew you were going to say that
Teringsukkel, ik wist dat je dat ging zeggen"

[JMK]

Well, I subtracted one from the 30 days you posted on the 15th, so I came up with 29 days left. You may want to double check my math though:
30
-1
29

[Darth McBain]

I think Diz's 30-day post on the 15th was a little premature and might have been a little confusing. We need to try waiting until after midnight to post - I know we're all eager to get the post of the day now that we're so close, but let's do it fairly by waiting until after midnight...

[JMK]

Yeah, seriously. AFTER midnight is ideal. :p
Ok them, 30 days left. But my math was still correct I like to think.:D

[Jedi Master Carr]

We got one month to go yeah, and today the music video gets released can't wait to see that.

[sirdizzy]

its not my fault we had 70mph winds i though it was after midnight i was getting ready for work and then i put my watch on and damn it i was up an hour early

[Darth McBain]

There are now 28 days, or 4 weeks, until AOTC opens!!!

and 6 days until the merchandising blitz begins :)

"Well, I guess I can hotwire this thing..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its still 29 days looks like we are still messed up by Dizzy's little mistake

[Darth McBain]

Whoops - my mistake... Thanks Carr...

29 days, until AOTC, and
6 days until soundtrack, novel, toys, and the rest of the fun stuff... :)

[Jedieb]

16 more days until SWCelebration2!
"We will find out who's trying to kill you Padme, I promise you."

26 days to go
3 Days Until AOTC Merchandise
13 Days Until SWC2


"i have a bad feeling about this"

[Jedieb]

25 Days Until AOTC
12 Days Until SWC2
2 Days Until AOTC Merchandise

"The Force is strong with this one."
"Never tell me the odds!"
"So be it, ...Jedi!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

25 days wow we are really get closer we have about 3 1/2 weeks but we still don't know when they will be selling advance tickets they better decide quick, I do not want to have to wait in line to get in.

[Jedi Master Carr]

24 days to go
11 Days to SWC2
1 day till the merchandise comes out
"I will not allow this republic to be split in two my negoations will not fail."

[sirdizzy]

without knowing if their going presell tickets has messed me up i ahd to put in a vacation request weeks ago to camp out (i went with a no presell) but i might be able to let em bump my vacation back a week because someone else asked for that week after me a couple days ago

[Jedieb]

13 hours until the toys are released!

[Darth McBain]

I'm more interested in the soundtrack myself, but yeah!!! Only 15 more hours (mountain time, that is) !!!

[sirdizzy]

its now 13 hours mountain time

[Jedi Master Carr]

I wouldn't worry about I am almost certain they will sell advance tickets they did for most places for TPM, so I would be shocked if they didn't do it this time. Its been under negoation the problem is Fox wanted to do it May 3 and that will be a bad day first the SWC2 begins that day that means there will people who won't be able to buy them and then Spiderman opens on that day so that is not the best day to sell them. I am thinking they might sell them on Monday the 6th but that is a guess.

[sirdizzy]

23 days to go

"then i'll see you in hell"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey the merchandise comes out today lets all go run out and shop like crazy:crack

...you have no idea!

This thread is uber cool. :) Swfans invasion in CA in twenty three days!

"Its not my fault!"

[CMJ]

I actually remember posting that statement....:) It's rather amazing it lasted this long with people leaving and/or forgetting about this thread at varying times. Confrats all around on this...to posters that have long since left us and to newer ones that didn't see the beginning...but especially to those of us that have been here off and on since well...about 2 and a half years ago.

[JMK]

Hey guys, we're not there yet! Uncle George could still pull the plug on everything, move to Mars and never return! :lol

[Sage Hazzard]

22 days to go.

"Pain. Suffering. Death, I feel. Something terrrible has happened"

(Hope I did it right. Is it 22 or 21? My clock says 21 days and 23 hours, so I put 21 days)

EDIT: Thank you.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Its actually 22, if you want to post it as 21 and so many hours thats cool we won't consider it exactly 21 until it reaches 21 even tomorrow at midnight.

[Jedieb]

21 Days Until AOTC
8 Days Until SWCon 2
"No, there is another..."
"Yes, your father he is."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Three weeks to go can you feel the excitement?

[Jedieb]

This whole midnight madness bonanza has really started to make it sink in. Next week I'm going to be going crazy with anticipation because of the convention. I hope I can get access to a phone line or a hotel computer so I can share some of the experience with you guys. But I'll probably be busy bailing buff out of jail every night.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey I wonder if he has made it there yet :p If you can give us updates on the convention that would be cool, I wish I could go but things didn't work out for me to get there this time, I am going to find a way to go to the last one before Ep3 though.

[Jedieb]

I've been wondering how the hell I'm going to meet him. We never set a place or time. What do I look for, some hulking fanatic tossing SW fans left and right so he can buy an autographed Bea Arthur Holiday Special photograph?

[JMK]

Just wear a big sign around your neck and write "Bea Arthur smells Ravishing"

[Doc Milo]

20 days till AotC

"Begun, this clone war has."

[Strider]

Now 19 days and some odd hours...

Ok, where does the line start?

[JMK]

20 days Strider, 20 days. Don't lead us to believe its closer than it really is....:D

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well it is less than 20 days, its like 19 days 9 hours and 42 minutest to be exact, though i don't think we need to start adding the hour into the countdown yet :D

[CMJ]

Yeah...time for me to take a turn. We're 19 days and counting folks...gettin' awfully close now. :)

[Doc Milo]

Hey CMJ you "won" this one :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

:lol Doc

[sirdizzy]

i thought we weren't suppose to use that word i guess it sok for the hypocrites

[Jedi Master Carr]

Really Dizzy do you have no sense of humor, Doc was being Sarcastic that is why I did the : lol thing because I knew he was.

[JMK]

Some people just can't buy a clue. :zzz

[CMJ]

Well I guess I'll go ahead and use my second day now(since I'm on the west coast I can't be sure when all you guys will manage to let the countdown slip till after midnight my time).

We are only 18 days away...my God, how close that is considering we started nearly 900 days ago.

[sirdizzy]

i know doc was being sarcastic its just funny when someone else says it not me

[Jedieb]

Since no one else has done it;
5 more days until SWCon 2!
"Tell him I'm ready!"

[Jedieb]

17 Days Until AOTC
4 Days Until SWCon2

"It's all Obi-Wan's fault!"
"But I wanted to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!"

Like father, like son... Anyway, this is my last 'first of the day' post. I'm so heartbroken I don't know what to do with myself. :(

[Darth McBain]

Hope you'll forgive me for posting a tad early - like CMJ said - when you're not on the east coast, sometimes its tough to slip in the midnight post of the day since we're a couple hours behind. Guess now is as good a time as any to use one of my final posts in this thread...

There are 16 days until AOTC opens!!!
and 3 days until the SW-CON2 (not that I'm going to it :( )

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we shall have revenge."
> "You've been well trained, my young apprentice. The Jedi will be no match for you."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well I decided to go today on May Day
15 days to go
"Your not a Jedi yet."

[Jedieb]

2 Days until SWCon2!
"Patience, you must learn patience!"

[JMK]

This thread has now had over 5000 views. Had enough yet? :lol

[RHJediKnight]

::looks around:: Nobody's done it yet? Okay, I will. This marks the first day of the final two weeks before AOTC! In other words...

14 days to go!

"This will be a day long remembered..."

[JMK]

Just think of where will you be, and how you will be feeling 2 weeks from today! I can't wait!

[Darth McBain]

SW-Con2 tomorrow. Have a great time EB, and anyone else that is going - make sure to try to drop us a line to let us know what an awesome time you're having.

[JMK]

Yeah! I hope you guys have a total blast! Think of the rest of us while you're schmoozing with the cream of the SW community!

Wait a minute, WE are the cream of the SW community! Jokes on you suckers!
Sigh. :\


Take lots of pics and try to kidnap someone! That would be the ultimate SW collectible! Have a safe trip too!:D

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah have fun guys, and Jedieb keep us up to date on what going on in Indy.

[Jedieb]

15 hours and 35 minutes until my flight leaves!:crack

[Yog]

<marquee><font size=3 color=yellow>13 days to AOTC!</font></marquee>

It's a lucky number. This is my very first counting down post! Finally! :)


"For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. It's energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you...me...the tree...the rock...everywhere! Yes, even between this land and that ship!"

[JMK]

Nice marquee Yog! :lol

[Jedieb]

SW Celebration 2 is here!
Yog, can you post that code so some of us could use it as well?

[JMK]

If I'm not mistaken, its actually really easy;
<marquee> <font color=blue size=5>is this how this works?</font></marquee>

You just type (marquee)Text you want to scroll(/marquee). Obviously, you just have to replace the curved brackets with the HTML ones <>.

[sirdizzy]

[Jedi Master Carr]

Are you posting from Europe or Australia? If so it will count.

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

I'm not sure hw this works, is it local midnight? Cant tell what board midnight is

Anyway

[sirdizzy]

[Jedieb]

I can't believe this our last double digit day! If I were still single I'd go out, get drunk, and engage in meaningless fornication. :p
