Posts: 3367 Sun, Feb 21, 2010 1:58 PM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Tags : None Who's interested in a Star Wars marathon? At last night's gathering at Aaron's house we discussed the possibility of a marathon of movies. Who would be interested in attending or hosting something like this? Would we watch all six episodes as we discussed or break it into Trilogies? How about a season of Clone Wars? I'm definitely interested, and in the case of a full marathon, I've never watched all six Star Wars movies back to back. I think perhaps the Orlando System's closest effort was the day the Original Trilogy was released on DVD in 2004. Melanie hosted an all-day party that was a midweek day of fun. We all took the day off and made it a holiday party. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

I've got a ton of stuff going on and a lot to prepare for, but we'll nail down a date and time soon and make it happen. I'd like to see us start with Episode I and work our way up from there completing the Saga in one 24 hour period.

Then you can't say that you've seen all six films in a row though! That's the whole point. I've done this a few times, but I know Campbell hasn't yet.

(I'm kidding). Also, I feel generally confident that there are none or few of us that would watch them chronologically as made... -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3367 Mon, Feb 22, 2010 3:01 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	For something like this, I'm willing to head down there. Half-marathons are very do-able, but that's also what makes the full Saga marathon so special. It's not something most people can do with any sort of regularity. We're talking 14-15 hours of Star Wars immersion. It's kind of like a sweat lodge for Star Wars fans. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

The movies are the heart of the franchise and one of the most fun ways to bond. I'm really looking forward to this. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

There's really nothing like hunkering down in an earthly version of the red Wookiee Life Day cloaks while taking in the Trilogies with friends. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 835 Wed, Mar 3, 2010 4:09 AM *Kissimmee*	Can we consider a date for this maybe toward the end of march? Rich's doesn't sound like a problem to me but because this certainly will be a longer event so timing for the day is a consideration

Personally, as long as I have a few weeks I should be able to schedule whatever day(s) you think might work. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Would an early Monday morning work for anyone? Are we just doing a daylight hour thing or was anyone interested in a sleep over?

I will still be out of work so everyday is good for me. I think if we did a overnight marathon it would give us more time to talk and socialize just let me know what is good for everyone the end of he month would be fine.

Posts: 3367 Wed, Mar 3, 2010 1:29 PM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	A Monday would probably work for me. I spoke to Aaron last night who indicated that he wasn't looking to stay overnight. I'm leaning toward spending the night- if the host, whoever that is, is agreeable. If I'm driving a few hours both to and from, and spending possibly 15 hours watching movies, I'll run off the road coming home. Heck, I might run off the road just due to the insanity of watching six movies in a row. I don't have a preference as to whether we start the marathon at night or in the day. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3023 Wed, Mar 3, 2010 1:36 PM Administrator Tampa SW Club President Tampa	I'm not necessarily looking to try and watch the movies all night long, but the purpose of a sleep over would be so that everyone was already there and we could start the marathon early in the morning the next day. We are looking at 13 hours and 45 minutes of film here. If we started at 6:00am, we would finish at 7:45pm. Now, if we're all in Port Saint Lucie with a hour and a half drive back to Orlando and a three hour drive back to Tampa, this is going to be the very latest that we could start to get everyone back home at a decent hour.

Like I said I have no schedule so who ever want to stay is more than welcome I have two couches and a futon that is like a bed and I think I have a king size blow up mattress and plenty of floor space and three bathrooms so we should be OK. So you guys work out what days and just let me know . Looking forward to having everyone here.
