The new longest countdown in TGC history has begun. As we speak the TPM 10th Anniversary countdown is setting the bar high at 1000 consecutive days, so lets
raise the bar a little bit higher as we countdown to May 16th 2012.

My Attack of the Clones experience was much like The Phantom Menace. I saw it on the second day of its release though this time it was in down town Tacoma
rather than Lakewood. There was still a healthy line for it, though. If I remember properly, it might have been bigger than last time: People were still
sporting costumes and props. My mates and I even bought a few toy lightsabers and brought them along to the showing. It was fantastic!

My Attack of the Clones experience was a huge letdown, compared to Phantom Menace. I was in highschool and not working when TPM came out, so it was essentially
the final summer of "childhood" and as I recall probably one of the "best years of my life". When Clones came out, however, I was home from
college for the summer, working long factory shfts.........and to make things worse, it was second shift. I didn't get to see the movie until like Saturday
or Sunday, and I was so tired from work that I had a hard time enjoying it.

That was almost my story. I was actually at the University of Washington doing a few courses for transfer credits the night it came out so I was majorly bummed
that I didn't make the first showing. But it was all fine in the end because the crowds were still absolutely fantastic. That's what I like about Star
Wars releases: People get pumped up, the anticipation is high like what you experience at a good football game and you get that sense of community. To me, a
new Star Wars release is like getting reacquainted with an old friend. It's a timeless experience that you'll most likely remember all the days of your
life.
I still definitely remember Revenge of the Sith. It was the first and last time I ever went to a midnight premier of Star Wars - absolutely fantastic! |

I caught a midnight show for Revenge of the Sith as well. Got there a little before 10:00PM, the place sold out, and you could just listen to all the star wars
conversations going on in the crowd before the film. All those star wars fans.......and you think you could get more of them to a place like TGC even today! Oh
well.
But of course ROTS was bitter sweet. Glad that it finally arrived, sorry that it marked a kind of end as well. |

That was one thing that kept me sort of upset about the whole thing. On one hand I was excited that yet again, there was another Star Wars release to be had
and on the other, there was that knowledge that this would be it: No more live action releases.
And about those fans... I was actually thinking while I was in line: "Wouldn't it be weird if I was actually standing next to someone from TGC?" |

...and on that note, I've always wished that there could be more meeting up between TGC members. But we've always had a larger portion of younger
members, plus there is the fact of location. We're all spread so far out....
