Maybe I can shake off my depression enough to give you a post for May. This is the occupational hazard of having just about the best week of all freaking time, and then having it be over. As you should well know, May 16 was the tenth anniversary of the second Star Wars prequel, that much-abused Episode II: Attack of the Clones. After the giant Episode I party, I knew my friends and I had to do something of equal or greater grandeur to celebrate the next decadeversary of the franchise.

Michelle, Kristine, and I once again got together around a phenomenal cake to watch Star Wars, play games, and in all ways celebrate the starriest of all the wars. Follows are some pictures from our fun time.

The next important thing after the cake is of course decorations to set the scene, and entertainments, so you’re actually doing something besides getting together for processed sweets.

At last we were ready for celebration. The guests were assembled — all, uh, three of us — and everything was baked, decorated, prepared, and set. The order of the day included playing every Star Wars game we had, participating in some Mad Libs and coloring books, and finally watching Episode II over dinner — a fresh hot gristlewart sausage pizza (sorry, old Star Wars Haiku chatroom in joke there). We ended it over fresh slices of Dex’s Diner. (If it wasn’t abundantly clear what our cake was: it was Dex’s Diner from Episode II.)

Star Wars life played with mini pod characters — so much cooler!

Lil Jango is so determined NOT to lose ANYTHING

This game is way harder than it looks — Droid Operation

This game is so much more complicated than I ever imagined. But pretty fun though.

Time for pizza! Jango’s got some competition

I would’ve aimed for a better screen cap than this. Oh, well.

For comparison! Which one is the picture again?

So you can see wha the back of the diner looks like — something we had to come up with ourselves

The SWL tries to sneak in with a lightsaber spoon for the best bits.

Star Wars fans love toys. This is scientific fact.

“It’s a Kaminoan saberrrrrrr darrrrrrrt.”

See? See it? See it? AWESOME.
