Fun Friday QOTD: Tell us about a favorite character or scene from any of the Star Wars films.
Anything to do with Vader is my favourite, but his initial entrance is the best scene-so EPIC!!

ATTQOTD: This is tough... but Clone Wars really introduced a lot of awesome characters like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress... Still I think my favorite character is Hondo Onaka followed closely by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Any scene these two were together in were hilarious!


Race Report:
Star Wars Dark Side 5k -1:33:27

So this was my 3rd rundisney race but the first I stopped for character pictures. DH ran with me and we did all the official character stops except one and even did one of the incredibly slow 501st stops. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of cool pictures.

But this one time I saw this clip of a storm trooper hitting his head as he was walking through a doorway and it was hilarious.

ATTQOTD: Chewy!!!

Favorite Star Wars Scene: New Hope, Binary Sunset. Luke is frustrated but accepting that his family needs him and the right thing to do is stay and help. His ambitions and desires are greater than his current circumstances. Luke's theme plays with an increasing volume. The suns are shown close up and perhaps he wonders what is out there past those suns and whether he'll ever know. It's a beautiful and revealing scene in the development of Luke's character.

ATTQOTD: It's a difficult decision to be made, but I'm going to go with Cantina Bar Scene. A lot of interesting things taking place there.

I was thinking of this the other day and I can't figure it out. I love Chewy. Combination of teddy bear and complete bad a$$. But then there is R2D2 and Yoda. Yoda digging through Luke's stuff in Empire with his little butt sticking out still remains funny to me. An R2 is R2.

Scenes, Rey and Kylo Ren's battle in the forrest at the end of FA is great. Rey realizing in the chamber with Kylo Ren that she has power's is great. Darth vader throwing the Emperor over the railing and killing him was awesome. So many good scenes..

It must be the beginning of summer training. Just loaded up my Amazon cart with a new box of Huma (gonna run out before my HM), some Nuun, and a fresh stick of Body Glide, as the applicator part of mine popped out of the tube this morning after I turned it a turn to make it come out further. I didn't realize it was almost gone! Hopefully I can make it last through tomorrow's run, I'm going to need it as I'm already chafed up from today even though I put some on! I have pretty much permanent chafing at my bra strap on the back through the summer months.... ouch.

Today's run was pretty darn miserable-y sweaty! T+D is temp + dew point right? That was like 135 this morning while I was doing my 6. YUCK. Tomorrow should hopefully be a tiny bit better... it's looking like it should be about 96 T+D when I start my run. My group is running 90 min tomorrow, and I've got ~145 min to do (2.5 WU/6 @ HM/2 CD), so I'm going to shoot for starting about 70 min earlier than them, so about 7:15. I better find what's left of my Nuun for my handheld water bottle. Between the handheld and having some water back at my car when I finish up my pre-miles before the group heads out and the water stop we put out on the group run (the group runs an out and back), hopefully I'll be good water wise and not need to break out my Orangemud Single Barrel. I really wish I could get that thing to work better for me, it's pretty much ideal, it sits so easy on my back up high, doesn't bother me, easy to get the bottle in and out... except that it chafes me so badly under my arms. I have an unused Double Barrel still with tags attached that I should probably just try and sell... there's no way I'm going to wear that one when I can't get the lighter Single Barrel to not chafe.

ATTQOTD:
Scene: Literally any scene with Han and Chewie
Character(s): Han and Chewie

 

[baxter24]

ATTQOTD: Favorite characters are Han Solo and Chewbacca. Too many scenes to pick for a favorite but I loved the lightsaber scene with Snoke in The Last Jedi.

 

[cavepig]

Ewoks! Porgs are pretty cute too. I love Lando! I have this thing for Jabba too & when he gets strangled it's pretty epic, that scene was playing on the big screen during the half in '17 even, way to get people to run faster!

 

[Chaitali]

Great question as I'm sitting on the couch working from home with Empire Strikes Back on the tv My favorite character is actually from the tv shows and not the movies (Ahsoka Tano) and I have too many favorite scenes. But one of them is the scene with Vader at the end of Rogue One.

Fun Friday QOTD: Tell us about a favorite character or scene from any of the Star Wars films.

Hmm, I had to really think about this. My favorite character is Yoda and I'd have to go with the Dagobah training Luke does in Empire. It was a hard decision between that and the Hoth battle scene at the beginning of Empire.

 

[JulieODC]

ATTQOTD: Uh oh, I am afraid to even answer...I've only seen one Star Wars movie completely...soooo I've got nothing.

I’ll come sit over here with you.

I did just drive down to a providence to pick up my race bib for Sunday, and the Rhode Island highway department signs all said “drunk driving is the path to the dark side”

 

[FFigawi]

I’ll come sit over here with you.

I'm sure @Keels will bring enough booze for the three of you

 

[jmasgat]

ATTQOTD: The opening credit roll of New Hope with John Williams music. It just hits you and make you want to know what comes next.

Her nicknames made me laugh so much!

 

[Baloo in MI]

Han Solo - of the Harrison Ford variety. Not sure what I will think of the new movie. Will I go see it, of course!
