One week till Star Wars Day!

Hello, everyone!

This is just a reminder that next week, Wednesday will be Star Wars day! Milliways will spontaneously turn itself into The Standard Cantina, complete with ridiculous band playing frankly completely weird music, a bar with entirely different food and drink than usual, costuming available, and some weapons with safe settings (whether that be blasters with stun only or training lightsabers not actually capable of accidentally severing limbs).

If no one objects or beats me to it, I will probably sign R2-D2 up for Happy Hour, because of course he's stuck with it.

If you're looking for food and drink ideas, the best places I can think of to start are the Wookiepedia pages on them:
Food
Beverages of all kinds (including alcoholic)

Feel free to have a little fun with the soundtrack, of course. There is no plot in this, just a lot of silliness and fun times for all. Plan amongst yourselves or just make it up!



Totally unrelated note: did LJLogin just break for anyone else?

Would it be too awkward for Anakin if I dress Eliot Waugh in one of Padme's outfits? I'm thinking one of the trouser-ed ones. I'm not 100% committed to the idea, SW does have tons of other fabulous costumes to chose from.

Cool. (Same mun, just trying to get an OOM written).

And yes, I'm having trouble with LJLogin as well. Did you update to Firefox 46 recently? That seems to be what ruined the add-on for me. I get nothing but blank fields.

Maru hasn't had any troubles using the same, so maybe there's hope. If I find anything, I'll be sure to share.

You just know Sinric is going to be swishing about in the pastel lake dress!

I'm wondering if I should feel sorry for Anakin now, especially if Emcee joins in the fun. This Tumblr post might be a good reference for you.

Emcee would just show up in gold body paint as sexy C-3PO, that's all.

Well, if he wears gold booty shorts, he should be good to go. ;p

You know, Eliot doesn't seem that interested in cross-dressing, now that I think of it. He might have to be a fabulous smuggler or jedi instead.

That'd be adorable! Jay's all smuggler but more of the scruffy kind than the elegant figure Eliot will cut.

AWESOME.

Anakin jr will probably help Artoo. In his time, they have a "beep once for yes, two for no" style code going, but Bar might aid in their communication a bit...?

Bar in no way affects R2's communication.

Because it's funnier that way, that's why.

Always adhere to the Rule of Funny. :D

Another question, I notice costumes are an option, how about cosmetic changes to appearance? Like can a human change to appear another human-like race, like say a Pantorian (blue skinned humaniod, no lekku or other non-human features)?

Yes, because this is silly funtimes and if Cubefall lets people there's no reason not to for this.
