- oh, and London's weather was mostly nice (but that's irrelevant because we were inside most of the time)

It was really impossible to write down everything. But in the end, it was a "I would do that again" experience. Let's hope for a next time, hopefully if it comes close again (but...Japan!)

As they say: one way out!
And may the Force be with you.

- speaking of that other Star* world: spotted two brave people with Star Trek TNG uniforms \\//_

- I spent more money than I usually do in such events (but mostly stuff I can daily use for real);

- I'm happy I don't collect pins and patches (I didn't know they were such a big thing here!). On the same note, a whole lot of other collectors items around I'm not interested to, but then the amount of stuff to buy interesting to me was not so big (good!);

- after years of conventions and similar events, I'm very used to queues (hello there Lucca Comics&Games!) but this was an entire other level: a lot more and longer queues. Well, at least organized queues (let's not start jokes about queues and UK);

- it also really felt a bit cramped together at times. I admit I had a moment of "buffer overflow" the afternoon of the first day. But like Borgs, we improve and adapt... ups, wrong example :-)

A few takeaways from Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 (my 1st SWC):

- first, and very briefly, the obvious ones: the surprise announcements, the protagonists (actors, producers, writers, art, special effects, erc), the mood, and so on: I'd just mention a special preview of the next week's Mandalorian episode (no spoiler, this is the way) with a crowd of people cheering/yelling/making noise just at the right time;

Watching all this on-line content from #SWCE2023 has got me a little bit emotional.
