Had a really good time at the local anticipating-Christmas party -- especially chatting with some people I met about things like THE HOBBIT, BATMAN, STAR WARS, what-have-you. Also got to discuss stuff like Lucasfilm being sold to Disney and whatnot, and some of us hoping that even if the STAR WARS EU wasn't directly adapted, we'd still get Mara Jade in somehow (which I definitely hope so too, because I've been dying to see Mara on the big screen for quite a while. :) She's awesome. :3). I know that someone actually suggested Karen Gillan to play Mara should she get in there, which I love (for those who haven't watched Doctor Who, Amelia Pond: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mayxs09hyK1qbo8l4o1_1280.jpg). Because Karen Gillan is a wonderful actress, and I think she could portray Mara very well with a lot of depth. Mara's a very complex character (half of why I adore her. :3) and I think Karen can do a lot with that. :)

Also got to geek out about Amelia Pond, which was also awesome. Honestly, the only thing that was really sad was when it ended, because it meant that it would be a while before I got to see them again (although the New Year's party is rolling around, so there is that. :). Also got to talk with my Mom a bit about Anakin, screenwriting, etc. on the way there, which was nice. :) 

So all in all? Had a good time. :3 Really glad that I went there. :)

Sounds like an awesome time. Omg Mara Jade. I want to see this so badly! I never considered Karen, but omg, I think she'd be excellent. I'm really sad/scared about how they're disregarding the books, but I've decided to go in with an open mind.

Heck, it's Star Wars, so I'll probably love it :D

It definitely was. :)

And isn't it? :D I know that once I thought about it, I was like, "Oh my God, best casting ever." I pretty much had a literal squee moment at the table I was sitting at. :)

Same here. :) Honestly, as long as it's good, I'll be ready for just about anything. :)

Pond is pretty - I'll take your recommendation.

Glad you had fannish fun at the party!

She's gorgeous, isn't she?

Wow, Karen Gillan as Mara ... I would not have thought of that. I mean, she's an awesome actor, but she seems so different, personality-wise from Mara. Then again, I only know her as Amy Pond, so I guess I don't have a very good idea of her acting range. If she could pull off a plausible Mara, that would be amazingly brilliant.
