How would you prepare your Star Wars marathon? (Drinks, Gimmicks, Decoration etc.)
Time

Hello all,

I would like to exchange ideas for hosting a themed Star Wars Marathon. There are some websites that already give you inspiration for parties or children's birthdays. Some interesting things, even for the "older age".

People on this board might have even better and more elaborated ideas, because they are more into the movies (as we are all nerds). So this thread should serve as a collection for that.

-----

I will host one marathon for about eight people in about two weeks. Not everyone knows the movies. There will be some alcohol in the game, my ideas so far were:

 Take of those beer kegs (5 litres), spay-paint it and then glue some colored paper to it to make it look like R2! Or just C-3PO's face.

 Make blue milk inspired by the White Russian: Vodka, Kahlua, Milk/Cream and food dye. Has anyone tried Blue Russian with Blue Curacao? I think the orange taste would not be how I image blue milk to taste like.

I am still looking for the perfect midnight snack. We boycott our local pizza delivery because they refused to draw lightsabers on the pizza boxes the last time.

-----

Please share your personal ideas/experiences or interesting links on any Star Wars marathon related food, gimmicks, decoration, drinks or other cool stuff. Which things are well received by other people, which are not?

If there is anything we can do to help you, for example rendering parts or donating for your electricity bill, I'm in.

Edit: There seems to be an Avisynth TCPServer function for distributing clips over the network. However, the usability is in question and some people have reported that it did not increase speed.

The problem might be that you have to wait for the second machine to finish its script until you procede with the one on your first machine. On the first view I would say that I cannot confirm that, but I'm not so experienced in Avisynth.

Maybe someone can find out? All threads about this are pretty old.
