    Absolutely this.
    I can understand the people of the event to be the first in see it. Jeez, even if they are the only ones during a day and talking about it in every corner of he world.

    But release those videos online a couple of days after will not kill anybody. Event people will be happy to be the first. The rest of the world will be happy to watch it too.

    And also producers perfectly know they will leak those videos so it's sillier not to release it then.

    I've prejudged SC costumes with this sh... video or the padawans in Acolyte, and maybe am totally wrong.

    I usually don't watch leaked videos like all of yestarday. But this time I said: come on, i will watch it all lol I was so excited i couldn't resist XD

    The quality is so bad lol but there are no spoiler points.
    SC and Acolyte are not even completed.
    Andor one is not that epic specially for the quality of the video and because they're still filming and there are no big shots, or ships or space scenes. I think is not complete either. Saw a couple of new characters but the quality is so bad i could not see even the actors or costumes.

    All people I know are waiting for Andor so badly and they're angry for waiting so long. It's silly not show this video in the middle of the process for everyone.

    So, just in case anyone are bummed they didn't get to go to a SWC, I was there three days and you should know that:
    a) You'll see a LOT more SW interviews and info, and a lot better structured, if you watch it at home on yt (=on site, you'll catch glimpses, without really hearing anything over the trong, while you hurry to and fro :( )
    b) You'll be a lot more comfortable (=I'm back home now and everything hurts :rolleyes: )
    c) And You'll presumably be queueing at home a LOT less then you would at SWC (=I was at SWC2023 for about 23-24 hours and spent roughly 7 of those queueing up for something, not including bathroom and food lines :confused: )​

    So, yeah, you did miss stuff from the comfort of your own abode, but what you got was clearer, completer (is that even a word?), and more concise than what we got. And for all the excitement and in-the-flesh glimses of celebs that you lost out on, you also skipped so much frustration, confusion, and pain. So don't feel bad; y'all was part of SWC, too :D

    From now on, I'll probably attend SWC from home :cool:

    To be honest, I'm sort of eyeing the posibility of doing a future Germany one ;)

    Also, I forgot to add. The one thing you do NOT get by watching SWC on yt, is all the cool and exclusive minor panels and fan stuff! That went a looong way towards making the SWC experience worth it! :cool:

    Totally… that’s one of the reasons I hung out in my good spot at the Live stage for so long - I got to see a whole bunch of faces and hear about their experiences.

    Filoni got totally choked up with emotion at the fan response to him and what he gets to do everyday, Lars Mikkelsen and Ray Stevenson were overwhelmed by their response too… and Andy Serkis leading us ‘on program’ and in a hall filling ‘one way out’ chant pretty much made my entire weekend! :)

    I'm happy for, and jealous of you both.
    I must say, for not being there in person, I had a GREAT Celebration Weekend from home. I loved the Live! stage and saw some awesome panels, plus all the peripheral YT content... No lines for food or toilet, and a big comfy couch. I will definitely get to SWC one day, I was really hoping 2025 would be back in Orlando, but... I would love to see it come to Atlanta or Nashville as well.

    Anyway, one would think after four solid days of heavy SW intake, one would be tired of it. One would be wrong. Think I'll make one a sandwich and cue up some Obi-Wan Kenobi for a little "hair of the dog"
