I was at Comic Con this past friday. Steve Sansweet or whatever was there. I got pissed though because it was like an hour long presentation and he told us NOTHING WHATSOEVER. To top it off, they were handing out buttons saying "HAN SHOOTS FIRST...Sept. 12, 2006" Nothing like taking an insult, turning it around and capitalizing off of it.


Of course he didn't say anything new. He never does. He regurgitates everything that's online. But I swear the majority of the people in that room do not have Internet access. Everytime I go to his "spectacular" it's the same crap that's been online for months. The only thing they unveiled this year was the 30th anniversary logo and the logo for Celebration IV (which turned out to be VERY close to a logo someone in the Rebel Legion designed for Celebration IV). Then when Q&A starts, you get the same STOOPID questions everytime (assuming they even had a Q&A).

I actually didn't even make it this year and I found that I missed absolutely nothing. I think the one time they unveiled something "earth shattering" was two years ago when they announced the title for Episode 3. But I think even a well educated guess could've seen it coming (a friend of mine even said he had a bad feeling it was going to be ROTS since it was so close to the original ROTJ). Of course, everything they showed and talked about was online before the convention even ended, so there wasn't a need to see it there anyway.

And the whole "Han shoots first" thing is actually just plain wrong. A friend of mine pointed it out "Han shot ONLY!". That's right. He wasn't first, he was the ONLY shot. There can be no first if there is no second.
