I've given my opinion of CE over at my blog, but I agree with nearly all the above. I've now had a couple of days to think about my experience there and the more I do, the more disappointed I was with the whole thing. It should have been called Star Wars 'Sell'abration. Another excuse to make money from the punters. In fact it was the fans that made it. The 501st, the Palitoy Archive, the team from Belgium with their props that let you take photos with them FREE OF CHARGE! Lets hope the next CE learns some lessons from this one. And let's hope Mr. Sansweet is reading these comments in the hope he may learn something about fan relations!
