Anyone going to Celebration V?

Author

If you are and you happen to find me, I'll be giving away copies of my never-before-seen Star Wars Holiday Special DVD to anyone who asks.  This is a beta version of a cleaned up and color-corrected version of the Holiday Special complete with RiffTrax commentary.

The best place to find me is at the FanForce/Jedi Council Forums booth in the Expo hall. I'll be the guy with the red hair answering to "Ben" or "that JC head admin guy". If I'm not there, you can ask them to text me.

I'd love to talk preservations or fan edits or just OT.com in general, so hit me up!

[X0 Project]

I was going to attend but didn't have anyone to go with. :(

Wish I knew some of you guys "in real life."

As a huge fan of Rifftrax, if anyone does take one of Zion's Holiday Special DVDs, I know they would appreciate a couple bucks thrown their way.

On topic, wish I was going, just to see if I could run into a few of you guys.

Zion, any chance you might have a few spare copies of the raw X0 captures to give away?

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Perfect question

If he didn't mention it he won't is how I see it... :/. I do wish he would, though; isn't the raw capture 7 discs or something, though?

Agree. I'd be there in a heartbeat if it was an ot.com convention.

 Why not an ot.com convention? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Does 005 still have some of that cake?

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

No that was Yesterday (featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!).

Someone needs to take a portable video projector to one of these things, and have Puggo Grande running up on a hotel wall or something. Or better yet, behind Lucas when he takes the stage! Long Live the Rebellion! :P

I suggested an OT con a few years back. There has to be a way to at least rent out a movie theater for something like the "farewell" screening in Boston...

Where were you in '77?

The cake is gone. The toppers remain, for a few bucks, it could be re-created.

I'd love to do an OT.com con, but I honestly think it would work better as a meet-up at a bigger con (ComicCon, this). What would we do at an OT.com con? Talk about fan editing and destroy each other's perceptions of ourselves? ;-)

If they move Celebration back up to Indianapolis, you couldn't keep me away.

Aww man, I wish I had seen this thread before I took off. Would have been cool to hang out. Oh well. =/

I almost ran into that fist of his, but I ducked.*

I was there, and tried to find Zion...but managed to miss him every time I stopped by the booth.  Nuts!  Sorry we didn't meet, Zion.

I did, however, run into none multiple times and wound up hanging out with him quite a bit on the last day...along with some old-school AOL SW group guys, some of whom I've known online for centuries.  Some great times there!  The discussions we had on the last night were a blast, punctuated occasionally by the passing-by of a major or minor celebrity.  At one point we flagged down Ben Burtt for a short chat when he passed by our table at the hotel.

Come C6 (you know it's gonna happen), we really should organize some sort of ot.com get-together.  Discussing the unaltered trilogy, film preservation and other such topics is fun online, but it's even more fun in person with fellow-minded fans.

Honestly, hanging with some of those old-school guys would be the only reason I'd want to go anymore.
