Bingowings and I met up there. Patched things up over a spot of tea and laughed about so many of you that I can't even begin to recall the list. "What a lot of wankers," he said about so many of you, with me laughing so hard that our shared Earl Grey spewed out my nose.

Aww, look what you're missing out on!
Oh damn!
Not sure the universe could survive two Jaxxons showing up though. ;)
Where were you in '77?
In line for the canon panel. They stuck it in a tiny room and there are hundreds of people in line.
I guess that explains why I'm waiting on my bowler hat avatar.
My highlights thus far:
1) Revenge of the Sith in 3D* (crowd cheering when Anakin pulled his lightsaber on the younglings was quite something!)
2) JJ Panel & new trailer (the cheer when Han & Chewie were shown...)
3) Empire Strikes Back lost music with David W Collins
4) Carrie Fisher panel (she's mad and so charismatic)
5) Art of Ralph McQuarrie panel
6) Canon panel
Today: Smuggler's Bounty, Mark Hamill, plus a panel with Clone Wars composer Kevin Kiner if I can fit that in.
Tomorrow: Billy Dee, Doug Chiang, Gareth Edwards & Josh Trank, and Closing Ceremony.
*Note: I've personally dropped my anger about the prequels. They're not going away, they're firmly canon, so I might as well look for positives. My ire for the Special Editions and the lack of OOT will never be dropped.

Yeah! That little kid deserved it!!!
People continue to be weird.
Bloodthirsty crowd. O_O
Was the 3D conversion any good? ROTS was the one I would have gone to see in theaters had they kept to the release plan.
And yes, making peace with the prequels is key to a happy healthy life. A monthly dose of the Ridiculous edits helps too. ;)

Monthly? Even I don't watch them that much. ;-)

If by "making peace" you mean "shooting them dead and burying them in an unmarked grave in the middle of the desert", then I agree 110%. =P

Alright guys, I've went ahead and released a video breaking down the Star Wars: Battlefront in-engine footage reveal and the new trailer for the new movie The Force Awakens giving speculation on both. If you enjoy games and enjoy Star Wars and have the time to invest; watch the video. There's alot of info in here you don't want to miss.

Cheers!
*facepalm again*
*gives a faceplam instead*
So, are there dances or anything else going on at night during this shindig?

The quality of the prequels have nothing to do with the unavailability of the originals. They're just bad movies, and not even the worst movies ever made.
Okay, enough thread derailment.

I'm betting that the OOT will never be mentioned at Celebration. I mean why talk about an obsolete product that was discontinued 20 years ago that we ended up liking by accident?
They didn't talk about it. I was at a panel with Dennis Muren and one of the audience members asked about it because Dennis said he had recently watched a faded and scratched 35mm Return of the Jedi screening. Dennis didn't have any influence over releasing the the OOT so didn't have much to say. He understood the desire for it, but couldn't really do much about it.
I was at another panel with Kathleen Kennedy on the last day and I thought about asking there, but they didn't allow any questions from the audience.
No OOT announcement. Shocking.
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death
Yeah, that's not an overreaction...
Even if there were plans for a OUT release this fall, there is no way they would announce it the week after releasing the digital versions. That wouldn't make any sense, marketing-wise.
There is demand for it. It will happen sooner or later.

GlastoEls is there any chance you can tell me about number 3 please. Empire Strikes Back Lost music?
Amazing convention. Tobar and I met up and talked about all of you. Mostly how disappointed we were that most of you didn't come.
We saw so much and we missed so much. The decisions were absolutely heartbreaking most of the time, but I'm happy with what I saw and I can see a lot of what I missed on the YouTube channel.
The energy was incredible. It was like being in a room watching the trailers with all of your friends. The fact that you could turn to a total stranger and say "DID YOU JUST SEE THAT?!" and they would be just as excited as you was a great feeling. That connection we all had with not only each other, but the actors and crew on stage was awesome.

Yeah, my weekend was full of suck just to rub things in. :(
I hope it will return to the U.S. in 2017. It's going to be in London next year, correct?

Yeah, Wook. Tobar says there's a chance it'll be in Japan in 2017, but I could see them doing North America and foreign on alternating years as well. If nothing else, it's clear that they want to do more of them more often.
Plus there are always Star Wars Weekends at Disney World...

If I enter the park in costume, they may not let me leave. ;)
