Star Wars Presence At MegaCon 2010 Posted By Mike on February 25, 2010
Are you finding yourself twitching uncontrollably for the time to pass by before Star Wars Celebration V rolls around? Fear not, as fans will be able to get their Star Wars fix a little sooner courtesy of the upcoming MegaCon event.
"There will be an official Star Wars presence for the first time this year at MegaCon the popular Orlando, Florida fan event that attracts top comic and pop-culture guests, lots of exhibitors, and more than 30,000 attendees over three days. The show takes place March 12th to 14th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando -- not coincidentally the location of Star Wars Celebration V this coming August 12th to 15th.
Lucasfilm's head of fan relations, Steve Sansweet will be available along with a representative of Reed Expo, Lucasfilm's partner in Star Wars Celebration V, at the 501st Legion's booth, #1130, during the course of the show. Feel free to tell us what you would like to see at Celebration V! Advance discount tickets for Celebration V will be available for sale at the booth.
In addition, Steve will be involved in three Star Wars panels:
Celebrating Star Wars: Join Steve Sansweet as he explores the past -- the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back -- the present -- the exciting weekly animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- and the not too distant future -- including Star Wars Celebration V. Saturday, Room 222 A, 11:50 am - 12:40 pm
Everything Star Wars: Join Ray Park, Jeremy Bulloch, Maria de Aragon, Dave Barclay, and Peter Mayhew for a Q & A. Moderated by Steve Sansweet. Saturday, Room 222 A&B, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The Wacky World of Star Wars Collecting: The author of 13 Star Wars books, Steve Sansweet has collected some amazing memorabilia over the years -- and some truly bizarre items. Join him as he explores a little of both. Sunday, Room 222A, 1:10 pm - 2:00 pm"
UPDATE: Our friend Simon sent over the following information regarding some more Star Wars fun headed to MegaCon:
"Not only is this year the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, it's also the 30th anniversary of the Eighties. What better way to celebrate than by going to a show combining the two. A Long Time Ago... Star Wars: The Eighties Strike Back; Picture Show Edition! In the original Lake Howell HS show, they perform the Original Trilogy with Eighties flare. This time, you get a chance to sing along.
A Long Time Ago... Star Wars: The Eighties Strike Back; Picture Show Edition! is being performed at MegaCon in Orlando on March 13th at 9:15 P.M."
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
