Super-Con In San Jose, California

Posted By Mike on May 21, 2008

Friend of TFN, Olson, wrote to let us know about Super-Con which will be making its way to San Jose, CA this weekend...

"Young Boba Fett from AotC, Daniel Logan, will be a guest of Super-Con as well as Darth Vader actor and Star Wars effects artist C. Andrew Nelson. Clone Wars & Justic Leaguie animated series director David Bullock and SW comic artist Travus Charest will aslo be guests of the show.

In addition, Super-Con will be hosting the creater and original host of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Joel Hodgson ("Joel Robinson") and fellow MST3K castmates Trace Beaulieu (the original "Crow T. Robot"), J. Elvis Weinstein (the original "Tom Servo"), and Frank Conniff ("TV's Frank") who will be promoting their latest project, Cinematic Tintanic which had its debut at Industrial Light & Magic back in December. The cool part is that the convention's MST3K/CT panel will be moderated by C. Andrew Nelson! I've never been to a show where a celebrity guest from one franchise/show interviews celebritry guests from another franchise/show. It should be a real treat. And on Sunday, Richard Kiel ("Jaws" from the James Bond films) will be joining them. Four of Richard's films riffed on in episode of MST3K.

Other guests include Jorge Garcia ("Hurley" from Lost), Henry Thomas ("Elliot" from E.T.), and Wil Wheaton ("Wesley Crusher" from Star Trek).

Super-Con is being held May 17 & 18 at the San Jose Convention Center."

It's now the second day of Celebration Japan, and I'm finally getting caught up with all the goings-on from the first day! That's the funny thing about conventions...there's NEVER time to see it all and get it all done! So, if you don't mind, let's take a trip back in time to Saturday morning and check out a new gallery of fans waiting in line to get into the hall. This crowd descended into the show with a fury and excitement that was fun to witness. Their first stop? The Celebration store, of course!

Posted By Dustin on July 19, 2008:
I scored one of the new Clone Wars R2-D2's recently and have just added a nice photo gallery for all of those who have been afraid to open it. So far, I'm really diggin' this figure, both in design and function. There's a pop on third leg, and rocket boosters, two front door panels with fold up arms, a pop up sensorscope, and one more cool feature you'll have to see the video for.
