ORLANDO Star Wars Convention: Star Wars Celebration V
Star Wars Celebration V is going to be held in Orlando Florida this weekend August 12-15th. The Special event will be held in the Orange County convention center, and commemorating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. The convention center will wind up being a 600,000 square foot theme park for Star Wars fans, with several celebrities on hand to sign autographs, and answer questions. Among them is rumored to be the man-in-plaid himself, George Lucas. The 501st Legion Storm Troopers, Vader’s Fist, will be on hand (as security?), and there will be 60 different droids to look at that are rumored to cost over $50,000 to build.
Saturday there is a “Last Tour to Endor”: party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to say goodbye to the parks’ Star Tours attraction which is going to be shut down for renovations until 2011.
And we couldn’t give you all this geek-tacular news without something awesome to look at:
