Celebration Anaheim 2015 - April 16-19 - Confirmed!

[Kenbenobi]

Well, without getting into any specifics, we will be helping the design team with ensuring that certain SW experiences in the park are as realistic as possible. They contacted us because we've been to most of the real world filming locations. So that should possibly hint at something.

As far as the tours... we're in the process of setting up a Fall tour right now. But if you're planning on going out to California for CVII in April 2015, I highly recommend you plan on staying a few extra days after the convention and go on that SWRT tour...

Any tours immediately BEFORE the convention? I'd prefer to do one before, cuz the con will tire me out, and I'll have bought a lot of crap...

Easy solution. Don't buy crap.

 

[furystorm]

Never buy crap.

I was still very much active with the R2 Builders and the filming locations stuff, building my own Landspeeder, etc.. Those are what kept the flame alive long enough for me to jump back into the fray.

You built your own Landspeeder?!?!?! Pics?

 

[IrishJedi]

Carl, do you guys go everywhere on the tour, including the west road?

Yup! All 8 major locations, over 2 days... with plenty of time at each for photoshoots, etc.

We'll be staying 2 nights in Death Valley (at the Furnace Creek Ranch). That would be the Monday and Tuesday nights. It's a 2 hour drive from there to Vegas (5 hours from/to L.A.).

Here's what we'll be visiting:

• Mos Eisley Overlook
• The Road to Jabba’s Palace
• Jawa Canyon (The Jawas’ Crevasse)
• Bantha Canyon
• Artoo’s Arroyo
• Sandcrawler Station
• Landspeeder Road
• Artoo’s Dunes

I expect it's easier to fly out of Vegas, then?

Yeah, that's what I would recommend.

fury will get on his knees and perform as a Jawa for the photoshoot.

[furystorm]

We should rent a 4 wheel drive for Landspeeder road!

I kid, but I wouldn't want to take our CR-V out there. Still wanna see it though.

 

[furystorm]

I'd love to have Artoo ready by then!

Hey! What happened to all of our feedback and blog entries usually under our user names?

 

[Darth Waller]

My feedback is there.

I want to do this. It would be freaking cool!

 

[furystorm]

My feedback is there.

Oh, mine is too now. Firkin weird.

 

[IrishJedi]

I want to do this. It would be freaking cool!

Well, it'll actually be a little hot. But, yes, also very cool.

DO IT!

It would be great. Especially with Carl's expertise. When I was out there, I didn't know quite what to look for. This would be great with a bunch of freaks, especially after CA15...

 

[Darth Waller]

At least I'd be able to fly home non-stop from Vegas on the way back.

 

[Kenbenobi]

Well, it'll actually be a little hot. But, yes, also very cool.

DO IT!

Better April than August!

But you had his book with you, didn't you?

 

[furystorm]

I honestly wonder where I will be living in April 2015.
