Celebration VI Confirmed - Orlando August 23-26, 2012

[furystorm]

An Hour with Anthony Daniels or the Ralph McQuarrie Retrospective.

Sorry, Mr. Daniels.

Mark Hamill on Friday at 7:30-8:30. What time is the 501st Bash?

EDIT: Starts at 9:00.

I hope you know I'm going to be like an annoying little brother type and shadow you around this con. Prepare yourself, we have a few similar likes!

Dude, I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[Shalamar]

GAH. So much happening at times I already have commitments for!

I figured we'd all most likely be going to the same things. It'll be like the Robot Chicken panel from CV, except times 10000000!!!!!!!!

Although I refuse to go to panels about knitting or quilting or whatever to get some stupid cereal box, Richard. lol)

Yeah, I think I'm out of the collector panels this time.

Good, good.

It sucks that TPM is playing in 3D Thursday evening during Kevin Smith. I missed it when it came out earlier this year.

Have the little gifts for attending a panel been released? I want a Crumb, Ackbar or Wampa

I missed the Robot Chicken freak hangout last time. I'm down for similar panels, but we all have to remember the time commitment to being in line for some of these Celebration Stage panels...

I spent at least three hours waiting for Mark Hamill last time!

 

[furystorm]

Can't wait for CVI...

16 more days!

I'd rather enjoy the convention, than wait in line for 3 hours.

 

[furystorm]

I know, but how else to see one or two of the big draws?

Ian would be one for me I think...

The last set was revealed yesterday. None of those 3 are part of that line.

Yeah, that's the sad thing. You have to miss some panels to wait for another one.

 

[UTtoyfan]

I'm gonna be in line for the Clone Wars premiere, so I know I'll be waiting a lot on Friday for sure.

 

[UTtoyfan]

And you're up too early, Waller!!!

 

[Shropt]

I want to do the Robot Chicken thing but I'll be running really late for it. Hopefully I can sneak in at the back of the line.

It's a noon Friday and Saturday. Maybe the other day will work out better.

I know most of us were there last time, but I thought I'd post a link to a PDF of the floorplan to help with planning. The OCCC website now just has an interactive map that's not printer-friendly, but the PDF is.

Wow, 3 hours, really? I haven't been to a Celebration since CIII. I sorta assumed they had the wait times down a bit since then. Is the 3 hour wait typical, or just for a big draw like that? How about smaller panels, like collector panels? How much wait time can I expect?

Which would you suggest: go to Hamill's panel (my favorite SW celeb/character) , or attend the 501st Banquet for which I already have tickets (I could sell them)?

The longer waits are usually for things like Hamill. I waited 10-15 minutes for the collector panels.

I thought the 501st Bash doesn't start until 9:00 pm. Or is there a 501st event before that starts?
