Star Wars Celebration V: August 12-15, 2010. Orlando, FL

[jimjimmyjones85]

With Official Pix finally confirming I am feeling better about guests now.

Got a little more inside skinny on the VIP passes:

1) No price info (yet), but they will not be cheap

2) There will be 2 tiers... one with only 200 VIP tickets available, and the other with only 50 total.

3) Those who have already purchased 4-day passes will have first shot at the VIP upgrade.

 

[Bamboota]

Sounds fun to me.

Maybe I'm burnt out on autographs, but why wait in line for 1 hour to meet some actor and get him to sign something? Most of the time the guys are total douches anyways and don't want to be there. And you have to pay them!

(Inside joke)Meh, buy my autograph but don't look at me. Meh! I'm an artist!!(/Inside joke)

[jimjimmyjones85]

I thought they said Monday.

But man I am not sure I want to spend THAT much more on tix.

 

[IrishJedi]

Sweet...i got my 4 day tix already...when do these VIP upgrade start?

Within the next 2-3 weeks is what I heard. There should be an official announcement (with prices and details) by the end of next week.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Easy pass for me. :maul

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

jinx

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah... not nearly worth the extra $$$ to me.

 

[IrishJedi]

I'll break it down...

1 Celebration V VIP badge featuring exclusive poster art

Meh.

* 1 Celebration V badge lanyard
* 1 Celebration V Official show poster, rolled, complete with poster tube
* 1 Celebration V Souvenir Commemorative Show Guide

Available for everyone anyway.

* Limited Edition Celebration VIP T-Shirt
* Exclusive Celebration V VIP hat – Only for the Jedi Master package
* 10% off any one item in the Celebration Store

Meh to the exclusive VIP shirt/hat. The store discount is cool... if you plan on spending in the thousands.

* Celebration V VIP Concierge & Lounge. Check your coats, store your packages, ask advice, plan your afternoon, or just sit and put your feet up in a comfortable chair.

Meh. My hotel's just across the street.

* Personal Shopper for exclusive Star Wars merchandise. Your personal shopper will pick up your order at the Celebration Store and deliver it to your hotel room. (Limit one shopping trip)

* Private meet and greet with Dave Filoni, and voice actors from Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series.

Meh.

* 1 of 50 personalized prints from original art by Dave Filoni, signed for you at the meet and greet.

This is kinda cool, but nothing mind-blowing.

* A minimum of two exclusive meet and greet sessions in the VIP lounge with Star Wars cast and crew members.

Could be very cool, depending on who the celebs are. But it'd probably be someone like Anthony Daniels and Warwick Davis, not Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher.

* Dedicated Entrance to Celebration V Exhibit Hall. Sidestep the crowds and get right into the Celebration Exhibit Hall Experience.
* Half Hour Early Entry to the Celebration V Exhibit Hall
* Half Hour Early Access to the Celebration Store
* Express Access to Celebration Store checkout
* Express Access to up to (6) Celebration V autograph sessions in the autograph area. (Autograph cost not included)

Would definitely make things easier... but for $350-$750?? Nah.

* Reserved seating in Celebration Celebrity Stage
* Reserved seating in the Celebration Digital Stage

Not necessary.

Bottom line... unless you are a DIEHARD SW collector planning to blow tons of cash in the store, need all of the exclusive CV stuff, and want to feel like uber-SW nerd with special access and special uber nerd clothing then the regular $128 4-Day pass is a much, much greater value.

 

[Bamboota]

Great post IJ.....ur right....it's all pretty much meh.

 

[Shropt]

I was thinking about getting one of these but that price is a joke.

Sorry, but I'll hang out with all of the other groundlings.

C2E2 Star Wars Guest List Announced

Posted By Chris on March 26, 2010

From MediaAtLarge.net:

Star Wars Celebration V isn't officially until August in Orlando, but the festivities will get a kick-start at C2E2! Fans ready to start the Star Wars party early will find a mini-Celebration on the exhibit hall floor, featuring celebrities, autographs, and a special collectible T-Shirt that can only be found at the show.

From a Star Wars Celebration pavilion on the show floor, Star Wars stars from the films will be appearing through Official Pix, the official autograph and photo licensee of Lucasfilm...

•Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa) A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi (scheduled for Saturday & Sunday only)
•Ray Park (Darth Maul) The Phantom Menace
•Daniel Logan (Young Boba Fett) Attack of the Clones
•Amy Allen (Jedi Aayla Secura) Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith
•Orli Shoshan (Jedi Shaak Ti) Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith
•Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Revenge of the Sith

Not only will there be stars to meet, collectors can get their hands on an exclusive Celebration V/C2E2 T-Shirt that will only be available to those who purchase their tickets for Celebration V at C2E2. The tee gives a nod to both shows, and will be a treasure for Star Wars fans, and fans of Celebrations.

On stage, Lucasfilm’s Steve Sansweet will be speaking on Saturday, April 17th in the IGN Theater. The show starts at 1:15 PM, with Sansweet exploring the past -- the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back -- the present -- the exciting weekly animated series The Clone Wars -- and the not too distant future -- including Star Wars Celebration V.

Sunday, kids of all ages can learn to draw The Clone Wars characters at the Variant Stage at 1:00 PM, with Star Wars artists Katie Cook and Grant Gould. Drawing paper and pencils provided, or budding artists can bring their own sketchbooks.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away's Coming to Chicago!


Also worth noting, Dark Horse writer John Jackson Miller (Knights Of The Old Republic / Knight Errant) will be appearing as a guest at the show. Thanks to our own Jimmy Mac for pointing this out!

 

[gibby]

[meanstreak]

[jimjimmyjones85]

Leia confirmed for C5 also.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Any new additions

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Lol at Daniel Logan. Has that dork done anything since Episode II??? He was at Star Wars weekends a couple years ago and came across as a d-bag.

I actually met him in NYC and he was quite cordial and pleasant.

Spoke to me for a while.

He did say he has done some small things in his home country and has been in talks with Lucasfilm for the new Live Action TV series.
