Sideshow will be offering not one, but two convention exclusives at Celebration IV. They won’t tell us what right now, but they promise to hint. Tease.
CIV: Fan films and droid builders
Two Celebration veterans are confirmed to attend C4 – the R2-D2 Builders and the Fan Film Awards.
Nice work if you can get it
Official Pix (aka the autograph folks) are looking for a metric ton (320!) of volunteers for Celebration IV. With those numbers, perhaps they’re also planning to storm the Bastille?
So how ’bout that Celebration IV?
First, there was yesterday’s announcement about Official Pix and the autograph hall. Today, Starwars.com members will find in their inbox the latest Homing Beacon, which confirms much that’s already been said and details what perks fan club members get – mainly first access to a variety of areas: store, exhibit hall, art show, fan fair hall, archives, and two ‘exclusive’ film tracks.
Film tracks, huh? The movies and Clone Wars cartoons like at C3, or perhaps something… different?
Get Legacy in hardcover
Star Wars Shop is offering an exclusive hardcover edition of Legacy: Broken, the first collected story arc of the way-way-way post-NJO comic. It ships in May – the paperback version is due in April.
We also get the news that Jan Duursema is scheduled to be at Celebration IV – I believe this makes her the first confirmed guest. (Although more are certainly on the way.)
This is awesome
Boston conventions have a Hygiene Ninja. Okay, yes, the link is a wank report about how the Hygiene Ninja offended someone, but still. The Hygiene Ninja. Think we can get him or her to come to GenCon? Pretty please?
Get your Celebration Europe tickets Friday
The Celebration Europe box office will open at 9am GMT Friday. According to the Time Zone Converter that’s 4am EST and 1am PST – short notice!
Meet interesting people and costume them
Fan groups, it’s time to start applying for space in the fan exhibit area at Celebration IV! And this is interesting:
In addition to applying for free exhibit space, fan groups and individuals can submit proposals for fan-sponsored events, entertainment, panels, or exhibits.
Hmm…
CIV registration open for business
It’s (almost) heeeerrreee
Celebration IV registration opens on October 30 at noon PST! A 4-day adult badge is $110.
