SFers looking for something to do this weekend? Well, there are several Star Wars-centric events going on at WonderCon, including a You Can Draw panel, a LFL-sponsored SW Costume Prize, Lucas Licensing Portfolio Review and a showing of SW fanfilms. There’s also a ‘Tournament of Roses “Star Wars Spectacular” Parade Experience’ panel with several of the 501st participants on Sunday. Other stuff to see include the first showings of 300 and previews of Spider-Man 3 and Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille.
Convention updates
AICN reports from WonderCon. Not much news, but confirmation that Celebration 4 is still in consideration for 2007.
Of more interest may be RebelScum’s coverage of Toy Fair – they have galleries of many of the new toys coming out, including Gentle Giant’s super cool Star Wars Animated line, which are original trilogy figures done in the style of the Clone Wars cartoon. The chioces are a little odd – Vader, Leia, Boba Fett, and… an Ithorian?
It also appears there’s a Mara Jade mini-bust coming out, the first Mara figure over an inch tall since the POTF2 figure back in ’98.
