	There has been a mention of a Celebration IV convention for the future in a recent article posted on the official site. Excerpt below: StarWars.com posted: Cinefex Trilogy Set to Hyperspace Members February 16, 2006 starwars.com was launched ten years ago this November. In that time, we at Lucas Online have viewed the site not as a traditional marketing tool, but rather as a celebration of Star Wars and true resource and community for its fans. This interaction took a leap forward with the full integration of the site and fan club in Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club. This marriage made possible a depth of inside access into Episode III never-before-seen with a Star Wars film. We look forward to bringing the same experience to our members with the two Star Wars television series in development, an anticipated Celebration IV event, next-generation Star Wars video games, special theatrical and DVD releases and whatever else the future has in store. Now we're just waiting on a date and location. Those of you planning to attend, start saving up! Also, thanks to Chris (DarthLucanas), who posted about this on the Foxboro board. -----signature----- Maj.

	There's alot of talk about this possible convention going on over on the rebelscum.com boards. The biggest debate of course is where it could possibly be held. There have been some heavy rumors of late that if LFL decided to have it in 2007 for the 30th anniversary that Indy may be out of the running. Pulling up the Indy Convention Center's calendar shows pretty much all of April & May book solid. Other locations being thrown out include Dallas, San Diego and Las Vegas (Yeah, Baby!) I guess there is a very strong possibility that Stephen Sansweet will be releasing any official confirmation at this year's Comic Con in San Diego. -----signature----- "What's so wrong about wanting power converters?"

	I'm really hoping that they'll announce something sooner than the end of July at Comic-Con. That gives folks less than a year to plan if CIV takes place in May 2007. ~Doc_Bev -----signature----- The Rebellion - http://www.rochesterfanforce.com Events Coordinator - http://www.garrisonexcelsior.com Echo Base XO - http://www.echobaserebels.com First Officer - http://www.usstranquility.com Katie Johnson 1998-2005

	I would definitely like to know before July as well. If I go I would probably check out the possibility of voluteering. I have also read that Anahiem and San Fran are other locations getting thrown out there. I was kinda hoping it would be in Indy, because I like the city and know my way around. But if it can't be there than they might as well have it somewhere warm. lol -----signature----- R.I.P.

	From what I have been told Vegas is more family oriented than most people think. I wouldn't mind it being there. My wife would actually come and go to the casinos and other locations near. Some of the Cali locations wouldn't be bad, especially near LA or Disney would be fun. I prefer Indy or Chicago though. Both old stomping grounds for me. -----signature----- R.I.P.

	Personally, I'd LOVE to see C4 in Vegas. Lots of hotels available at pretty reasonable prices. Lots to do when the convention isn't open, and because my wife is DYING to go back to Sin City, it's probably th only way I'm going to get to go. The reason Justin gave for C4 not going to Vegas is completely valid. They don't call the place Sin City for nothing. While at one time they were gearing themselves more towards families, that has started to swing back to a focus on Adults only. Another factor is that I can't see Lucas/LFL putting a convention in a location where there is alot of competition for the attendees dollar. Part of the reason the originally chose Indy was that it was easy to reach from pretty much anywhere in the continental US. Moving it out to SoCal pretty much alienates the entire country east of the Mississippi River. If Indy is truly out of the running, I'd have to believe they'd go to either Dallas, another Texas location, or maybe Chicago? -----signature----- "What's so wrong about wanting power converters?"

	I wouldnt mind seeing it in Vegas either. NYC is out of the question since the Javits center is too small and there are hardly any hotels within distance of the center. LA/Anaheim & SD would be cool. -----signature----- MEPA http://www.mepa-nyc.com G'Kar - "There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom" Sic Semper Tyrannis Veni Vidi Vici The Revolution Has Begun

	Rumor reported on the TF.N homepage: "Celebration 4 in the L.A. Convention Center, May 24th to 27th 2007" Please take this with a grain of salt, as for now it is PURE RUMOR. Nothing is official until Lucasfilm makes the announcement. Speaking of the announcement, it's also rumored that the news above will be announced sometime next month. -----signature----- "What's so wrong about wanting power converters?"

	L.A. might be good, but I don't like long flights. At least if you want to play some poker on the side while you're there, I believe the Bicycle and Commerce casinos (World Poker Tour venues) are in the area. -----signature----- Maj.

	Every bit of source over at the 501st forum is pointing the LA news to be accurate. Ray Park's manager said so at first, and one member talked to someone at the LA convention center over the phone, and "Star Wars Celebration" was slotted in May. I would start scoping out hotel and plane prices now -----signature----- I play with pixels. www.kevincouture.com

	For right now I am taking rumors as rumors. I wouldn't mind going to LA, but I am not sure if I will. It's not because I don't like big cities that is far from it I used to clown around Chicago all the time in college and was used to it. I am just not sure I want to pay the prices it will cost for hotels. Plus cab fair if you have to go back and forth from the hotel to the convention center. I really don't want to rent a car because who knows what the parking situation will be. My flight will be free for the most part thank god I fly often. lol -----signature----- R.I.P.
