Wasn't someone saying, that CV, if held in 2009, would be in the fall and not in the spring/early summer?! If so, then thee is plenty of time to make the announcement.
Coming from Europe, I hope it will be in a city with lots of other stuff to experience as well.
L.A. was great for this. I was there with 4 friends and we were there for 2 weeks seeing three themeparks and some of the city as well.
I hope to be back for CV but I also hope for an interesting place to do some sightseeing.
Nothing bad said, but some citys are more interesting for sightseeing than others, I am just hoping for one of the more interesting.

But...I know keep dreaming!!!!
My biggest plausible one (since I doubt Ewan would ever come) is Frank Oz. I would SO love to meet that man.

Agree 110%, Miana. Meeting the man behind everyone's favorite "little green friend" would be a true gem indeed.
My wife absolutely LOVES Yoda, and to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Oz would be the top highlight of her C5 experience.

No, can't say I've read this anywhere. It's always been held in the Spring, around the time that the movies opened, give or take a couple of weeks. I can't see them switching dates, unless TPTB really have their hearts set on a particular convention center, and there are no free dates until later in the year. But it would be a big surprise to see this happen. And if it's in the fall, that would really impact the school year - not that it doesn't at the moment, of course  .

I remember being a little surprised to see C4 scheduled for the same time of year as the previous three: I had thought that, without the need to coincide with a new movie, they'd move it up into June or later to when more schools were out.
OTOH they were trying to coincide with the 30th anniversary of ANH's initial release. And perhaps there is more competition for convention space at such times. Or they know holding it during school doesn't impact attendance. Or something else.

Don't blame me, I voted for Valorum.

Well, NP, as the numbers indicate, having the convention during a school year certainly doesn't seem to matter for attendance . "If you [hold] it, they will come" 8-).

I could not see LFL holding a Celebration during the Fall. That would bring added weather-related issues in addition to the children heading back to school.
I personally love the May timeframe. Keeps it right in line with the release of SW and maintains that connection to the film that started it all.

Aren't kids still in school during May? I know here in Baltimore they go until June. Doesn't matter. I'd keep my son out for a few days... wouldn't hurt anything.

As a NYC resident, I'd have to say that NYC is NOT the place for C5. The Javits is not big enough and hotels are no where near by, you'd need to take a taxi or bus to get to the center everyday. NYC has New York Comic Con (it's 3rd year this year) and the first year, the Fire Marshall had to close the center down for 1 hour because of overcrowding  .
My vote is for Baltimore or another east coast city that I could easily drive to

I live out on the island, and I couldn't agree with you more. NYC would be the WORST place to host C5 for the reasons you mentioned, let alone the sheer traffic mayham that would ensue.
I'm all for an East Coast location - but not here in NY.

WOWSA...I love the way this thread is going, all the anticipation and "fingers being crossed" ... outstanding.
I am so excited I could pop a button. I have been checking all sorts of things for C5. Val is right, the time schedule is right on cue. I too looked over C3 and C4 stuff, that I had from the past, and it all adds up. I do not see a C5 in fall, I am certain it will be in April or May.
Justin - love your comments. You always excite me with your excitement and enthusiasm. I forgot about OZ...that would be a great addition to the signers club. Yoda rules...lol.
So, now we wait...like standing in line for a new Star Wars movie. This is where all the excitement comes from...the anticipation and crowds of people...all joining in one mission...To go to a galaxy far, far away...AGAIN!!!
OOOOO, can't wait!!!
Anyone wanna bombard Steve with questions? lol
