I'd love to see more panel discussions with guys like Rob Coleman and Dennis Muren - the "Men Behind the Magic".
The John Knoll and Ben Burtt panels were two of my favorite panels at CIV.
I could never get enough of listening to stories from the guys who are behind the scenes making the Saga that we all love.

For me it would be better screening of panel questions and turning off the mike when people go into the long diatribes. In two of the panels I went to the Q&A session was pretty worthless because in one the questions were about things that couldn't be answered, were pointless, or didn't make sense; and in the other only 4 people got time because people spent so much time saying how much they love what's being done and how it touched their lives - HELLO, you're at a SW convention, it might be assumed already.

Very good point. Those people who act like they're the biggest fans and no way.. no how could anyone else like the films more then they do drive me crazy. I'd personally be happy with mandatory deoderant checks. LOL! I've never been able to figure out how someone can't spend $3.50 on a stick of Old Spice but they can drop $650.00 on a replica light saber.
If you're at a Star Wars con, you're right. It should already be assumed your a fan and the films somehow touched your life. I imagine these peolpe get tired of the same questions over and over.

I personally would go if i had the money. The only cities I would travel to for a Star Wars Celebration would be Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, or Cincinnati. Maybe Nashville, TN!

I doubt Nashville though that would be awesome cause its really close. its horrible to drive in though. Cincinnati airport is one of the best airports i've ever been to, so it would be good for people that flies but i dont know how the convention center is

The convention center is not nearly as good as Indy. or L.A., but I would not mind if it were in Cinci. just so I would not have to pay for a hotel or parking and just catch a bus downtown.
But that's just me.

I think Cleveland or Pittsburgh would be nice. Extra fun things to do as well.
But, just wishful thinking, Chicago would be great, but who cares...I will be there.

The pattern is to announce a year in advance, but apparently it's been said they are waiting until after Celebration Japan. And since Celebration Japan is about the same time as Comic-Con, maybe they'll elaborate further during Steve's talk while he's down here for SW Day.

I know the time frame is right if we're going by what happened last time, but Sansweet said it would be addressed only after Japan.
Yeah, OK, but I was just hopin'... LOL. Just so folks can start making plans.
Would be nice, huh? If they hold off until mid summer, I wonder if the Con will still be held in the spring. Guess that's more then enough time. I don't have the dates in front of me. Were all of the Celebrations held in the same month?

No. Denver and L.A. were in May, but the ones in Indy were held in April (because the whole town is booked for the 500, in May  ).

With some careful investigation, we might be able to narrow down where this could be if it's in fact going to be April/May of 2009. Start listing potential cities and convention centers and then check their schedules. LOL! We should start a pool! LOL!

well i had checked the Chicago Con calendar and they've got nothing for April or May of next year.
Personally, i would like the convention to be held like the 2nd week of may or something close to that, I would go if it was Memorial Day weekend but i think it will be better if it wasnt cause there are a lot of people who goes and visits family that weekend and with thousands of fans heading one way... you know.
Indy is seriously booked till 2010, between proms and shows. it's ashame the Lucas Oil Stadium is a stadium, it would be cool to have a SW convention in a place named Lucas
St. Louis has got nothing that i can found that is booked
Cincinnati (is it just me or does it have 3 levels?) is booked till the 10th of May, after that they got nothing for the rest of the month
Pittsburgh has got most of the weekend spaces filled for may, I'm going with the convention lasting Thursday- Sunday, as for April they can squeeze it on the 23 (being thursday) and that weekend but they do have something already on the 22 so that's not going to work. The early weeks of April is fine.
That's all i got so far, all in all while some cities have nothing planned for right now they need to hurry up and choose a place and reserve it

I doubt they would choose a Memorial Day weekend again. That is a bad idea to choose that weekend. I think a June convention is better. During the peak driving season! Most kids are done with school or college. No major holiday travel to cause problems at airports for people! No winter weather to upset people. Indiana Convention Center is always booking alot of the smaller conventions 2-3 years ahead of schedule. Except for Gencon Indy, Drum Corm International and FFA convention. We really don't need a star wars convention that starts on a wednesday. 4 days is the perfect leangth of time. I am sure celebrity actors would be inclined to attemd shorter conventions than one that is long.
