Not that wikipedia is the greatest source in the world, but I found this:

Lucasfilm has announced that a US-based four-day Star Wars convention called "Celebration V" will be held in either 2010 or early 2011. Steve Sansweet, director of content management and head of fan relations for Lucasfilm, announced that Baltimore, Minneapolis, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Orlando, Florida are competing to host this event.[16] Organizers anticipate that 30,000 Star Wars fans would attend no matter which city was selected.[

As one who lives in California it looks like I would have to travel to go to this. It better be good and have a lot of great guests! I attended Celebration IV in Los Angeles and it was a great convention. But I was surprised to find more of the major SW stars at the San Diego Con, including Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher!

I agree...Do not trust Wikipedia.

However, the information listed was already known for months.

But...Thank you for the post...Great find!

I think that the Wikipedia post might be a public nudge to get CV going?

I'm not in a hurry for another Celebration. It would be fun, especially in Indianapolis, but sometimes I think that the anticipation of a Celebration is nearly as much fun as the event itself.

Well Steve mentioned over a month ago that they were 2 months away from signing a contract. Which would make the 2 month mark right around Comic Con.

As they asked G4 to live broadcast the Star Wars Spectacular at Con, I'm placing money that we're going to be getting a CV announcement.

He was awfully mum about it the other night... I think we're getting an announcement, but he's being very, very secretive -- more than usual! 8-)

Did you try slowly waving your hand in front of his face when you asked him? wink

Right now, I'm hanging my hopes on Comic Con.

(Which I will go to one of these years - I know I keep saying that, but next year if the economy's better, maybe that'll finally be the year. tongue )
