CEII Celebration Europe II July 26th-28th 2013, Essen, Germany

I hope that you guys get some great Ep7 info there!

 

I am really looking forward to going to CEII with my daughter who is studying opera in Cologne.

 

Looking forward to CEII, I thought I would post a video shot at CVI with Daniel Logan and others commemorating our 25th Annivseray that my wife and I recently celebrated. Here it is:

 

Yeah, the timing of CEII sure was an interesting coincidence. Perhaps there'll be a big announcement for this summer.

 

I noticed your sig. If some good stuff happens at the celebration, are you keeping spoiler-free or does that debate end?

 

I'm not against any new info, it's not like they're going to give away the entire plot or anything.

I do want to know who is directing it and who is starring and who they will be playing in the films.

 

Sadly I'm no longer able to attend Celebration Europe- my Mum has booked a family holiday over that same weekend

 

Can someone please give me some advice

I attended the 2010 event using a VIP Jedi membsership, I got everyones autograph at the time, is it worth me going this time as I live in England.

I will be in USA from 5th July until 23rd July so I need to know to go

 

So, due to a recent cash flow increase I may be able to make this trip after all. I'm trying to crunch some numbers to see how much $ I'm going to need and I had some questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to in English. So I thought I'd see if there's any helpful locals or people who read German...

- the CEII web site says Dusseldorf is only about 17 away by train but how late/early do the trains/buses run?

- Is it really practical to stay in Dusseldorf instead of Essen? Especially since I found myself walking back to my hotel some time between 2-4 am at least once the last two celebrations I've been to...

- I hate driving do I really need to rent a car or can I get by with public transport and walking?

 

I would so love to go to this but I need something a lot closer to me.

 

I'm thinking about going! A great opportunity to visit Germany as well

 

Coming is in consideration for me.

 

Yep. Thanks. I could barely get the net to tell me there are trains, never mind a time table.

 

I'm a local, and will be staying outside of Düsseldorf. Have an apartment there.

You won't need a car, since trains offer very frequent services until late into the night. However, you can expect it to get very full with all the people attending Celebration.
I'm willing to help out anyone visiting from outside Germany, if you have any questions.

 

Wo der best donner Kebab in Essen ist?

 

It's pratical to stay in Düseldorf actually, but close to the train station. Trains between Düsseldorf and Messe Essen. So it's a good option if you can't find an appropiate accomodation. However, I'm afraid all the youth hostels, if that's your budget limit, will most likely be already booked out for those days.

Everyone, you can also try www.airbnb.com, which rents out rooms and apartments directly from private persons.

No car is necessary, unless you also plan to stay longer and visit the surrounding landmarks.

 

I'm very excited for Celebration Europe 2! Were I live I don't know about any other Star Wars fan heck the majority of the people I come in contact with (say, school) hasn't even seen them (which also means I will be attending "alone")... I'm very excited to meet so many Star Wars fans and SW celeberities like Dave Filoni as well as visiting panels focusing on CW season 6 and (hopefully) episode 7! I don't really like to travel and be away from home for long but heck this is going to be fun! Is the Jedi Council Forums going to have a "party" there too I wonder? Who would I meet? How about you Obi anne?

 

Heading over from Scotland myself. I was hoping I could take my son to his first Celebration but sadly with cost of flights etc can't afford to. Haven't been to a Celebration since the first Celebration Europe where I was lucky enough to perform so very much looking forward to this and meeting like minded fans. Excited to see what panel's & Q&A's are announced and if we get any early info on what to expect from Episode 7.
