    Geez, a whole week without a rumour or speculation post?

    Dark days indeed... :p


    At this point, I too am starting to think 2010 would be better at least from a personal standpoint. We are already tentatively planning for conventions and vacations next year, C5 might be a bit of a nuisance the longer we have to wait for an announcement...

    Well a little bird told me some interesting news.

    Memorial Day Weekend.

    2010

    Toronto

    Then the little bird was silenced by men in black.




    and if you believe that I have some great property 10 miles east of Miami Beach I want to sell you.

    I would be happy for an excuse to go to not-so-central Toronto. :p

    Well, I believe Dragon-Con is the next big convention coming up in a few days.

    Maybe we get some C5-related info divulged there...[face_praying]

    Ya know, having just been at the FanExpo this past weekend, there is no reason Toronto couldn't hold a Celebration...

    Just sayin' is all... :D

    I think they should add a George Lucas flannel shirt exhibit. That would be sweet.

    I got a chance to speak with Mary Franklin for about 5 minutes at Comic-Con during a break, and she said the 'where" isn't for sure yet (still looking), but as for the "when" - she'd like it to be 2010, specifically for Empire's 30th anniversary. I agreed, and added that hopefully both the Clone Wars animated series and the live-action series will be airing by then. She agreed about that too, and said, "We'll see." :D

    I'm hoping for an announcement during Steve's panel at Comic-Con 2009. [face_praying]

    I overheard Mary talking about that, too. The location isn't important to me, but I do hope we'll have an announcement about the year, for heaven's sake, pretty doggone soon.

    since people have brought up talking to Mary at Comic-Con, I also talked to Mary a bit about it, and it seems 2010 is the more likely timeframe... and while Steve has speculated on some potential cities, Mary hadn't been in contact with their convention offices -- until they heard that Steve had mentioned them and then they contacted her...

    It's kind of funny, but Orlando posted almost the exact same article, see the link.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2008/07/14/story5.html?ana=from_rss

    both said in July that per Sansweet "a decision on where to take the convention could be made within six months"

    I rather figured that the next one would be for TESB's 30th, since the last one was for ANH's.

    Question is, is that enough time to get myself into shape? I'm not exactly a kid anymore (except in temperment).

    Considering it's currently September and most of 2008 is already over, I think we're all safe to say that 2009 is almost thoroughly out of the running. Don't you think? I mean, yeah, they could spring the con on us like they did for Celebration: Japan, but I'm not sure how likely that will be.

    Might see if I can get an opportunity to speak with Mr. Sansweet in October at Star Wars Fan Days II in Plano, TX. I doubt I'll get any more info than you guys already got from Ms. Franklin (thanks for sharing those tidbits, btw). But I guess it's worth a shot.

    I'm placing my bets on 2010. And hey, if it happens in 2009, then I guess I'll just have to save enough vacation time to make it there.

    Yeah, I've got a message into Mary, too, but I agree, 2010 looks more likely. We'll see if she has anything to tell me :).

    I just got back from DragonCon and while I was not in the room when Steve Sansweet said it, he said that they had done 3 major events in the last year and a half and they were a bit burned out for now, so 2010 is when they would aim for another Celebration. LA is definitely not a contender, at least until they build big hotels next to that convention center, which would be 2012 at the earliest.

    Is this particular part something Sansweet actually said, or is this just speculation based on the "bit burned out for now" comment?

    In any case, thanks for the info!

    Away for a few days and wow...all this chatter...lol.

    Yes, ditto Justin on that info. Please.


    I think we are looking at 2010. Too much to plan if it was going to be 2009. Doubt a Convention as C5 would be, could be completed and designed by then. Well, look at the bright side, we can save more mulah...lol.


    Would love to see it in Indy again, just for ****s and giggles.


    Hugs!!!

    2010 would work for me. Give us enough time to prepare because Spring 2009 is approaching insanely fast. Even though Chicago is the closest rumored city to me, I hope it'll be elsewhere.

    To me, 2010 and celebrating 30 years of ESB is better than having it in 2009 to celebrate TPM and/or the 10th anniversary of C1.

    The prequels had their "assigned" Celebrations - time for the next two Celebrations to continue to honor the rest of the OT.

    This is what a couple of people told me Sansweet said in one of his DragonCon panels when asked about Celebration. So, unless I misheard or they change their minds, it looks like it's 2010.
