Lit Celebration VII Anaheim & The Literature Forum

With C7 only a few weeks away now, the initial schedule has been posted via the mobile app (guess they'll have it online soon?). This thread will be for general discussion of news and happenings at the con as they pertain to the NU/EU & Lit folks hovering abouts.

Haven't had time to dig through every schedule entry yet, but it looks like the most notable ones will be on Saturday:

Saturday:
11:30-12:30- New Adaptations of the Star Wars Saga from Disney Worldwide Publishing
1:00-2:00- Star Wars Comes Home to Marvel
2:30-3:30- Star Wars at Del Rey
4:00-5:00- Tribute to Aaron Allston

Unfortunately the Rebels Season 2 premiere screening is at 5 also, so I might be ducking out of some of these early if I hope to get a seat...

There's also a lot of to be determined Star Wars University panels spread around, which were very interesting last time (particularly Aaron's, alas ).

 

I have a feeling I'd have a harder time convincing him to come to a party this time around if I stole his hat.

EDIT- Or, I suppose, it could be incentive. "Got your hat! if you want it back, come to a party!"

"But... I was going to go anyways!"

 

As much as I really want to see the Rebels premiere, I'm going to find it really difficult to leave Allston's tribute panel early.

 

Yeah it's a tough call. Aaron was such a great part of the last 4 Celebrations and I'd hate to miss the tribute. At the same time, I've managed to see every special TCW theatrical screening so far and would like to continue that streak with Rebels... and, quite frankly, the other panel lineups on the other days seem a bit sparse to my interests and the Rebels premiere would balance that out healthily.

Though there is a very real possibility that the line will already be cut off even if I leave the Del Rey panel early, so the choice may end up being made for me.

Come to think of it, I think that happened last time with an EU panel and the TCW screening being almost back to back- I was just lucky enough to know a VIP that could get me in as their +1, but I won't be so fortunate this time around.

 

Damn, the screenings are THAT packed? Well, there's zero chance of being able to run from the end of the Allston panel to make it, then.


Missa ab iPhona mea est.

 

Sigh. That's awful. But it's at least an easy call to go to the Allston memorial over the premiere.

And seriously, talk about scheduling problems! I'm really bummed about missing the podcast. I will gladly accept the wristband though!

Yeah, the screenings get filled up quickly because everyone wants to go- especially since it's the "red carpet premiere" with cast & crew and such before hand.

And while one can eventually see Rebels S2 premiere at home- this'll probably be the only chance to see it theatrically. They might even edit them together for the occasion too (though they didn't do that for TCW Maul premiere).

But if it ends up being impossible to get in, I'm perfectly happy seeing the Aaron tribute.

My only remaining dilemma is deciding if I should spend the cash (and time) to get Mark to sign (if he is signing) my Rogue Leader (Mindor cover) art print- last time he charged way too much but it'd almost be worth it for that singular piece.

 

geez, is EVERYTHING on Saturday??

But getting JJM is at least a nice consolation for not being able to make Rebels. I'll aim for the Luceno one too, naturally. I'll have to make some Ars Dangor comment. Although then I'll run the risk of finding out that the Ars Dangor thing had nothing to do with me, and I may have to flee the convention in tears.

 

That is indeed the plan!
