Celebration Europe in London July 2007!

Agreed,

The more Americans the better

 

Do we have any rumours or speculation at all to guests yet?

 

well,i'm gonna be there...
not sure if that counts.

 

That's it then, who else do we need but Jamie Richards??

I have plenty of speculation regarding guests but it's so good I don't believe it so will wait for it to be confirmed. Lots of things get said in the run up to shows, but there will be some 1st time convention appearances included.

 

This sounds very interesting.
I'll be there this time... I don't have to fly. I could even take the whole journey by train.

 

There is now a dedicated forum for Celebration Europe located [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fanforce_star_wars_celebration_europe/b10764/]here[/link], but please keep checking here too

 

yeah baby, YEAH!!!

 

This is going to be great - best idea they had in ages. And there's so many nice British actors they could invite as guest. Mmmm.... guests...

 

This better not turn into 'oh yeah, and theres 1 in london as well'
We better get some good high profile guests just like the US gig.

 

Some bloke called George is coming and he's got Rick with him!

 

Really? Well, I saw him in Indianapolis last year, and while that was fun I'm not sure I'm up to queueing in the very cold rain without an umbrella again. It was worth it, mind, but I've never been so cold. Very strange weather in that town.

But I'd like to see Rick, though. Didn't dare at CIII, 'cause he was bound to talk about ROTS, but now it'd be nice.

 

Hi guys! Oh you're SO LUCKY! A huge SW convention right in your own city?!! Wish I could fly in, crash the party and hang with you lot again.... but saving for TWO big conventions so close together is nigh impossible. Guess we'll just have to trade stories and pics once it's all done.....

 

Thanks Yrol
Such a shame you can't make it but perfectly understandable. I'm sure we'll have plenty of stories and piccies to swap though

No need to stay spoil free now Kee, plus July is likely to be hot so no freaky weather like last time....maybe a dash of rain but it is England after all

I don't think CE will be the little sister to C4 LA. I hope we'll have plenty of great news to announce for it in the coming months!!

 

I went to Memorabilia in Birmingham yesterday.

Collectormania had a stand there to promote their upcoming events in October and November (which includes new Superman Brandon Routh doing signings!). Since I knew their group was organising Celebration Europe I asked what she knew about it;

No firm date (at least that she knew), just "July".

They're after the "Big" names - she mentioned Mark Hamill, Ewan McGregor and Samuel Jackson.

They're looking at George Lucas attending, but if he does he probably won't be signing.

Of course none of this is confirmed until it's announced officially and the stars confirm their attendance.

If I get to any of the Collectormania's I'll try and find out more!

 

i got told about that brandon routh signing yesterday,too...
don't know wether to laugh or cry.
he was good in superman returns.

 

What show is Brandon Routh doing?
I'd imagine he may charge a few bob but I'd be very tempted

 

Normally its 'has-beens' at the end of their careers that turn up to shows to do signings. Doesn't say much for Routh's career does it? Actually I do agree with Jamie (for once); he was rather good in SR.

 

ooh,you cynical old cow!
no...wait...actually,you're right.
damn.

matt,i think it's going to be the next manchester event...
i'm going,that's all there is to it... i'm going.
never got to meet christopher reeve.

 

well you could meet christopher reeve if you had say Derek Acorah with you

 

He's doing the November show at GMEX in Manchester.

 

Cheers guys, I headed over to the SM forum and found out that it would be G-MEX 2 and that he's only just signed on the dotted line. I will try my best to make the show but I'm not 100% yet, but well worth the trip, plus it's Tim Bolton's and Jase's (EdgeJedi) birthday that weekend too!!

Anyway, back to CE....a small reminder that we have a suggestion thread in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fanforce_star_wars_celebration_europe/b10764/p1]main CE forum[/link] , so please let us know what you'd like to see as we hope to meet with the boss man during Empire Day this coming Sept 10th

 

derek ancora???
why is it every time he channels some spirit they sound like an camp scouser redcoat?
why doesn't he make a sound like that demon in the exorcist?
or anne robinson.

 

Bah, Manchester. Im trying to cut down on shows and save money for CE. The new DVDS at £14 each doesnt help.

 

Does anyone know what ticket price will be for this?

If it's fairly reasonable I'm booking a ticket as soon as possible.

 

No prices as yet, and I doubt there will be for a while. CIII was made available closer to the end of the year, and that was for an April event the following year.
