OMG LUCAS ZOMG! (official confirmation) - Jon Stewart to inverview Lucas!

My reaction upon refreshing my inbox and seeing the email saying Lucas will appear at CV!! (I'm sorry, I hide behind a cynical veneer and pretend not to be a gushing fangirl, but deep down.... ZZOMG11 excitement wooooooo!!!!!!!11!)

Confirmation on the website

 

So it's Confirmed!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

That's so wizard!!!

I can see the torrential Orlando rainstorm that will fall on us before George's appearance. At least it shouldn't be as cold as it was in Indianapolis.

 

Hah! Nothing can be as bad as that night was in Indy.

I'm pretty sure I'm excited about this. Always cool to get to see/hear The Maker. Just hope it doesn't cause such a disruption in everything already going on that it hurts the show overall. But at least they learned back in Indy what happens when he shows up and they should hopefully be able to plan accordingly.

 

AWESOME!!!!!

I was at the Chicago 30th Anniversary screening at the beginning of the month and someone there asked if he was going to be at Celebration 5 and he said he didn't know yet. Glad to see it's official!!

At Celebration III, I decided to not wait out in the rain, so I missed out on seeing George Lucas. This time, I won't make that same mistake.

 

Same here.

 

I hope Uncle George comes to the Last Tour of Endor!


May 21, 1980 - May 21, 2010:

Happy Annniversary to "The Empire Strikes Back"!

 

George Lucas at the Convention

Sorry, it had to be done!

 

I was at CIV and stood out in the freezing cold and blowing snow for 6+ hours to see Uncle George and while I was cold, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I don't think I'll have to worry about snow this time while standing in line, and boy will there be a line! The pic below wasn't to see Uncle George but the Saturday line at CIII. Now here's what will by my only rub with Uncle George being there. I had the chance to pick up the Jedi Master VIP tickets but passed because I couldn't justify the cost for the perks listed, if he is part of their Meet & Greet I'll beat myself silly with a Gaffi stick for being cheap!

Man, am I a horrible fan in that I really am apathetic?

 

^ Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with a third tier of VIP tickets, one that trumps the other 2.

Call it... the Chosen One Package.

 

Nyaaaaah, not at all. George Lucas has done interviews before. He's probably said everything he has about SW.

Now, I could say the same thing about most of the actors, but they are professional entertainers. They'll make it interesting and fun. They want a laugh and to get a good review from the crowd.

Lucas is the guy working in the office. He may be the most authoritative and substantive guest you could possibly get when it comes to Star Wars, but that does not mean he has the best presentation ability or experience. That could matters a lot if a fan asks him a ridiculous question in a Q&A. A clever actor could get around that with a joke and a funny voice and move on. Lucas would be just like the rest of us and say, "What?" leading to an embarrassing pause for everyone.

 

He just made the trip worth it. Up to this point, it was not worth it.

 

Only planning necessary is coming to terms with the fact that you WON'T be getting much sleep in your hotel bed the night before, if any at all. Either pull an all-nighter in line, or retire early the previous day and sleep through the dinner hours.

 

Lots and lots of energy drinks......

 

I forsee the first ever blizzard in Orlando's history.

You've obviously never had to shift-work. Easy.

Besides which, I think the most sleep I got a night at CIV was about 4 hours.

 

As cool as that would be meeting him again, I do wish "Master Kershner" will be well enough to come after being too ill to attend Anaheim Comic Con this past April.

 

My friend got to george during CIII. She didn't even wait in line. She just happening to be walking around and someone handed her a bracelet to get in. I couldn't go CIII I was still healing after breaking my ankle earlier in the year.

Now I'm going to CV.. so excited that I might get a chance to see him.. Very cool. Now we need to get Mark Hamill to go.

 

I think we'd better start forming a line on Monday

 

I was sick the night before his talk at C3 and, therefore, missed his show. So I'm hoping (cross my fingers) that I will not be sick again. I really want to see him in person at least once.
