Calgary Six-Movie Star Wars Marathon at Celebration IV

Six-Movie Star Wars Marathon at Celebration IV

Fans attending the Star Wars 6-Movie Marathon will receive one of the commemorative buttons created just for the event.

The Star Wars party at Celebration IV in Los Angeles this May just got even better. On Wednesday May 23, fans will have the opportunity to kick-start their Celebration weekend with a U.S. first: a free Star Wars 6-movie marathon event.
Beginning at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, May 23, fans and movie buffs will have a chance to attend the screening of the entire, epic Star Wars saga on the big screen, beginning with Episode I The Phantom Menace and ending with Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The approximately 17-hour program (including intermissions) will lead into the five days of non-stop festivities that will commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars throughout the rest of the Memorial Day weekend.

The six-movie Star Wars saga is set to be screened in Hall K at the Los Angeles Convention Center in a venue created for this one-time-only event. The tickets, free of charge for those attending Celebration IV, are scheduled to go up for reservations at 9:00 AM PDT, Thursday, March 15, and initially will be available exclusively to fans who have purchased admission to Star Wars Celebration IV. Admission badges can be purchased, and movie marathon reservations made, online at the official Star Wars Celebration site.

Those attending the six-movie marathon will receive a commemorative button, and bragging rights to have been Among the first to watch the entire saga in order at a U.S. screening.

Tickets to the Star Wars Saga movie marathon are available to those who have purchased admission badges to Star Wars Celebration IV, but seating is limited and reservations for tickets must be made in advance. The marathon is free for Celebration IV attendees, but fans should register now at the Celebration IV registration website to make sure they don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime event. Tickets will be available beginning at 12 noon EDT and 9 AM PDT on Thursday, March 15.

Residents of the United States who register online before March 30, 2007 can have their tickets mailed to them. Fans who pre-register by April 30, when online registration for Celebration IV closes, will be able to pick their tickets up at a will-call desk at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

After the movie marathon on the 23rd, Celebration IV opens to fans with a special "sneak preview" day exclusively for Official Star Wars Fan Club members on Thursday, May 24. Celebration IV opens to the general public on the anniversary day, May 25, which is also the day the gala Opening Ceremonies will be held. The show runs through Memorial Day, Monday, May 28.

WHO'S IN, I KNOW I AM!!!!!!!!

 

Don't we fly in that day???

 

Yeah...

I think we will have our own 6-Movie Marathon in our room...with BEER!!!

 

I'M REGISTERED!!! Start changing your flights...

 

This irritates me a bit. Information like this should've been organized and released LONG ago. They KNOW many anxious fans already booked their hotels and flights as soon as C4 was announced! It's difficult and more expensive to try and change either now.

We arrive around 9 am, don't we? By the time we get to the hotel and stow our baggage (if they even let us check in that early), we'll have missed TPM and much of AOTC. We won't get a chance to look around (no Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles) if we're in watching the marathon - which won't end until midnight.

I'm not so sure I want to do that. I mean, YEAH it's the SAGA and it's a fantastic way to kick off the convention - but I've already watched it with the people I consider important

 

I think we should do our own the weekend before. I'm not changing my flight. AC has enough of my money.

 

If we reserve a pass, do you think they'd let us just come in time to watch the OT in the evening??

 

I'm with PreludeRM, Let's have our own movie marathon ahead of time, and then wander around LA a bit when we get there.

 

I'm so terribly weak willed ..............

After some consideration and discusion with my roommate Mr. Dooks..... myself, Ryan and Stacy have registered for this event.

We figure, even if we show up later, we will still be able to attend at least the OT viewings in the evening. Still going to find out if we can do this, however, we've already got the passes, so really, our spots are reserved regardless. On the registration site, it showed that 2776 spots were left - so it's being held in a VERY LARGE room.

 

A new hope cannot be missed as the experience of seeing these movies with fans that really appreciate it is a once in a life time feeling. Watching the movies was one of the many highlights for myself at C3.

 

Well, I reserved a ticket, just in case. And hey, they're FREE!!!!

 

Although I haven't made plans to attend C4 (I know; I'm a heathen) if the FF does show all six the weekend before or so, I'd like to attend as well.

 

Jay and I have booked for that event. Jay says in the past there are 1/2 hour breaks between each film and you can come and go as you please as long as you have your ticket. We plan on going in for the classics at least, we will probably miss the first two films.
