    Vader (GameStop) and Starkiller (FYE) shouldn't be too hard to get.

    Good luck trying to get that Lego set from Target.

    Completely different! Tomorrow would have been my last day in work before travelling.

    I'll think of something.....

    And if my country wasn't still banned from coming to yours! Still hard to believe this is reality sometimes.

    I am planning to visit GE on September 9th. Hoping that the crowd levels continue to remain low so that I can ride the attractions multiple times. I was really looking forward to visiting Disneyland’s GE during the convention, if for no other reason than to soak up the energy you get from being in a place like that with a lot of fans, but in that scenario I’d have gotten probably only get one shot at each of the rides. The last time I was at GE was last December, but as I was with company who wanted to experience the whole of Hollywood Studios I didn’t get to spend as much time in GE as I wanted.

    I got tickets for Tenet on 8/31. It's weird seeing a movie open on a Monday, but...2020.

    Nolan's perfect run of "fresh" rated films will continue.

    My showing is "sold out" although seating is greatly reduced. When you buy seats, it would then block off all adjacent seats next, in front and behind you. So the two tickets I bought took up a total of ten seats in the theater.

    I wish Celebration was doing an event like DC FanDome just put on. They did a great job!

    You would figure the Star Wars Show has the means and the know-how to do something like that fairly easily, and that it would be the default thing to do. Makes me think that they specifically decided not to do it.

    Now that I think about it, retailers could have also planned a Force Friday event on the 28th to coincide with it. That normally happens in early September anyhow.

    I was in Stockholm today, and it felt a bit strange to pass by Arlanda, the airport, knowing that my plan for today was originally to go there and stay at the cool jumbojet-hostel before catching my first flight Monday morning. Overall it feels strange passing by the biggest airport in Sweden, and not see any planes in the air.

    So in the main Star Wars Celebration Group on Facebook, there is a post where people are posting their most memorable pics from past Celebrations.

    Without further ado, here are 3 from Chicago...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
