    I volunteered back at C2 or C3 and got the autograph area. I don't remember who was handling it back then. But they did give us a really nice packet of autographs as "payment". I got Carrie, and a couple minor players auto's from it. I need to go find them, they are in storage bins in my attic from way before I got married.

    It was OPix. It was always nice that they “paid” us in autographs.

    I had looked up volunteering for TOPPS and unlike OPix you couldn’t pick how long to volunteer and they didn’t give you anything so I didn’t bother

    A true volunteer seeks no reward.

    Well if I could ensure that I would be Hayden's handler I wouldn't be looking for a reward but with the restraining order in place.... sigh

    One day he will realize we are meant to be

    Most likely the last running (albeit virutal) of a SW event for runDisney for some time. I did the event 3 out of 4 years they had it, it was real enjoyable. Sad to see it most likely go form the race calendar.

    Covid took out another one. Star Wars show is going on hiatus until things go back to normal.

    He was one of the kindest and funniest persons on the con circuit for a long time. Even if I'm not a Boba fan I always went to see a panel with Jeremy on it, because I knew that he was just such a good guy and storyteller. My best con experience ever was when he was doing improvisation theatre with the audience at Jedi-Con, I think it was back in 2008. I had lost my voice due to the flu, I wasn't sure that I would be able to go at all just a few days ahead of the con, I was so sad that couldn't go up on stage (since I couldn't speak) but I was sitting on he audience just laughing as much as I could. I don't think it helped with my vocal recovery.

    Watch The Mandalorian ASAP. That’s all I’ll say. Spoilers in my Twitter feed, spoilers in my Facebook feed. Damn internet.

    That's why I get up at 3 AM on Fridays. :p

    I'm sorry it got spoiled for you.

    I will add to make sure to watch through the credits.

    I'm so happy I was spoilerfree, but had gotten to know about the post-credits scene.

    I am already dreaming of meeting a group that is cosplaying the assault team at Celebration.

    We sure know what the hot convention exclusive is going to be in 2021. I'm sure Hasbro and Sideshow have some business coming their way.

    To answer my own question earlier in the thread, it seems like we’ll have Book of Boba Fett and Mando season 3 by next Celebration, and probably Bad Batch.

    Yeah I think it will be Bad Batch (early-ish 2021) and Book of Boba Fett (Dec 2021) for next year then Mando season 3 (early 2022) with Andor and Obi-Wan at some point that year and Ahsoka and/or Rangers to finish 2022. So Celebration will probably come between Andor and Obi-Wan (whichever way round they go).

    I assume The Bad Batch will be the next Star Wars show to air. There's a good chance a future season will be featured at Celebration.

    We’ll probably be on the second season of Bad Batch. By 2022. I am just glad Covid will be more or less handled. It won’t go away as that would take an almost impossible effort so Covid will always be with us just like Ebola, H1N1 etc are still with us but not as wide spread as it once was.

    Some industries were for lack of a better word crushed during Covid. Hotels, theaters and airlines. Are the ones I have heard some of the worst news out of. Here is hoping the vaccine rollout is fast so we can all go back to enjoying movies in peace @Rox
