Star Wars Celebration in Orlando

The 5th Star Wars Celebration starts tomorrow at  the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL and is the official Lucasfilm event celebrating all things Star Wars, produced by fans for fans. This is where you will find the largest Star Wars parties, featuring cast and crew celebrities, fans, costumes, music, live entertainment, autographs, collectibles, and panels — but mainly friends who gather to have fun and celebrate their love for the saga.

From fans who first experienced A New Hope in theaters to kids just discovering Star Wars through Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Celebration touches on anything and everything connected with that galaxy far, far away.

The first event took place back in 1999 and it doesn’t have a permanent home. Instead, it travels around the world to avoid Imperial detection — and to bring Star Wars to as many fans as possible. The event runs from August 12 – 15, 2010, and commemorates the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, celebrates the continuing televised adventures of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and looks forward to exciting new Star Wars projects to come.

Opening times are:

Some of the stars who will appear are Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill while George Lucas will be interviewed by Jon Stewart onstage Saturday morning. The field of folks signing autographs includes Anthony Daniels, Ray Park, Warwick Davis, Peter Mayhew, Daniel Logan,  Julian Glover and Temuera Morrison.

Single-day admission is $48 for adults, $27 for children; four-day passes are $128 adults, $54 for children.
