George Lucas will make an extraordinary guest appearance at
Celebration III. His appearance at the Indiana Convention Center during the huge
Star Wars fan festival will mark the first time that Lucas has attended a fan convention since the gathering that marked the 10-year anniversary of
A New Hope in 1987.
"George has been very busy finishing Episode III, getting the last shots from
ILM, and doing the final mix," said
Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's head of Fan Relations. "So we were delighted that he was able to carve some time out from a heavily-booked schedule to share some of his thoughts with fans in person as he completes this amazing 30-year screen saga."
The filmmaker will be appearing on the Sagamore Ballroom stage with host
Jay Laga'aia, where he will answer questions about his experiences creating the
Star Wars saga, the surprises along the way, and his thoughts about what might come next both for him as a filmmaker and for
Star Wars after
Revenge of the Sith leaves the big screen. Final details are being arranged, but Lucas has confirmed his plans to be in Indianapolis at some point during the four-day
Celebration III, April 21 -- 24. Gen Con LLC, which is managing
Celebration III in partnership with Lucasfilm, has reopened its advance ticket sales from now through 5:00 PM PST this Friday, April 8. If you haven't purchased a ticket yet, this is one way to guarantee your ability to attend the biggest
Star Wars fan convention ever. Advance ticket sales already are well more than double those of advanced sales for
Celebration II.
