Hopefully your feelings towards him will change come May 19th. It may be unlikely, but you never know.

Eheheheheheheh. I went over to the convention center to get my "badge" at will-call today. Saw a couple Jedi, stormtroopers, and a really good Jango Fett costume. First day of the action is tomorrow. I'm stoked.

You mean since Tuesday (yesterday?) :D

It's weird to see those pictures when I was just there. Maybe I'll be in one. :p

A group of the Stormtrooper 501st here in Georgia left Wed morning to attend Celebration III. One of the attendees left their dog for me to babysit. In return, he better get me one of the limited edition Vader figures.

Or else.

Cool pics. Too bad I couldn't go because of limited funding.

Oh man. Good stuff.

Today I went through all of the exhibit hall, the archive exhibit (got some good pictures of cool stuff), the R2-D2 builders room (boy do these people have a lot of time on their hands), the Star Wars art show (got an awesome free picture and got it signed by an artist name Tsuneo Sanda sandaworld.com), and other fun stuff. Stopped by the autograph hall too, and though I don't plan on getting any autographs (they cost $10 - $30) I saw all sorts of celebs (pretty much everyone listed in the link I provided above). I was expecting Amy Allen to be really hot but she is too skinny for my taste, her arms were like toothpicks.

I also went to see a session hosted by Jay Laga'aia (very cool guy, plays captain typho) that was primarily about Temuera Morrison. This was pretty cool. Apparantly they have been good friends for a long time and it was kind of like a Late Night style interview with some Q&A at the end. They also had Bodie Taylor who plays the middle-aged Jango clone in Ep. 2. This was really well done and amusing.

Last thing I saw was a SW Trivia Game Show they put on in this one room. Wow these people are insane. Anyone who wants to compete gets up and they ask a question and provide two possible answers and have everyone move to the side of the room they think is right. They do this until it is narrowed down to 4 people (only took about 5 or 6 tough questions). I tried my hand the 2nd time around and got the first question right (when the tie fighters attack the falcon who kills the 3rd tie, han or luke? luke, of course) but missed the second question, something about when Taun We (sp) tells Obi-Wan they have a certain amount of units (clones) ready, is it 100,000 or 200,000 (200,000). Some questions that were gotten right by the final players: Name the 39th chapter on the Phantom Menace DVD (which a girl got right by guessing Duel of the Fates), what is the name of some obscure characters father in the Ewok cartoon show, who is the actor that plays some character I had never even heard of, crazy random things like that.

Saw a few good costumes and took some pictures. Can't wait till tomorrow when I will go to a session about Nick Gillard, one about Ray Park, will see SW in 30 minutes, 1 Man SW, a session on SW Sound Design, meet the SW art department, and see the SW Fan Film Awards hosted by Warwick Davis.
