Star Wars-ing: Friday Star Wars Celebration Preview

We are autograph collectors.  Friday is a day we pretty much focused on that.  Scheduled for tomorrow:

  • Hayden Christensen
  • Freddie Prinze Jr.
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar
  • Riz Ahmed
  • Steve Blum
  • Venessa Marshall

That doesn’t seem like a lot, but three of those rarely do cons. We are expecting long lines. Today, Hayden’s lines seemed to move decently.

I have a photo op with Ms. Gellar and we have one with Mr. Christensen and Ian McDiarmid.

That will take up most of the day. However, if we could these are the panels we would go to:

  • The Last Jedi panel
  • Star Wars Fan Girls; Star Wars Geek Girls
  • Star Wars Movie Trivia Schmoedown: Witwer vs. Napzok vs. Camera

  • The Heroines of Star Wars
  • Star Wars Comics in the Classroom
  • Mark Hamill’s Tribute to Carrie Fisher

We might try to make one of those (we would love to go to the tribute, I’m just thinking a lot of the people are camping are going to get the Last Jedi and the Tribute…we would if we were).

Either way, we are looking forward to tomorrow.

May the force be with you, everyone!
