I've not posted anything in a while yet we've been working really hard on getting news ready for you. So let's just say that we are close to telling you something about when and where it will be and you might find the host city a real surprise.

Don't hold me to it, but I bet we'll have some real news (not just a mean spirited tease like this post is) in the next 8 weeks.

Interesting if true. I'm assuming this is for 2012 (35th anniversary) so this seems a bit far ahead, but I guess they don't want a repeat of last time round.

Let the baseless location speculation begin.

That sure would fit with the Hoth theme. I wouldn't put it pass them.

I'm still holding out hope for the Anaheim Convention Center and a Star Wars weekends at Disneyland. It woud never happen because it makes too much sense.

Time to book next year's holidays! 

Orlando was fantastic for CV, so I hope to make it there again, this time with the kids and we can hit Disney as well.  Oh it was hot and humid as hell, but nothing you can't work around.  8)

I'll go ahead and put myself down as a 5% chance of going...  long time between now and then though I suppose.  :P
Title: Re: Star Wars Celebration VI - Orlando
Post by: Jesse James on June 2, 2011, 02:51 PM
Yeah, probably similar for me...  If I can drive it, I'm usually more apt to go.  If I cannot, I'm much less interested in making a trip.  I'm surprised they're holding it there again honestly.
Title: Re: Star Wars Celebration VI - Orlando
Post by: DSJ™ on June 2, 2011, 03:00 PM
Yes! I am so there!   ;D
Title: Re: Star Wars Celebration VI - Orlando
Post by: efranks on June 2, 2011, 04:26 PM
Jesse, I think I talked with you a little last year about this, but I drove down with two PSWCS members and it worked out really well.  There were a few times on the way back where we were so tired we kind of wanted to just quit, but that had more to do with our own timeline we imposed.  We could have made the trip back easier on ourselves.

If you have a decent size vehicle that gets decent gas mileage, driving from PA down isn't terrible with at least 3 people.  And if you make it a whole vacation, we threw in Disney Saturday during CV and Universal on Monday, it makes for a really fun trip.

I'm psyched to go back to Orlando as much for CVI as I am to get a chance to go to Universal again (I'm a proud Harry Potter fan).  Throw in Disney again for Star Tours 2 and I'm really geeked for this.

I am there.  More details to follow as far as which staffers I can talk into going and geeking out with me.
Title: Re: Star Wars Celebration VI - Orlando
Post by: JesseVader08 on June 2, 2011, 10:34 PM
I figure if my wife was willing to go to CV for our 10th anniversary, this should be an easy sell.  ;)  Besides, we had a lot of fun and Orlando has so much to do, it makes for a great place to visit.

I'm booked at the Rosen again & I am going back to the Kennedy Space Centre... hopefully the Atlantis will be on display by then...

BOOO!! BOOOO!!!

What a stupid place and time to have a convention. Peak toriest session and hotter than Hell.

Why can't they have it in Anaheim, CA? It's no where near as hot. We have DISNEYLAND with far better version of Star Tours! We have the Indiana Jones Adventure! We have a brand new DCA with Carsland open by then. Why do they ignore Disneyland???

Stupid LucasFilm! Who in their right mind would want to go to Florida at that time of year anyway??? 

****'em LAME! >:(  >:(  >:(  >:(

I've always wanted to go to one of these but school/cash have prevented it from ever happening. Might actually get to go to this one. I'll see if I can get Former JediDefender Poster Famine to tag along.

Since I missed the one last year I'm planning on going to this one.  Just have to figure out a few small details that may come up in that time frame.

They need to hold this at the Target Center in Minneapolis.  Who the hell wants to go to Orlando?

This needs to be in San Diego. It's always perfect weather and lots to do.

I am in, at least as it stands now.  Ordered my ticket.

Can't say I agree on it being in SD...  They get SDCC yearly, so I do like it being given to an EC area that doesn't get much.  I think it should be more central though, in general.  Chicago would be my ideal pick for that, but that's just me.

I'm disappointed to say I won't be going this time, but I was just curious to know if any of our JD regulars were going to make it?
Title: Re: Star Wars Celebration VI - Orlando

I will be there on Thursday and Friday... :)

I'll be there for the whole tour... I'll be staffing the Collecting Track Panels so stop on by & say Hi & stay for the best giveaway the Collecting Track has to offer!   ;D

Post by: sabresedge on August 15, 2012, 02:29 AM
I'll be there the whole time. The collecting track panels are going to be awesome and the giveaways are one of the best yet. I'm sponsoring the Blue Snaggletooth Star Tot so be on the lookout for him. See you guys next week!

I'll be there all 4 days and sitting in on many of the collecting track panels. Won't be able to miss me, I'll be wearing a different FFURG/Forgotten Force shirt each day.  ;D

Have fun Jason...  Wish I was going and could meet up.  Asked our mutual friend the other day when you're coming into town to catch a game at PNC!  I know it's not on your done list yet!

I won't be there, but pictures of my Imperial army will be. They're going to be part of a collectors showcase.

Good times & safe travels to those of you going to Celebration 6!  I wish I could've made it to this one, but sometimes life gives you a better plan.   :)
