Messe Essen, Here We Come

Celebration_Europe_II_Cropped

When this blog is posted, I’ll (hopefully) be almost ready to head back to the States after a little R&R (riding and refocusing) in Namibia.

I’ll be thinking of Germany on the airplane back to San Francisco – Essen, Germany, and Celebration Europe, to be specific.

First things on the list for our Lucasfilm and Reed teams in October:

  • Finalize ticket sales, hotel registrations, and post on starwarscelebration.eu.
  • Talk guests and guest announcements.
  • Look over the first round of fan programming ideas, fan table applications, and other fan-produced events. There is so much fan interest for Celebration Europe from all over the continent and beyond. My counterparts and I are eager to dig into it and see what we can include.
  • Finalize the sign-up process for the masquerade.
  • Think about what cool, really big things we can share at the show.
  • Plan to have FUN!

That’s just the very start, of course — just scratching the Celebration Europe surface. There’s a lot more to come in the next few months.

    Drawmaster1, it’s in Germany because European fans should have their chance to celebrate Star Wars, as well, not always just Americans! Secondly, there are lots of fans in Germany, with lots of money to spend on all the stuff. Isn’t that enough?:)

    I’ll see if I can go, but Essen is actually much closer than London, for one thing.

    Having travelled from the UK to Orlando for celebration VI I will probably give the German event a miss. I went to Celebration Europe in 2007 and the US event left it for dead. My hopes for another Celebration is that they pick Vegas for Celebration VII.
