B-52 GUNNER Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 April 2005 Indianapolis, Indiana C3 will be held in April 2005 when the last STAR WARS Movie is released. As it gets closer I'll post a more accurate date and time. Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Actually, Episode III will be released in May, not April of 2005. As to your question, no, I won't be going. AFAIK, this is on topic, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuey Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I think that you mean to ask if anyone will be going to C3 in April 2005 which will help promotes Ep3, which will be released in May 2005. And yes, I will attend along with probably a few hundred men and women of the 501st Legion (Imperial Star Wars costume club) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Question Indianapolis, Indiana? Why Indiana? No offensive to the good people of Indianapolis but it isn't some city in the US that the entire world has heard about. Why not some major world known city on either the east or west coast?

Uxi Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 That's what I'm talking about, Roy. They need to put that thing on the Left Coast and I'd be there. Hell, Las Vegas would be a good spot IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offensive to the good people of Indianapolis but it isn't some city in the US that the entire world has heard about. Why not some major world known city on either the east or west coast? Probably because it's the middle of the country... easier driving distance for most folks. Indinapolis is a big city, btw... it's just not Hollywood or New York It's about time folks did something interesting in the middle of the U.S. New York and L.A. get all kinds of cool crap. Let's hear it for middle america! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offensive to the good people of Indianapolis but it isn't some city in the US that the entire world has heard about. Why not some major world known city on either the east or west coast? Gen Con LLC and Lucas Film Limited (LFL) wanted a middle grouond area so that people from the west and east coast would be encouraged to attend. Check out Gen Con's official statement about Celebration 3. Personally, I would like to see it in someplace San Deigo or Las Vegas, but I'll essentially plan to go wherever they hold it.

007-vf1 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 that picture above has 2 dart vaders, 3 bobba fett and so many imperial guards... I don't know how more geeky can that get...but I think I like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarensaas Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Somebody better be on the lookout for Triumph from Conan O'Brien at C3. Sounds like it will also be major spoiler heaven, so I'm sure MBs will be flooded with them during the end of April. This one of ANY of the 6 SW movies will be the hardest to see spoiler free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I know what u mean. I'd certainly be embarassed if I showed up as Darth Vader and there was another one (POSER!). The other Fett's could at least change colors and pretend to be "other" Mandalorians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-52 GUNNER Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 I forgot to post a photo of who I got to meet at CIII. Sorry for bringing up such an old post. Scot Here it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Heh, there's like 1 kid in that photo, the rest all look like middle-age guys. That should tell Lucas something about who the real target audience for Star Wars is. Oh well, it's too late, eps I, II & III are all done. Perhaps if Lucas changes his mind and films eps VII, VIII & IX he'll film them for a more mature audience, rather than making what are mostly kiddy flicks.

Graham 364305[/snapback] The people that attend those events are a lot diffrent than the average movie-goer. Check the toy aisle at your local store. I guarantee you that people like us aren't the ones buying flashlights with plastic tubes taped on the ends and Darth Vader voice changer masks. At best they're true family movies. At worst, they're giant toy commercials. Meesa beg you! Buy me friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham 364319[/snapback] It's fun to wear one and try to sound like James Earl Jones. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the Master Replicas Studio Scale Darth Vader Helmet. The thing is a beauty, but at the going price... Ouch. My little deformed (in comparison) voice changing hunk of plastic does fine. If only I could see out of it well enough to wear it as my helmet of power while playing counterstrike source... edit: so b-52 met R2-D2, George Lucas, and Rick McCallum. Anyone I missed in that pic?

Despite whatever crap the EU wanted to do to Max to make him detestable, the movie Veers was ultimately cool. He was competent (although not challenged at all) and he demonstrated both respect for Vader and for his superior officer (Ozzel, who probably didn't deserve it, but as Admiral of the fleet, it was at least obligatory). Good military man. Despite it not really looking much like him, I love that this Veers is a 'two for one' bridge officer and ground commander....perfect multiple figure material for my little Imperial display (just wish we could get some highly articulated Snowtroopers...the VOTC Stormtroopers are simply awesome in that you can have them at various version of attention (firearms displayed or not) or throw them into action poses at will. And we finally get Moff Jerjerrod down the road too! Anyway, I came for the Veers, but I think I'll need to get Derlin too. Always liked him as a kid, even before I realized that he was Cliffy Clavin! Little know fact that the Bruins played six seasons at Echo Base before moving to the Stadium.

Black Valkyrie Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Well its only Vader and R2 in my list. The rebels are alerted to our presence, admiral Ozzel came out of light speed to close to the system ...

Southpaw Samurai Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Check out this awesome AT-AT Diorama ! 368370[/snapback] Pretty cool...especially the lighting. The command center's a little wonky on postioning/scale (Veers seemed closer to the drivers in the movie and the whole area seemed less spacious), but I'm not going to complain at all. Sorta dig the Snow-Scouttrooper. It's sort of shame that there hasn't really been any great, well articulated Snowtroopers. Nearly every version looks like they either have to find a bathroom or are getting ready to line up on the defense. Have a similar issue with my Vader/Emperor shuttle landing shelf...officers and regular stormtroopers are mostly nicely at some form of attention and the Snow and Scout troopers look like they all just wandered out of the bar... complete lack of discipline!

B-52 GUNNER Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 so b-52 met R2-D2, George Lucas, and Rick McCallum. Anyone I missed in that pic? Droid Wrangler Don Bies. He's the man who made the R2 Builder Group what it is by allowing us to measure the real think. Sorry for such a late reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
