LA. Day 4

Friday worked out to be a busy day.. There were lots of sights and sounds to see. Lets start out with some of the costumes I got to see..

I went to the Lucasfilm Archive Exhibit. There was some cool stuff there. Unfortunately, there wasnt enough of it..

The Death Star Prototype

The Millenium Falcon Prototype

The Star Destroyer Prototype

The Prototypes for the cloud car, sheild generators, and the jawa sandcrawler.

Some costumes from the movies....

The Vader helmet from the funeral on Jedi, and the anakin charred face from sith.

The Clapper from Return of the Jedi.

Some painted their car up like the millenium falcon

And then a rebel car.

G4 was shooting a show at the convention so I got a chance to watch all the behind the scenes.. Heres a pic of 3 Fetts. Boba Fett, Jango Fett, and Boba Fett..

I got to see a sneak preview of Fanboys. A movie coming out probably in January about the star wars geeks trying to break into skywalker ranch to get a print of episode 1 before it comes out. If you are a star wars fan, you will love this movie. I got to see 45 minutes of footage, and it was hysterical... Kristen Bell of Veronica Mars fame is in the movie and was on hand. Unfortunately I was only able to snap off 1 picture before they told us to stop, and ofcourse it was blurry.

Here is the vader surgery table from Episode 3

Opening Ceremonies was a blast. I didnt get too many pictures because I videotaped most of it. Lets just say we sang happy birthday to Star Wars. Everyone in the hall got a piece of cake. We had previews of things to come. A message from George Lucas. Some singing, some dancing. And a boba fett flying across the room witih a jet pack. It was a good good time.
