2019 Star Wars Celebration - Chicago - Page 4

Once they announce signers, I'd appreciate if any of you VIPs not using all your auto passes maybe can get one or two more for my PC. Obviously I'd compensate for it!

So Mark from Topps Authentics did a love chat in the auto Facebook group and mentioned theres another event that weekend at McCormick place and some things may be taking place in the Marriott.

Also said they plan to have some signers Monday too so it wouldn't be a throw away day.

Interesting!
Still should be a fun time despite some of the events being in the Marriott. Good thing I lucked out on VIP!
Thanks for the info

I've got VIP also! And a room at Marriott!

Only thing is I'm hoping theres going to be new meet and greet people I want to see. I think Mark said Daisy has been to some cons, so fingers crossed.

However, I'm also planning my wedding for next year, so worst case I sell my VIP and double up haha.

Here's the link to the interview.

They also mentioned no swaps for Hamill. Hes filming season 2 of knight fall which is why he hasn't been able to sign.

Sounds more like a busy thing than stopping signing thing. However, youd think he'd have had 1 day to sit down and sign 200 autos quickly, but it is what it is.

Chiming in pretty late on this thread, but I'm excited to share that I will be attending Celebration 2019, flying in from the mountains of Colorado!

Not only will this be my first celebration, but it'll be my first convention. Hope to meet some of you all there and get in on some group breaks and such

We will for sure have to set something

Dewman · 09-21-2018, 01:41 PM

A buddy and I will be driving in from Utah making a two week vacation out of the trip, also VIP. I just wish there was more to see along the way. Anyone have any suggestions? We haven't planned the route we will take there and back yet. That will probably depend on what we can find to do along the way.

Only spots I know would be the stretch from MN to WI to Chicago which would likely be out of the way ...

Milwaukee is definitely worth it, but in April, depending on snow and such, may be a pain and not as much to experience. Summers are awesome here with tons of festivals all the time.

But we have the new milwaukee bucks arena and miller park, both of which may have games going on around celebration time if you're into sports.

Are you saying that bc carrie and Kenny passed and Ford has no reason to show?

Hamill and Daniels and McDiarmid should be there. Mayhew may not due to his health.

Sorry I don't. It was like in the middle kinda. If you watch on the Facebook feed it's one of the spots where the timeline bump is highest (like how when people interact it gives spikes in interaction)

I agree Hamiil, Daniels, and McDiarmid are likely to go. Plus Billy Dee might be there, especially since he's in Ep IX.

Unfortunately, as the years go on, there are just going to be less and less original trilogy actors. And it was a small miracle Harrison Ford ever attended a Celebration.

i highly doubt hamill will be there. daniels, mcdiarmid, and mayhew are on the con circuit, they're not hard to get. btw have you seen mayhew's signature lately? it's horrible, he needs to retire

and i meant i'm not going to buy a plane ticket, hotel room, plus admission when most of the signers will be from the star wars rebels cartoons

Why wouldn't he show? There will be an Ep9 panel and he will be done filming things by then.

Mayhews sig has gotten bad due to his health, but he keeps doing it bc the fans who love him.

And you forget about the prequels and rogue one and solo. Of they can land Glover or Joonas or Harreleon or Clarke thatd be awesome.

It's also the 20th anniversary of Ep 1. Hoping Best would be there.

Sorry if you only enjoy the OT, because plenty of others want to be there to experience everything.
