Felicity Jones charged 450$ for an autograph and photo.

Insanity.

I had her autograph for free at the Fan Event in Mexico. I can't believe she charged that much, it's insane.

 

[titansupes]

Has the closing ceremony already happened or...?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yep. It was hours ago.

 

[titansupes]

Ah okay. Nothing interesting to report from there, I guess? I kept holding out hope for some more cool news.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah, I haven't seen anything. Sorry.

 

[Snow Queen]

Ah okay. Nothing interesting to report from there, I guess? I kept holding out hope for some more cool news.

There was nothing. It jumped between the stages, the hosts talked a bit, that's about it.

 

[sueb1863]

I suppose they could still announce something on the 4th.

I can see why they wouldn't want to do a rerelease that might conflict with the Pirates release, but maybe they could do a rerelease during the weekend before or something?

So many other movies have done limited rereleases that I find it hard to believe Disney would pass up that opportunity.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I know it isn't really his anymore, but considering how adamant Lucas was about the Special Editions and beyond, maybe Disney held off any announcement of unaltered versions to not step on his toes or hurt his feelings. I mean, I know George wasn't at every event or panel, but I imagine if I was as big on the alterations as he is, it might sting a little to see a giant crowd explode when you announce the versions you're the least happy with are getting home releases.

The 40th Anniversary logo was designed by Lucas. One of the Disney folks told us at the Disney Parks booth.

The money for autographs and pictures is why bigger name actors go to the conventions now. They realized they can make some nice money off of fans

Look at those sheep....

Here are highlights from Star Wars Galactic Nights at Disney. Apparently this was the first time Rey appeared at the Disney parks:

Galactic Nights was SO much fun! Here's Rockin' Rollercoaster with the Star Wars music too. It's a little hard to hear because it's going a million miles an hour, but it was awesome:

[DarthSkywalker]

Damn you sheep, ruining Star Wars.

I quite like that Rey....

Glad Galactic Nights was so much fun danoyse. t:

LOL thanks so much for sharing that.^
Throughout Celebration and other interviews, Anthony Daniels has been hysterically spinning feigned animosity towards Alan Tudyk and his fake CG K2SomethingOrOther character.

This shot at 1:16 of them together just made my day! t:

[StarLord]

Any word that the ''Making of Rogue One'' panel is being released on YouTube or not?

 

[MurkeNyou]

I enjoyed it, but was broke, and missed a lot of panels because of really poor signage and notification of what panel line was for what.

 

[danoyse]

It was kind of a tradeoff on things we could do and things we couldn't...we got into the streaming room for the 40th Anniversary panel, but we didn't make it for the TLJ panel. But that was OK, because we were going to Disney for Galactic Nights that night. We couldn't stay for the fireworks at Galactic Nights (they weren't until 11:45), because we had the ticket for the Mark Hamill photo the next morning and we wanted to get there early....

It was like...we missed the TLJ panel, but we got to go to Disney World. We couldn't stay late at Disney World...but we got to meet Luke Skywalker the next morning. It worked out.

We spent most of the time just out on the show floor. I got tons of pictures, plus the 501st and R2 builders rooms were really cool. We got to see the TLJ trailer from the SW stage, plus we saw Felicity Jones, Forrest Whittaker, Peter Mayhew and Ian McDiarmid when they were up there.

The only bad part was the Celebration store. We knew the waits were going to be awful all weekend, but it wound up taking nearly 3 hours to get - and they were already sold out of the shirts I wanted. Then the checkout line took nearly another hour to get through, it was awful.

Here's some of the art I got:

The Leia poster they handed out at the 40th Anniversary:

Poe Dameron Resistance poster:

Rogue One poster:

Celebration poster:

"Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" (I loved this one, I preordered it before Celebration):

Plus I got these postcards:

Basically, I'm going to be rearranging my whole apartment to get these on the wall....

That one's really cool.

I watched most of the live streaming of the celebration. It was great. I loved the panels especially Rebels and TLJ. ☺
