One year ago this weekend 10s of 1,00os of Star Wars fans flocked to the Anaheim convention center for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. The official Lucasfilm/Disney convention played host to loads of Star Wars celebrities, movie and animated debuts, merchandise vendors and panels on every aspect of fandom. From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com was there as a member of the Star Wars press and co-host on the Podcast Stage. With the next Celebration still a few months away in London, we thought we’d relive some of the highlights from the biggest Star Wars Celebration to date!

Jedi Luke, our buddy Jon and I decided to wait in live overnight to get into the main arena to see JJ and KK.

We received visitors throughout the night like Ahmed Best (Jar Jar) and JTA (James Arnold Taylor aka Obi-Wan) and JJ and KK even sent pizza!

In addition to getting a 10-minute interview with Hasbro they showed us some of their great new figures.

Interviewed the Disney rep on info about the Disney Park exclusive Droid Factory build-a-droid line.

Podcasted live from the Podcast Stage with my brothers from Galaxy of Toy Podcast! Right to left: me, Ryan Beise, Jason Luttrull, Criz Bee and Tom Berges.

Here’s one of our besties Tom Berges from IGrewUpStarWars.com doing the celebrity thing with his appearance in the documentary Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys.

What trip to Southern California would be complete without a visit to the Sarlacc Pit filming location with Gus Lopez and SARLACC (Seattle ARea Lucasfilm Collecting Club!

A few miles of dune walking gets you to Buttercup Valley previous home of the might Jabba’s Sail Barge.
It was a fantastic time and not only did we see and do so many cool things, there were some many things we were so busy doing we didn’t even capture an image of! In the end, we met a lot of great fellow collectors and fans and that was the best take away from the whole show. We are looking forward to doing it all again next year for Celebration…Orlando perhaps?
Till next time,
May the Figures be with you!
