ChAiNz.2da Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Every single one of those is in america only. hmmm.. good point. I've tried, but to no avail, of finding non-US celebrations.. so I, and other members of the forums would really appreciate it if anyone knows anything going on in their Country/Region/Territory/Backyard.. hehehe. Feel free to post here and I could include it in an SWK report to celebrate the big StarWars Global 30th Anniversary celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavlos Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The BBC has run an interesting series of articles on the birth of Star Wars, if anyone cares to take a look. Edit: They've uploaded a report that the BBC ran in 1977 showing the countless hordes of people waiting to see a showing of Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 You know, id rather go to the one in LA than london. If they are planning another Celebration in the future, id kill to go to that. I wished i could have gone to this one but ive had no money. I know if i went to the London one id be the only one there, Americans are more open about geekdom than the stern-quiet british. Tis why i want to move to America in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
