CELEBRATION V COVERAGE

Very cool! But where is the giant nipple boob gun?

HA HA HA That's funny! There was NO giant nipple boob gun, BUT I did get a pic of this from the fan built diorama!

HA! That is probaly my favorite scene, right next to the AT AT that scoots.

When they showed the episode on UK TV they cut that scene out! Too rude for the Brits? Thankfully they included it in the UK DVD package.

Cut it? That sucks! Goog thing it was on the dvd. Funny stuff.

I know - I told family to watch it after watching the full version on DVD. They didn't find it funny. They cut out a couple of scenes and changed the lines in places to tone it down - I have no idea why - it was screened at 11pm at night!

They did the same thing here in the states... The show was aired this spring, as the season finale. The DVD was a little over an hour, but of course for T.V they cut it even more. I didn't even watch the show, where I already own the disc. Jedi one is coming out Dec 21st. Trying to figure out if I want to get this one on Blue Ray. I sort of want to change the other two over, but don't know if it is justified.

Final round of random pics from CV. Seeing how it has been TWO WEEKS since we were at the show, and I still have a lot of pics to share, I am just going to do a final random "roound up" of what was out there over the course of the con. If I get really ambitious, I'll post ALL my pics on facebook or something, then give you guys the link.

The McQuarrie drawing of the imperial looks an awful lot like the man himself, George Lucas. That was the speculation, but then it was put into perspective that the drawing was done over 30 years ago, so if it WAS the intention of Ralph to draw Lucas, it would have been Lucas from 30 years ago, not today!

I can add a few more random pics here as well.

Dave Dorman, long time Star Wars artist, signing autographs and drawing free sketches. Since he played a huge part in the Crimson Empire comics, he loved Dylan's Shadowtrooper costume. I believe those comics were the first appearance of the Shadowtroopers. By the way, they are making a Crimson Empire III comic. I can't wait!

Utinni!

NICE Adam!!

I can't believe you got Filoni without the hat! I should have gone to the family room! It would have been cool to talk to him again.

Yeah I actually didn't get to talk to him in there. He was drawing for the kids, then as soon as he was finished everyone swarmed him for autographs. My wife got in there though. She got him to sign our clone wars web comic TPB's. $20 each at the show and she got every person's signature! Even Pablo Hildalgo. It's actually amazing how popular Dave has become. I guess at the moment, if you can't meet George, Dave and Steve Sansweet are next in line. Kind of like the Vice President and Secretary of State!

Just when you thought the CV coverage was over! Watto's brings you The Art of Ralph McQuarrie Part I

I literally was running through the halls on Sunday trying to get to all of the rooms I hadn't been to yet. I had missed quite a few things this time since I wanted to see certain panels and get certain autographs. I think I may have missed a couple of the art pieces in the McQuarrie Exhibit but I managed to get most of them. I really had no time to stand there and admire them, I just thought I'd take the pictures and view them later. I have cropped these photos in order to enlarge them a bit so you can see more of the detail. I will have more coming soon but for now check these out!

I am so glad that I took the time to see that display! Seeing things thae even McQuarrie himself forgot about is just awesome.

Those sketches, drawings and paintings are some of the VERY FIRST things he did for Star Wars. Many of them Lucas himself never even saw, because they were things that he used to in turn produce the stuff for George.


I can't help but to wonder why when you see the drawing of the famous Yoda scene, he is facing right. Then on the actual print, he is facing left. I would say from a printer standpoint that someone obviously reversed the negatives in the production process. A fairly simple mistake, but one that happens all too often in printing. Had I really thought it through I would have asked Paul Bateman.

I took a minute to fill out an entry in the guest book, and Paul Bateman said he will sit with Ralph and they will read over everything left by the fans!

I wrote something in there to, DJ. I can't remember what I wrote though! Oh well. I'm really glad Ralph's friends take the time to do that for him. I heard Paul say on the forcecast that since Ralph can't go to conventions anymore, they bring the conventions home to him. That is really cool.

Very awesome art!

Almost forgot I had the pics from my Cell phone! I used that in the 501st room because my camera batteries were toast.










This "Rebel" is actually a member of the 501st!! I joked with him about being on the wrong side of the table, and he showed me his baged. He is an Imperial SPY!



They had a lifesize Snowspeeder made by the Rebel legion. There were photo ops, but the line was usually way to long to wait.

Excellent photos DJ

I just caught this photo over at JeremyBulloch.com.

Here is some of Jeremy's coverage of CV. It's pretty cool. Especially the stretch Hummer.

Oh man, wish I'd been there, especially for the McQuarrie exhibit!

That Bulloch pic is awesome! It would have been even better if he had a Fett Helmet to hold while in the bubble!

Here is a great little video from starwars.com showing some of the fans at CV.

I really hope they release a full length CV video. I know they were taping all of the panels and I have heard the forcecast mention it to Steve Sansweet. That would be a nice thing to have.
