A few of the things we witnessed at the Star Wars Celebration convention that I doubt happen anywhere else:
-
- A panel on Star Wars vegetable carving — that was full to capacity.
- The feeling you’re being followed, and then realizing that behind you is a full-size working R2D2 made out of LEGO.
- An emcee, who, immediately after showing a movie trailer, asks “Do you want to see it again?” and an audience that shouts “YEAH!” and stays to watch a second time.
- A guy who cosplays as George Lucas.
- A room full of non-Navajo speakers going to a screening of a movie in Navajo.
- Carrie Fisher casually wandering out to a food court patio to give her dog some water.
- A 3D movie experience that keeps getting disrupted by people walking in late and using light sabers as flashlights.

That is so awesome. I thought I was fancy with my Star Wars pancakes. But Star Wars vegetable carving…
Star Wars pancakes are cool! The guy doing the vegetable carving talk is a sushi chef, so precise cutting of food is actually his job. Most of us will not be carving sweet potatoes into droids. ;)
It’s a good thing the emcee asked if the audience wanted to see the trailer again. Otherwise, there might have been some friendly rioting :-)
Good point! It may have been enough to turn some fans to the dark side.

Last night I was watching “bog bang theory” and they were talking about star war convention! Never knew it existed for real!!
Funny that they mentioned it on Big Bang Theory but makes sense! Yes, I can verify the Star Wars convention was very real and very crowded.
