Happy 30th Birthday, Star Wars

[lyore]

Well, I couldn't let this day pass without comment, could I?

A couple of Star Wars flavoured links for you:

Death Star Convention Centre. Hopefully their Death Star survives longer than the first two...

Star Wars Fan charged with possessing an unregistered firearm How can a replica of Han Solo's Blaster be an unregistered firearm? It doesn't even fire!

Non-Star Wars related, but a complete classic anyway - carmarthen's The Trouble with Mad Scientists. Cause it's James Bond vs Velociraptors, and we all need more of that!

And LJ? If you eat this post, any more of my comments, or refuse to load other pages, I'll have carmathen set her velociraptors on you. Seriously. CUT IT OUT.

I went last year and am planning on going again this year (as long as work doesn't through a spanner in the works). Supernova is a 'Pop Culture' con, effectively both anime and sci-fi.

I go mostly for the merchandising (a couple of the larger comic-n-figurine stores sell their stuff discounted), and to look at all the people wandering around in costume. But last year I did get to go to a panel with Colin Cunningham, which increased my (already strong) love of Major Davies tenfold.
