The second seminar held in the same room was "The Dark Side Revealed", where co-authors Slavicsek and Wiker commented on writing the book and answered a lot of questions from fans.

Other events were the Star Wars Connections seminar, hosted by LFL's Steve Sansweet. It was on Friday and Saturday. Steve showed the audience the first two episodes of Making Episode II on a big screen, as well as an exlusive report clip (that had some footage from the interview on the recent re-release of the classic trilogy on tape) and to top it all of, a montage of never-before-seen clips from behind the scenes of the new movie! Steve also answered a lot of questions from fans, in his usual friendly and humorous manner.

Actor and writer Billy Dee Williams was also attending for signing autographs. I didn't get to meet him but a friend who was with me did. Convention favorites Michonne Bourriague (Aurra Sing) and Shannon Baksa (Mara Jade) also were signing, and authors Michael A. Stackpole and Timothy Zahn were signing at the Decipher booth (I got an exclusive Talon Karrde&Corran Horn&Mara Jade card signed by all three!) R.A. Salvatore was also there and Aaron Allston was lurking around...

I also got a chance to demo the new Jedi Knights TCG and see all the new Coruscant cards (available in stores on Wednesday) at the Decipher Booth. The WotC Castle had the Star Wars Delve, a kind of miniatures set-up but with action figures. It played with the SW Adventure Game rules.

All that and meeting some friends from the Lucasfilm and the SWFA, and I had a fun week-end. For more information, go on WotC's Virtual Gen Con page.
