Celebration I: Party Like It's 1999

Posted By Justin on April 27, 2009

From Starwars.com:

"It's hard to believe, but it has been 10 years since the first Star Wars Celebration, held on April 30 through May 2 in 1999 in Denver, Colorado. The reason for this first party was obvious -- the impending release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. But in retrospect, that first Celebration has come to embody more than a single film's release.

It was the mark of a resurgence of Star Wars fandom, a perfect storm of passionate fans and burgeoning technology that allowed Star Wars enthusiasts worldwide to connect and share in celebrating the saga."

And definitely be sure to head on over to our Rebelscum Forums where we have a thread dedicated to discussing all of our fond memories from 1999.

Has it really been 10 whole years since we first saw a double-bladed lightsaber, Jar Jar Binks, and a podracer? Amazing how quickly time passes by...

And one has to wonder - with everyone being in this celebratory mood reminiscing about Celebration I, could an official Celebration V announcement be not too far off?

"Help us Steve and Mary - you're our only hope!!"
