Bryan Young announced today that the popular “Why We Love The Prequels” panel will be back at Celebration VI! Set for Sunday August 26 at 10:30 a.m. in a bigger room (The Behind The Scenes Stage), all of the same panelists return plus some promised surprise celebrity guests.
Maybe our meetup should be at this panel and lunch afterwards? Whaddya say?

Terrific! And yes! Why isn’t my book published yet though? Arrrrgh.

Although the snide part of me feels this makes as much sense as a “Why We Love SW” panel at a SW Celebration. Why wouldn’t we? As part of my personal “I’m a SW fan period” campaign, in my mind I’m growing increasingly hesitatnt to even draw a line separating the PT and the OT. It’s all the Wars. Can’t wait for this, even though part of me feels it’ll be as redundant as attending a panel titled “Why We Love Winning a Million Dollars” or “Why We Love Mind-Blowing Sex” …

I won’t lie; it’s sad this panel is even necessary in the first place. But until the world just accepts it all as just Star Wars and until prequel mentions aren’t accompanied with the expected bashing, somebody has to stand up for the movies. Lucasfilm people need to see there is a fanbase they’re ignoring. The panel at CV was probably the best of the entire event and not just because it was a pep rally for the PT. It was for once deep discussion of the saga as a whole.

oooh! Clearing off my dance card right now
Will be early in line this time so I can sit toward the front instead of SRO in the back

crud! Will have to be a quick lunch for me….. have to be at the airport. How about breakfast or does everyone sleep in?

By Sunday sleeping in may be needed ….

I am broke and can’t afford to go. ENDLESS SADNESS AND RAGE.

Well, I missed Celebrations I and III for that reason. I can feel your pain!

Look, I’ve missed them ALL. And yes, I’m broke but I’m going anyway. Take out a loan. Hit up the relatives. Rob a bank. It’s the Wars, man!

I wish I was going.
I’ll be there in sprit.

Glad this panel will be back and with what sounds like a higher profile. Definitely be up for a meet-up afterwards!

If we can land a vehicle on Mars I can make the meet-up – will find a way for Mears to pick up a hitchhiker with flowered luggage.

I hope some people are taking HD devices — 720p and 1080p recording equipment — to this panel. Modern phones and cameras comfortably offer such a facility; although, there is a snag: you’re often limited to about twenty mins of recording time in 1080p and forty minutes in 720p. Still, modern digital devices offer the chance to document things in good detail, and it would be great to see this something like this up on YouTube in good quality. A few years ago, when GL was interviewed by Jon Stewart, the copies I came across had terrible sound. I’d like to think that that won’t be a problem with whatever happens this time around.
