It's the lack of coverage by the local press. All the exhibition got was one tiny little mention above the comics section in Life! in Straits Times on the Saturday (opening day).

I mean COME ON!!!!

This is the pop culture of pop culture. This show is in this region for what? The Only stop in Asia? We have people flying down from Taiwan and HK to grace the event, we have fans from all walks of life (including one battle damaged tie fighter in the parking lot) in costumes, we have LOADS (OK, maybe a couple) of kids ALSO dressed in costumes (yes yes, there's a self interest element here) and you have the PRESIDENT of the Republic of Singapore GRACE AND OFFICIALLY OPEN the event and all it got was a small reference in the COMICS PAGE!?!?!?!?!

A blogger talking about handicapped toilets got more press coverage than this event. WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :x :x :evil: :evil: :shock:

Precisely!!! We had the PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE grace the event for crying out loud!!!

Sighs....... tucks tail between legs and crawls away.... :( :cry:

Daniel did mention in a post that George Lucas and Rick Mc Callum were invited but they couldn't come, I am sure they are busy discussing about Indiana Jones IV, waiting for Steven Speilberg to finish Munich before they start this new venture.

Cheers.

Dear Fans,

My name is David Guivant, I will be doing a presentation of my shortfilm that was selected and screened in France during the OFFICIAL starwars Convention that was held in PARIS: SW REUNION.

We were published in the FRENCH LUCASFILM MAGAZINE #54
I still get in touch with the publisher and he is excited that my short film is going to be screened in SINGAPORE as part of the STAR WARS EXHIBITION + You guys will get to see the TEASERS for PRIME OF THE JEDI that takes place after the NEW JEDI ORDER.

The Publisher has followed the event like the Uncrating and opening and is very excited. He asked me give him an update on the Singapore event. :P
(There is an exhibition in France but I don't think that he even get to see the people uncrating the items over there)


There is a column in each issue of the LUCASFILM MAG called: BANTHA TRACKS (Sur les traces de BANTHA) that deals with conventions and events that happens around the world like convention in SPain... 8)

I am pretty sure he would also appreciate having some photos from many Singapore fans that attended the opening of the exhibition here. :wink:

If you fans have some photos that you would like to share with the Magazine in Europe, please e-mail the magazine at:

dr.jones@courleciel.com
lucasmag@wanadoo.fr


Or if you want to post a CD Full of photos, you can send it to:

Lucasfilm Magazine
B.P. 82
75961 PARIS Cedex 20
FRANCE

Cheers mates.


Dave :wink:

We found some hidden talents amongst the Star Trek fans that would make great Star Wars costumers. We are encouraging them to join the Star Wars costumers.

Hi Plo ,

There should be enough at the moment. You'll be in Singapore in time for 10th December , correct ? I'm sure it will still be available , but if you like, I'll pick up one for you . You probably will want the delux version. If you want a particular number , let me know and I'll try to get it for you. :)

What number?

Any serial number you want up to 1999.

The first 10 and serial number 2000 are already taken up .... I can try to get a particular serial number that you want if it has not already been taken up....

hey, dan, you can do that? Anyway, is the 'delux' version the same price?

Also, I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned, but how many pages is the book?
