You know what I'm really disappointed with?

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!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I think its due to the lack of celebrity power...SW:EP3 is still being covered here in Malaysia 5 months after the premier, abait due to them using pics of celebrities taken during the event...

Seriously agreed... we need SW people to inflitrade the media...
I think the media still thinks the AOSW exhibition is not world class...
Either that SSC did not do enough PR.

Media wants new news, not old news.

want more publicity? fine, grab a new TCS celebrity to SSC each week, and I'm sure tabloid will follow faithfully for the next 5 months ... hehe

Kidnap Fann Wong and put her in Chewbacca costume...
Spread the news to the smaller papers...

That's mean leh, SoloFalcon, hehe ... put her in slave Leia costume can attract more crowd than Big Boyz Toyz in Singapore Expo!

Eh Fann cannot fulfill Leia's slave costume unless she inject's Jabba's fats in to vital places... or she has the force to hold the illusion...

No offence taken, but just to clarify, the media wasn't explicitely covering the EP3 premier 5 mths after the evetn. They just happen to used the pic of a local celeb taken during that event, so indirectly giving SW exposure...
