Every time we discuss about it at her booth during the exhibition, I was drooling off my rear and planning to even try to work there. Just imagine, a REAL Family-Orientated SW Exhibition and live apperances of Clone Troopers every day apart from seeing majoprity, if not all of the costumes from all 6 movies and even have the chance to feel the replica of certain popular Amidala Gowns.
But I guess some things in RL kinda caught up with her. Even the last news I heard of her was that she wasn't that well any more.

Too bad, SW Celebration won't come anywhere near here. Man, I would love to go.
Well, The Philippines have a Sci-Fic and Fantasy Convention every year but it's still small compared to US ones and covers several titles from Movies, Books, Games and TV Series.
Malaysia have minor ones once or a few times a year, nowadays mostly at Cineleisure Damansara since a member have a Cafe/Club House there.
Other than that, not heard of any big fan gatherings or convention.
