lazypadawanstarwars.com announced the last batch of artists selling prints at CIV. You've got Adam Hughes with a cheesecake Leia piece. Randy Martinez has an absolutely hilarious Sith rock band piece featuring Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Count Dooku, Palpatine, and General Grievous on drums. The backup singers are Mara Jade, Asajj Ventriss, and Aurra Sing. Matt Busch has a tribute to Impies and one guy is doing a piece featuring Padmé in all 38 of her costumes! With prints averaging about 50 bucks apiece and many with very limited runs, I don't know how I'm going to choose!
starwars.com also announced that Seth Green and the rest of the Robot Chicken crew will be at Celebration IV. I have mixed feelings about this. I suppose it's all right if the emphasis is on the SW special they are creating for Cartoon Network, set to air in June. Ditto for the "Family Guy" and "Fanboys" panels. Yes I know that without a new film to promote they need to fill up time with other things. But what sets Celebration apart from every other convention, including DragonCon or Comic Con, is that it's our party, not a generic sci-fi or pop culture convention. Once Celebration starts to be about other things, it's not as special anymore. There used to be many Star Trek-only cons in the late '80s/early '90s but by the mid '90s many of them became generic media fandom cons. The annual Grand Slam show in Pasadena for example. There's another annual Trek only show in Las Vegas now but the Grand Slam is now about every high concept t.v. show and movie franchise. It's great for those fans but if I were a Trekker, I'd be annoyed. Just sayin'.
Whatever the case may be, there's a trailer for the Robot Chicken SW special up now on starwars.com. I didn't know that Mark Hamill is voicing Luke! It looks pretty funny.
